SAFETY INFORMATION

1tor and may limit control ability,
therefore, such accessories are
not recommended.
●
Use caution when adding electri-
cal accessories. If electrical acces-
sories exceed the capacity of the
motorcycle’s electrical system, an
electric failure could result, which
could cause a dangerous loss of
lights or engine power.
Aftermarket Tires and Rims
The tires and rims that came with your
motorcycle were designed to match the
performance capabilities and to provide
the best combination of handling, brak-
ing, and comfort. Other tires, rims, siz-
es, and combinations may not be
appropriate. Refer to page 6-18 for tire
specifications and more information on
replacing your tires.
Transporting the Motorcycle
Be sure to observe following instruc-
tions before transporting the motorcy-
cle in another vehicle.
●
Remove all loose items from the
motorcycle.
●
Check that the fuel cock (if
equipped) is in the “OFF” position
and that there are no fuel leaks.
●
Point the front wheel straight
ahead on the trailer or in the truck
bed, and choke it in a rail to pre-
vent movement.
●
Shift the transmission in gear (for
models with a manual transmis-
sion).
●
Secure the motorcycle with tie-
downs or suitable straps that are
attached to solid parts of the mo-
torcycle, such as the frame or up-
per front fork triple clamp (and not,
for example, to rubber-mounted
handlebars or turn signals, or parts
that could break). Choose the lo-
cation for the straps carefully so
the straps will not rub against
painted surfaces during transport.
●
The suspension should be com-
pressed somewhat by the tie-
downs, if possible, so that the mo-
torcycle will not bounce excessive-
ly during transport.

ABS warning light “ ”
In normal operation, the ABS warning
light comes on when the key is turned
to “ON”, and goes off after traveling at a
speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or higher.
If the ABS warning light:●
does not come on when the key is
turned to “ON”
●
comes on or flashes while riding
●
does not go off after traveling at a
speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or higher
The ABS may not work correctly. If any
of the above occurs, have a Yamaha
dealer check the system as soon as
possible. (See page 3-29 for an expla-
nation of the ABS.)WARNING
EWA16040
If the ABS warning light does not go
off after traveling at a speed of 10
km/h (6 mi/h) or higher, or if the
warning light comes on or flashes while riding, the brake system re-
verts to conventional braking. If ei-
ther of the above occurs, or if the
warning light does not come on at
all, use extra caution to avoid possi-
ble wheel lock during emergency
braking. Have a Yamaha dealer
check the brake system and electri-
cal circuits as soon as possible.
TIPIf the start switch is pushed while the
engine is running, the ABS warning
light will come on, but this is not a mal-
function.
EAU54260
Traction control system indica-
tor/warning light “TCS”
This indicator/warning light flashes
when the traction control system en-
gages and comes on when the system
is turned off.
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.
If the traction control system becomes
disabled while riding, the indica-
tor/warning light and engine trouble
warning light come on. (See page 3-30
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 3-31.

the “ ” indicator light will go off (the
“SET” indicator light will not flash).
If the cruise control system is automati-
cally deactivated, please stop and con-
firm that your vehicle is in good
operating condition.
Before using the cruise control system
again, activate it using the power
switch.
TIPIn some cases, the cruise control sys-
tem may not be able to maintain the set
cruising speed when the vehicle is trav-
eling uphill or downhill.●
When the vehicle is traveling up-
hill, the actual traveling speed may
become lower than the set cruising
speed. If this occurs, accelerate to
the desired traveling speed using
the throttle.
●
When the vehicle is traveling
downhill, the actual traveling
speed may become higher than
the set cruising speed. If this oc-
curs, the setting switch cannot be
used to adjust the set cruising
speed. To reduce the traveling speed, apply the brakes. When the
brakes are applied, the cruise con-
trol system will become deactivat-
ed.
Self-diagnosis device
The cruise control system will also be-
come deactivated when an irregularity
with any of the vehicle systems is de-
tected. The “SET” indicator light will go
off and the “ ” indicator light will flash.
You will not be able to use the cruise
control system while the engine trouble
warning light or the YCC-S system
warning light is on, or while the cruise
control system is malfunctioning.

This model is equipped with a self-diag-
nosis device for various electrical cir-
cuits. If a problem is detected in any of
those circuits, the engine trouble warn-
ing light will come on and the informa-
tion display will indicate an error code.
If the information display indicates any
error codes, note the code number, and
then have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle.
The self-diagnosis device also detects
problems in the immobilizer system cir-
cuits.
If a problem is detected in the immobi-
lizer system circuits, the immobilizer
system indicator light will flash and the
information display will indicate an error
code when the key is turned to “ON”.
TIPIf the information display indicates error
code 52, this could be caused by tran-
sponder interference. If this error ap-
pears, try the following.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.NOTICE
ECA11590
If the display indicates an error
code, the vehicle should be checked
as soon as possible in order to avoid
engine damage.

Adjusting the front and rear
suspension This model is equipped with an elec-
tronically adjustable suspension sys-
tem. The preload of the rear shock
absorber and the damping forces of
both the front fork and rear shock ab-
sorber can be adjusted.
WARNING
EWA12422
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
making any setting changes to the
multi-function meter unit. Changing
settings while riding can distract the
operator and increase the risk of an
accident.Preload
When riding with luggage or a passen-
ger, use the preload adjusting function
to adjust the suspension system to
match the load. There are 4 preload
settings.TIP●
The preload adjusting function will
appear only when the engine is
running.
●
Changing the preload setting will
also adjust the front and rear sus-
pension damping forces accord-
ingly. See “Damping force” on
page 3-44 for more information.
●
About cold temperature operation: When using the preload adjust- ing function, there should be no
weight on the vehicle.
When using the preload adjust- ing function at ambient tempera-
tures near or below 0 °C (32 °F),
to protect the preload adjusting
function motor, the electronically
adjustable suspension system
warning light may come on.
The suspension will still operate as normal, only the preload ad-
justing function cannot be used.
To reset the electronically ad- justable suspension system
warning light, wait approximate-
ly 6 minutes and then turn the
key to “OFF” or immediately turn
the key to “OFF” and then wait 6
minutes. If the electronically adjustable
suspension system warning
light remains on, have a
Yamaha dealer check the sus-
pension system.
To adjust the preload1. Turn the key to “ON”, start the en- gine, and then shift the transmis-
sion into neutral.
2. Push the menu switch “MENU” to switch the function display to the
