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.)

3Make sure that the appropriate setting
on the adjusting dial is aligned with the
arrow mark on the clutch lever.
The clutch lever is equipped with a
clutch switch, which is part of the igni-
tion circuit cut-off system. (See page
3-33.)
EAU12870
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

the unified brake system is en-
abled, but this does not indicate a
malfunction.
The unified brake system does not
function until the vehicle starts
moving.
After coming to a stop while apply-
ing the brake lever, the unified
brake system is still enabled. As
further squeezing of the brake le-
ver will not increase the braking
power of the rear brake, apply the
rear brake should further braking
power be necessary (such as
when parking on a slope).
The unified brake system disables
after the brake lever is released.
The brake system then reverts to
the conventional type.
When the vehicle starts moving,
the unified brake system is re-en-
abled.
The unified brake system does not
function when the brake pedal is
applied alone or before the brake
lever is applied.
The brake lever is equipped with a
brake lever position adjusting dial. To
adjust the distance between the brake
lever and the handlebar grip, turn the
adjusting dial while holding the lever
pushed away from the handlebar grip.
Make sure that the appropriate setting
on the adjusting dial is aligned with
the
“” mark on the brake lever.
EAU49481
Brake pedal The brake pedal is on the right side of
the motorcycle. To apply the rear
brake, press down on the brake pedal.TIPResistance and vibration may be felt in
the brake pedal while the front brake is
being applied and the unified brake
system is enabled, but this does not in-
dicate a malfunction.
