g
fuel con-
sumption
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follow-
ing tips to reduce fuel consumption:
Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
Avoid high engine speeds with no
load on the engine.
Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length
of time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traf-
fic lights or at railroad crossings).

Parkin
g
When parking, turn the vehicle power
off, and then turn the smart key off.
TIP
Even when the vehicle is parked in a lo-
cation partitioned by a fence or the
glass window of a shop, if the smart
key is within operating range, other
people will be able to start the engine
and operate the vehicle. Please turn
the smart key off when leaving the ve-
hicle. (See page 4-4.)
If the sidestand is lowered when the
engine is running, the engine will stop
and the beeper will sound for approxi-
mately 1 minute. To stop the beeper,
turn the vehicle power off or raise the
sidestand.
TIP
Before leaving the vehicle, be sure
to turn the main switch to “OFF”
or “ ”. Otherwise, the battery may
discharge.
The sidestand alarm beeper can
be set to not activate. Please con-
tact your Yamaha dealer.
