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.

The built-in sidestand switch is part of
the ignition circuit cut-off system, which

in a possible loss of control.

the operator in fulfilling the respon-
sibility of raising the sidestand be-

this system regularly as described
below and have a Yamaha dealer re-
