This shock absorber contains
highly pressurized nitrogen gas.
For proper handling, read and
understand the following informa-
tion before handling the shock
absorber. The manufacturer can-
not be held responsible for proper-
ty damage or personal injury that
may result from improper han-
dling.
8
Do not tamper with or attempt
to open the gas cylinder.
8
Do not subject the shock
absorber to an open flame or
other high heat sources, other-
wise it may explode due to
excessive gas pressure.

Do not deform or damage the
gas cylinder in any way, as
this will result in poor damp-
ing performance.

Always have a Yamaha dealer
service the shock absorber.

Sidestand
The sidestand is located on the left
side of the frame. Raise the side-
stand 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 situ-
ations. (See further down for an
explanation of the ignition circuit cut-
off system.)
EW000044
w
The motorcycle 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 con-
tact 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 rais-
ing 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.
