TIP●
The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test each time the vehicle first
starts off after the key is turned to
“ON” and the vehicle has traveled
at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or
higher. During this test, a “clicking”
noise can be heard from under the
seat, and if the brake lever or
brake pedal is even slightly ap-
plied, a vibration can be felt at the
lever and pedal, but these do not
indicate a malfunction.
●
This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience the
pulsation 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 equippedin the wheel hubs may be damaged,
resulting in improper performance
of the ABS and the unified brake
system.
EAU54270
Traction control system The traction control system helps main-
tain traction when accelerating on slip-
pery surfaces, such as unpaved or wet
roads. If sensors detect that the rear
wheel is starting to slip (uncontrolled
spinning), the traction control system
assists by regulating engine power as
needed until traction is restored. The
“TCS” indicator/warning light flashes to
let the rider know that traction control
has engaged.TIPThe rider may also notice slight chang-
es in engine and exhaust sounds when
the traction control system is 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.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the
traction control system automatically
turns on.
The traction control system can be
turned on or off manually only when the
key is in the “ON” position and the mo-
torcycle is stopped.TIPTurn the traction control system off to
help free the rear wheel if the motorcy-
cle gets stuck in mud, sand, or other
soft surfaces.NOTICE
ECA16800
Use only the specified tires. (See
page 6-19.) Using different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controlling tire rotation
accurately.
Turning on/off the traction control
system
WARNING
EWA15440
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
making any setting changes to the
traction control system. Changing
settings while riding can distract the
operator and increase the risk of an
accident.To turn off the traction control system,
push the “TCS” button on the multi-
function meter unit for at least 2 sec-
onds. The “TCS” indicator/warning light
will come on.
To turn on the traction control system,
push the “TCS” button again. The
“TCS” indicator/warning light will go off.
Resetting
The traction control system will be dis-
abled in the following conditions:
●
The rear wheel is rotated with the
centerstand down and the key in
the “ON” position.
●
Either the front wheel or rear wheel
comes off the ground while riding.
●
Excessive rear wheel spinning.
If the traction control system has been
disabled, both the “TCS” indica-
tor/warning light and the engine trouble
warning light come on.

3To reset the traction control system
Turn the key to “OFF”. Wait at least 1
second, then turn the key back to “ON”.
The “TCS” indicator/warning light
should go off and the system will be en-
abled. The engine trouble warning light
should go off after the motorcycle
reaches at least 20 km/h (12 mi/h). If
the “TCS” indicator/warning light and/or
engine trouble warning light still remain
on after resetting, the motorcycle may
still be ridden; however, have a
Yamaha dealer check the motorcycle as soon as possible.

Fuel Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10881
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, follow
these instructions.1. Before refueling, turn off the en-gine and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters and
clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler
hole. Stop filling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the filler
tube. Because fuel expands when
it heats up, heat from the engine or
the sun can cause fuel to spill out
of the fuel tank. 3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately. NOTICE: Immediately wipe
off spilled fuel with a clean, dry,
soft cloth, since fuel may deteri-
orate painted surfaces or plastic
parts.
[ECA10071]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel tank cap.
WARNING
EWA15151
Gasoline is poisonous and can
cause injury or death. Handle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gaso-
line by mouth. If you should swallow
some gasoline or inhale a lot of gas-
oline vapor, or get some gasoline in
your eyes, see your doctor immedi- ately. If gasoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap and water. If gaso-
line spills on your clothing, change
your clothes.
EAU13322
NOTICE
ECA11400
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause severe
damage to internal engine parts,
such as the valves and piston rings,
as well as to the exhaust system.Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use regular unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
95 or higher. If knocking (or pinging) oc-
curs, use a gasoline of a different brand
or premium unleaded fuel. Use of un-
leaded fuel will extend spark plug life
and reduce maintenance costs.

2. Maximum fuel level
Recommended fuel:
Regular unleaded gasoline only
Fuel tank capacity: 25.0 L (6.61 US gal, 5.50 Imp.gal)
Fuel reserve amount: 5.5 L (1.45 US gal, 1.21 Imp.gal)

Fuel tank breather/overflow
hose Before operating the motorcycle:●
Check the fuel tank breather/over-
flow hose connection.
●
Check the fuel tank breather/over-
flow hose for cracks or damage,
and replace it if damaged.
●
Make sure that the end of the fuel
tank breather/overflow hose is not
blocked, and clean it if necessary.
●
Make sure that the end of the fuel
tank breather/overflow hose is po-
sitioned inside of the clamp.
EAU13445
Catalytic converters This vehicle is equipped with catalytic
converters in the exhaust system.
WARNING
EWA10862
The exhaust system is hot after op-
eration. To prevent a fire hazard or
burns:●
Do not park the vehicle near
possible fire hazards such as
grass or other materials that
easily burn.
●
Park the vehicle in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch the hot
exhaust system.
●
Make sure that the exhaust sys-
tem has cooled down before do-
ing any maintenance work.
●
Do not allow the engine to idle
more than a few minutes. Long
idling can cause a build-up of
heat.
NOTICE
ECA10701
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause unre-
pairable damage to the catalytic
converter.
