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

(See the following section for an expla-
nation of the ignition circuit cut-off sys-
tem.)
WARNING
The vehicle must not be ridden with
the sidestand down, or if the side-
stand 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 respon-
sibility of raising the sidestand be-
fore starting off. Therefore, check
EAU15305 this system regularly and have a
Yamaha dealer repair it if it does not
function properly.
