personal injury that may result from
improper handling.
●
Do not tamper with or attempt to
open the gas cylinder.
● Do not subject the shock ab-
sorber to an open flame or other
high heat sources, otherwise it

Sidestand

The sidestand is located on the left side
of the frame. Raise the sidestand or
lower it with your foot while holding the
motorcycle upright.
NOTE:
_
The built-in sidestand switch is part of
the ignition circuit cut-off system, which
cuts the ignition in certain situations.
(See further down for an explanation of
the ignition circuit cut-off system.)

_
The motorcycle must not be ridden
with the sidestand down, or if the
sidestand
moved up (or does not stay up), oth-
erwise the sidestand could contact
the ground and distract the opera-
tor, resulting in a possible loss of
control. Yamaha's ignition circuit
cut-off system has been designed to
assist the operator in fulfilling the
responsibility of raising the side-
stand before starting off. Therefore,
check this system regularly as de-
scribed below and have a Yamaha
dealer repair it if it does not function
properly.
