EAU15301
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.
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.)
WARNING
EWA10240
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
this system regularly as described
below and have a Yamaha dealer re-
pair it if it does not function proper-
ly.
EAU40522
Ignition circuit cut-off system
The ignition circuit cut-off system (com-
prising the sidestand switch and brake
light switches) has the following func-
tions.
● It prevents starting when the side-
stand is up, but neither brake is ap-
plied.
● It prevents starting when either
brake is applied, but the sidestand
is still down.
● It cuts the running engine when the
sidestand is moved down.
Periodically check the operation of the
ignition circuit cut-off system according
to the following procedure.
WARNING
EWA10260
● The vehicle must be placed on
the centerstand during this in-
spection.
● If a malfunction is noted, have a
Yamaha dealer check the sys-
tem before riding.
