Sidestand
The sidestand is located on the left side
of the frame. Raise the sidestand 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 situations.
(See further down for an explanation of
the ignition circuit cut-off system.)
The motorcycle must not be ridden
with the sidestand
down, or if the
sidestand
cannot
be
properly
moved up (or does not stay up), oth-
erwise the sidestand could contact
the ground and distract the opera-
tor, resulting in a possible loss of
control.

ignition
circuit
cut-off system has been designed to
assist the operator in fulfilling the
responsibility
of raising the side-
stand before starting off. Therefore,
EW000044

scribed below and have a Yamaha
dealer repair it if it does not function
properly.
