Shifting - Yamaha Tracer 9 Owner's Manual

Operation and important riding points
TIP
This model is equipped with:
• an inertial measurement
(IMU). This unit stops the engine in
case of a turnover. Turn the main
switch off and then on before at-
tempting to restart the engine.
Failing to do so will prevent the en-
gine from starting even though the
6 engine will crank when pushing
the start switch.
• an engine auto-stop system. The
engine stops automatically if left
idling for 20 minutes. If the engine
stops, simply push the start
switch to restart the engine.
