Sidestand
The sidestand is located on the left side
of the frame. Raise the sidestand or
lower it with your foot while holding the
scooter 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.)
EW000044
The scooter 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 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
responsibility of raising 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.
