EAU40472
YCC-S system This vehicle features the YCC-S
(Yamaha Chip Controlled-Shift) sys-
tem.
The basic function of this system allows
the rider to shift gears without the use of
a clutch lever. Furthermore, a shift lever
is equipped on the handlebar, allowing
the rider to choose to shift gears either
with the shift pedal or by hand.
When the engine is started and the shift
pedal or the shift lever is moved, a sig-
nal is sent to the MCU (Motor Control
Unit) which disengages the clutch, then
the shift is made. The MCU engages
the clutch once the engine is running at
the proper speed. Clutch engagement
is controlled optimally by the MCU ac-
cording to engine r/min, engine require-
ments, and riding conditions. See
“Handlebar switches” (page 3-15) and
OPERATION AND IMPORTANT
RIDING POINTS (page 5-1) for further
explanation of this system.
TIPThis is not an automatic transmission,
only the clutch system is automatic.The gears must be shifted by the rider.
EAU10975
Immobilizer system This vehicle is equipped with an immo-
bilizer system to help prevent theft by

lowing:
a code re-registering key (with a
red bow)
two standard keys (with a black
bow) that can be re-registered with
new codes
a transponder (which is installed in
the code re-registering key)
an immobilizer unit
an ECU (Electronic Control Unit)

TIPBe sure to turn the key to “ON” beforeusing the select and reset buttons.Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the select button switches the
display between the odometer mode
“ODO” and the tripmeter modes “Trip 1”
and “Trip 2” in the following order:
ODO → Trip 1 → Trip 2 → ODO
TIPWhen selecting “Trip 1” or “Trip 2”, thedisplay flashes for five seconds.
When approximately 5.5 L (1.45 US
gal, 1.21 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the display will automatically
change to the fuel reserve tripmeter
mode “Trip F” and start counting the
distance traveled from that point. In thatcase, pushing the select button switch-
es the display between the various trip-
meter and odometer modes in the
following order:
Trip F → ODO → Trip 1 → Trip 2 → Trip
F
TIPWhen selecting “Trip 1”, “Trip 2” or “TripF”, the display flashes for five seconds.
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the select button, and then push the
select button for at least one second
while the display is flashing. If you do
not reset the fuel reserve tripmeter
manually, it will reset itself automatical-
ly and the display will return to the prior
mode after refueling and traveling 5 km
(3 mi).

Engine break-in There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1600 km (1000 mi). For
this reason, you should read the follow-
ing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
tle operation or any condition that might
result in engine overheating must be
avoided.
EAU17123
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 4500
r/min. NOTICE: After 1000 km (600
mi) of operation, the engine oil and
final gear oil must be changed, and
the oil filter cartridge or element re-
placed.
[ECA10332]
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 5400
r/min.
1600 km (1000 mi) and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.NOTICE
ECA10310
Keep the engine speed out of
the tachometer red zone.
If any engine trouble should oc-
cur during the engine break-in
period, immediately have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehi-cle.
EAU40582
Parking When parking, stop the engine by turn-
ing the main switch to “OFF”, and then
remove the key.TIPWhen the main switch is turned to
“OFF” and the transmission is in gear,the rear wheel cannot be moved.
WARNING
EWA14522
Always stop the engine using
the main switch. When the en-
gine stop switch has been used
in an emergency, be sure to ap-
ply the front or rear brake while
the main switch is still on, as the
clutch automatically disengag-
es a few seconds after the en-
gine is turned off, and the rear
wheel will move freely.
Since the engine and exhaust
system can become very hot,
park in a place where pedestri-
ans or children are not likely to
touch them and be burned.
