Sidestand; Ignition Circuit Cut-Off System - Yamaha FJR1300AS 2011 Owner's Manual

INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS

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.
TIP
The built-in sidestand switch is part of
3
the ignition circuit cut-off system, which
cuts the ignition in certain situations.
(See page 3-33 for an explanation of
the ignition circuit cut-off system.)
WARNING
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 be-
fore starting off. Therefore, check
EAU15304 this system regularly and have a
Yamaha dealer repair it if it does not
function properly.
