Yamaha XSR700 - Owner's Manual > Operation and important riding points
Read the Owner's Manual carefully to become familiar with all controls. If there is a control or function you do not understand, ask your Yamaha dealer.
WARNING
Failure to familiarize yourself with the controls can lead to loss of control, which could cause an accident or injury.
TIP
This model is equipped with:
- a lean angle sensor. This sensor
stops the engine in case of a vehicle
turnover. If this happens, the
engine trouble warning light will
come on, but this is not a malfunction.
Turn the vehicle power off and then back on again to cancel the warning light. Failing to do so will prevent the engine from starting even though the engine will crank when pushing the start switch.
- an engine auto-stop system. The engine stops automatically if left idling for 20 minutes. If the engine stops, simply push the start switch to restart the engine.
