Yamaha YZF-R125 Owners Manual: 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
the ignition circuit cut-off system, which
cuts the ignition in certain situations.
WARNING
The vehicle must not be ridden with
the sidestand down, or if the sidestand
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 responsibility
of raising the sidestand before
starting off. Therefore, check
this system regularly as described below and have a Yamaha dealer repair
it if it does not function properly.
