Since the storage compartment
accumulates heat when ex-
posed to the sun and/or the en-
gine heat, do not store anything
susceptible to heat, consum-
ables or flammable items inside
it.
To avoid humidity from spread-
ing through the storage com-
partment, wrap wet articles in a
plastic bag before storing them
in the compartment.
Since the storage compartment
may get wet while the vehicle is
being washed, wrap any articles
stored in the compartment in a
plastic bag.
Do not keep anything valuable or
breakable in the storage com-
partment.
WARNING
TIP
TIP
Do not leave your vehicle unattended
with the seat open.
Sidestand
The sidestand is located on the left
side of the frame. Raise the sidestand
or lower it with your foot while holding
the vehicle upright.
The built-in sidestand switch is part of
the ignition circuit cut-off system,
which cuts the ignition in certain situa-
tions. (See the following section for an
explanation of the ignition circuit
cut-off system.)
The vehicle must not be ridden with
the sidestand down, or if the side-
stand cannot be properly moved up
(or does not stay up), otherwise the
sidestand could contact the ground
and distract the operator, resulting
in a possible loss of control.
Yamaha’s ignition circuit cut-off
system has been designed to assist
the operator in fulfilling the respon-
sibility of raising the sidestand
before starting off. Therefore, check
this system regularly and have a
Yamaha dealer repair it if it does not
function properly.
