Engine trouble warning light“”
This warning light comes on or flashes
if a problem is detected in the electrical
circuit monitoring the engine. If this oc-
curs, have a Yamaha dealer check the
self-diagnosis system. (See page 3-14
for an explanation of the self-diagnosis
device.)
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by turning the key to
“ ON ”. The warning light should come
on for a few seconds, and then go off.
If the warning light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ON ”,
or if the warning light remains on, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.
EAU49760
ABS warning light “”
If this warning light comes on or flashes
while riding, the ABS and the unified
brake system may not work correctly. If
this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer
check the system as soon as possible.
(See page 3-20.)
WARNING
EWA10081
If the ABS warning light comes on or
flashes while riding, the brake sys-
tem reverts to conventional braking.
Therefore, be careful not to cause
the wheels to lock during emergen-
cy braking. If the warning light
comes on or flashes while riding,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
brake system as soon as possible.The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by turning the key to
“ ON ”. The warning light should come
on for a few seconds, and then go off.
If the warning light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ON ”,
or if the warning light remains on, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.
EAU49401
Traction control system indica-
tor/warning light “TCS ”
This indicator/warning light flashes
when the traction control system en-
gages. The electrical circuit of the light can be
checked by turning the key to
“ON ”.
The light should come on for a few sec-
onds, and then go off.
If the light does not come on initially
when the key is turned to “ON ”, or if the
light remains on, have a Yamaha deal-
er check the electrical circuit.
When the switch is set to “TCS ” modes
“ 1 ” or “ 2”, and the traction control sys-
tem is operating, the indicator light
flashes.
If the traction control system disables
while riding, “TCS ” “Off ” is displayed,
and the indicator/warning light and en-
gine trouble warning light come on.
(See page 3-21 for an explanation of
the traction control system.)

EAU38624
Immobilizer system indicator light
The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked by turning the key
to “ON ”. The indicator light should
come on for a few seconds, and then
go off.
If the indicator light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ON ”,
or if the indicator light remains on, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit. When the key is turned to
“OFF ” and 30
seconds have passed, the indicator
light will start flashing indicating the im-
mobilizer system is enabled. After 24
hours have passed, the indicator light
will stop flashing, however the immobi-
lizer system is still enabled.
The self-diagnosis device also detects
problems in the immobilizer system cir-
cuits. (See page 3-14 for an explana-
tion of the self-diagnosis device.)

play
This display indicates which traction
control system mode has been select-
ed: “
1”, “2 ” or “ Off”. For more details on
the modes and on how to select them,
refer to page 3-21. Self-diagnosis device
This model is equipped with a self-diag-
nosis device for various electrical cir-
cuits.
If a problem is detected in the immobi-
lizer system circuits, the immobilizer
system indicator light flashes and the
display indicates an error code.
If a problem is detected in any other cir-
cuit, the engine trouble warning light
comes on and the display indicates an
error code.
TIPIf the display indicates immobilizer sys-
tem circuit error code 52, this could be
caused by transponder interference. If
this error code appears, try following
the procedure below.1. Use the code re-registering key to
start the engine.TIPMake sure there are no other immobi-
lizer keys close to the main switch, and
do not keep more than one immobilizer
key on the same key ring! Immobilizer
system keys may cause signal interfer-
ence, which may prevent the engine
from starting.2. If the engine starts, turn it off andtry starting the engine with the
standard keys.
3. If one or both of the standard keys do not start the engine, take the
vehicle, the code re-registering
key and both standard keys to a
Yamaha dealer and have the stan-
dard keys re-registered.

Clutch lever The clutch lever is located at the left
handlebar grip. To disengage the
clutch, pull the lever toward the handle-
bar grip. To engage the clutch, release
the lever. The lever should be pulled
rapidly and released slowly for smooth
clutch operation.

lever and the handlebar grip, turn the
adjusting dial while holding the lever
pushed away from the handlebar grip.1. Clutch lever

Shift pedal The shift pedal is located on the left
side of the engine and is used in com-
bination with the clutch lever when
shifting the gears of the 6-speed con-
stant-mesh transmission equipped on
this motorcycle.
EAU49515
Brake lever The brake lever is located at the right
handlebar grip. To apply the front
brake, pull the lever toward the handle-
bar grip.
This model is equipped with a unified
brake system.
When pulling the brake lever, the front
brake and a portion of the rear brake
are applied. For full braking perfor-
mance, apply both the brake lever and
the brake pedal simultaneously.
The unified brake system is monitored
by an ECU, which disables unified
braking and resumes conventional
braking if a malfunction occurs.
WARNING
EWA15521
The unified brake system does not
shorten the braking distance. There-
fore, always keep a sufficient dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead.TIP

Resistance and vibration may be
felt in the brake pedal while the
front brake is being applied and

ABS The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con-
trol system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently. The ABS is
monitored by an ECU, which will have
recourse to manual braking if a mal-
function occurs.
WARNING
EWA10090


The ABS performs best on long
braking distances.


On certain (rough or gravel)
roads, the braking distance may
be longer with than without the
ABS. Therefore, always keep a
sufficient distance to the vehicle
ahead to match the riding
speed.
TIP

The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test for a few seconds each
time the vehicle first starts off after
the key was turned to “ON ”. During
this test, a “ clicking” noise can be
heard from under the seat, and if
the brake lever or brake pedal are even slightly applied, a vibration
can be felt at the lever and pedal,
but these do not indicate a mal-
function.


When the ABS is activated, the
brakes are operated in the usual
way. A pulsating action may be felt
at the brake lever or brake pedal,
but this does not indicate a mal-
function.


This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience the
pulsating at the brake lever or
brake pedal when the ABS is oper-
ating. However, special tools are
required, so please consult your
Yamaha dealer when performing
this test.
NOTICE
ECA16830
Keep any type of magnets (including
magnetic pick-up tools, magnetic
screwdrivers, etc.) away from the
front and rear wheel hubs; other-
wise, the magnetic rotors equipped
in the wheel hubs may be damaged,
resulting in improper performance
of the ABS and the unified brake
system.
