Read the Owner's Manual carefully to become familiar with all controls. If there is a control or function you do not understand, ask your Yamaha dealer.
WARNING
Failure to familiarize yourself with
the controls can lead to loss of control,
which could cause an accident
or injury.
TIP
This model is equipped with a lean angle
sensor to stop the engine in case of
a turnover. To start the engine after a
turnover, be sure to turn the main
switch to "OFF" and then to "ON". Failing
to do so will prevent the engine from
starting even though the engine will
crank when pushing the start switch.
