Push the key into the main switch, and
then turn it to “OFF” while still pushing
it.

(Parking)
The steering is locked, and the tail-
lights, license plate light and auxiliary
lights are on. The hazard lights and turn
signal lights can be turned on, but all
other electrical systems are off. The
key can be removed.
The steering must be locked before the
key can be turned to“”.
NOTICE

Do not use the parking position for
an extended length of time, other-
wise the battery may discharge.

3 Stop the vehicle when it is safe to do so,
and park it away from traffic. Have a
Yamaha dealer check the YCC-S.
TIPIn order to be able to move the vehicle
after it has stopped, if shifting is impos-
sible using the hand shift lever and shift
pedal, proceed as follows:
Place the vehicle on the centerstand,
then while rotating the rear wheel, push
the shift pedal rod and pivot forward un-
til the transmission is in the neutral po-
sition.
The electrical circuit of the indicators
and the warning light can be checked
by turning the key to “ON”. The indica-
tors and the warning light should come
on for a few seconds, and then go off.
If an indicator or the warning light does
not come on initially when the key is
turned to “ON”, or if an indicator or the
warning light remains on, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical cir-
cuit.
EAU39502
ABS warning light“”
If this warning light comes on or flashes
while riding, the ABS may not work cor-
rectly. If this occurs, have a Yamaha
dealer check the system as soon as
possible. (See page 3-19.)
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 lightcomes 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.
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

Engine stop switch“/”
Set this switch to“” before starting
the engine. Set this switch to“” to
stop the engine in case of an emergen-
cy, such as when the vehicle overturns
or when the throttle cable is stuck.

ing instructions prior to starting the en-
gine.

The engine trouble warning light and
ABS warning light will come on when
the key is turned to “ON” and the start
switch is pushed, but this does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
EAU12733
Hazard switch“”
With the key in the “ON” or“” posi-
tion, use this switch to turn on the haz-
ard lights (simultaneous flashing of all
turn signal lights).
The hazard lights are used in case of
an emergency or to warn other drivers
when your vehicle is stopped where it
might be a traffic hazard.NOTICE
ECA10061
Do not use the hazard lights for an
extended length of time with the en-
gine not running, otherwise the bat-
tery may discharge.
EAU40381
Hand shift control switch
The hand shift control switch enables
shifting gears with the hand shift lever.
When the switch is set to enable hand
shifting, the hand shift control indicator
light will come on.TIP

The shift pedal can be used to shift
gears whether the hand shift lever
is enabled or not.


When the main switch is turned to
“OFF”, the hand shifting mode will
automatically be disabled. Press
1. Hand shift lever
2. Hand shift control switch
3. Hand shift control indicator light

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 areeven 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
ECA16120
Keep any type of magnets (including
magnetic pick-up tools, magnetic
screwdrivers, etc.) away from the
front and rear wheel hubs, otherwise
the magnetic rotors equipped in the
wheel hubs may be damaged, result-
ing in improper performance of the
ABS system.

Adjusting the shock absorber
assembly This shock absorber assembly is
equipped with a spring preload adjust-
ing lever and a rebound damping force
adjusting knob.NOTICE
ECA16570
To avoid damaging the mechanism,
do not attempt to move beyond the
maximum or minimum settings.Spring preload
For riding solo, move the spring preload
adjusting lever in direction (a). For
riding with a passenger, move the
spring preload adjusting lever in direc-
tion (b).Rebound damping force
To increase the rebound damping force
and thereby harden the rebound damp-
ing, turn the adjusting knob in direction
(a). To decrease the rebound damping
force and thereby soften the rebound
damping, turn the adjusting knob in di-
rection (b).
TIPTo obtain a precise adjustment, it is ad-
visable to check the actual total number
of clicks or turns of the damping force
adjusting mechanism. This adjustment
range may not exactly match the spec-
ifications listed due to small differences
in production.
