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 3-15
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.
EAU51850
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 traction control system is set
to a “TCS” mode other than “OFF”, and
the traction control system 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 3-22 for an explanation of
the traction control system.)
Try to reset the traction control system
and the lights by following the proce-
dures under “Resetting” on page 3-23.
EAU11574
Shift timing indicator light
This indicator light can be set to come
on and go off at the desired engine
speeds and is used to inform the rider
when it is time to shift to the next higher
gear.
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. (See page 3-16 for a detailed
explanation of the function of this indi-
cator light and on how to set it.)

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

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

cuits. (See page 3-15 for an explana-
tion of the self-diagnosis device.)

Odometer, tripmeter, instantaneous
fuel consumption and average fuel
consumption modes Push the “SELECT” button to switch
the display between the odometer
mode “ODO”, the tripmeter modes
“TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2”, the instanta-
neous fuel consumption mode “km/L”
or “L/100 km”, and the average fuel
consumption mode “AVE_ _._ km/L” or
“AVE_ _._ L/100 km” in the following or-
der:
ODO
→ TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → km/L or
L/100 km → AVE_ _._ km/L or AVE_
_._ L/100 km → ODO
For the UK only:
Push the “SELECT” button to switch
the display between the odometer
mode “ODO”, the tripmeter modes
“TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2”, the instanta-
neous fuel consumption mode “km/L”,
“L/100 km” or “MPG”, and the average
fuel consumption mode “AVE_ _._
km/L”, “AVE_ _._ L/100 km” or “AVE_
_._ MPG” in the following order:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → km/L,
L/100 km or MPG → AVE_ _._ km/L,
AVE_ _._ L/100 km or AVE_ _._ MPG
→ ODO If the fuel level warning light comes on
(see page 3-4), the display automatical-
ly changes to the fuel reserve tripmeter
mode “TRIP F” and starts counting the
distance traveled from that point. In that
case, push the “SELECT” button to
switch the display between the various
tripmeter, odometer, instantaneous fuel
consumption and average fuel con-
sumption modes in the following order:
TRIP F
→ km/L or L/100 km → AVE_

ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → TRIP F
For the UK only:
TRIP F → km/L, L/100 km or MPG →
AVE_ _._ km/L, AVE_ _._ L/100 km or
AVE_ _._ MPG → ODO → TRIP 1 →
TRIP 2 → TRIP F
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button, and then
push the “RESET” button for at least
one second.1. Odometer/tripmeter/fuel reserve tripmeter/in- stantaneous fuel consumption/average fuel

TIP●
Even if the air intake temperature
is set to be displayed, the coolant
temperature warning light comes
on if the engine overheats.
●
When the key is turned to “ON”,
the coolant temperature is auto-
matically displayed, even if the air
intake temperature was displayed
prior to turning the key to “OFF”.
●
When the air intake temperature
display is selected, “A” is displayed
before the temperature.
Traction control system mode dis-
playThis display indicates which traction
control system mode has been select-
ed. For more details on the modes and
on how to select them, refer to page
3-22.
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.If the display indicates any error codes,
note the code number, and then have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
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

EAU51861
Traction control system The traction control system helps main-
tain traction when accelerating. If sen-
sors detect that the rear wheel is
starting to slip (uncontrolled spinning),
the traction control system assists by
regulating engine power as needed un-
til traction is restored. The traction con-
trol system indicator/warning light
flashes to let the rider know that traction
control has engaged.
WARNING
EWA15431
The traction control system is not a
substitute for riding appropriately
for the conditions. Traction control
cannot prevent loss of traction due
to excessive speed when entering
turns, when accelerating hard at a
sharp lean angle, or while braking,
and cannot prevent front wheel slip-
ping. As with any motorcycle, ap-
proach surfaces that may be
slippery with caution and avoid es-
pecially slippery surfaces.
TIP●
The traction control may engage
when the vehicle travels over a
bump.
●
The rider may notice slight chang-
es in engine and exhaust sounds
when the traction control system is
engaged.
There are six traction control system
modes and an off mode.●
“TCS” mode 1 provides for the
least traction control system as-
sist.
●
“TCS” modes 2 through 6 provide
for more traction control system
assist. Mode 6 provides the most
traction control system assist.
●
“TCS OFF” mode turns the traction
control system off. The system
may also be automatically dis-
abled in some riding conditions
(see “Resetting” on page 3-23).
When the key is turned to “ON”, the
traction control system is enabled and
the last mode selected displays in the
multi-function meter.
All traction control system modes can
be selected when the key is in the “ON”
position. Modes 1 through 6 can also
be selected when the vehicle is moving,
however the throttle grip must be com-
pletely closed. The traction control sys-
tem cannot be turned on or off while the
vehicle is moving.
NOTICE
ECA16800
Use only the specified tires. (See
page 6-18.) Using different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controlling tire rotation
accurately.
