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

33. Use the select switch to select thedesired preload setting pictogram.
Select the suitable setting from the
following 4 pictograms according
to your load condition. While the preload is being adjust-
ed, the information display will
show a group of dots moving in a
circle. Once the selected picto-
gram returns, the preload adjust-
ment is complete.While the preload is being adjusted, the
information display may change as fol-
lows.
●
If the key is turned to “OFF” or the
engine is stopped while the pre-
load is being set, the following pre-
load setting pictogram will flash to
alert you that the current preload
setting does not match the picto-
gram. If this occurs, adjust the pre-
load again.
●
If the vehicle starts moving, the fol-
lowing preload setting pictogram
will flash to alert you that the cur-
rent preload setting does not
match the pictogram. If this occurs,
stop the vehicle and adjust the pre-
load again.

EAU15951
Read the Owner’s Manual carefully to
become familiar with all controls. If
there is a control or function you do not
understand, ask your Yamaha dealer.
WARNING
EWA10271
Failure to familiarize yourself with
the controls can lead to loss of con-
trol, which could cause an accident
or injury.
EAU47150
TIPThis model is equipped with:●
a lean angle sensor to stop the en-
gine in case of a turnover. In this
case, the multi-function meter unit
indicates error code 30, but this is
not a malfunction. Turn the key to
“OFF” and then to “ON” to clear the
error code. Failing to do so will pre-
vent the engine from starting even
though the engine will crank when
pushing the start switch.
●
an engine auto-stop system. The
engine stops automatically if left
idling for 20 minutes. In this case,
the multi-function meter unit indi-
cates error code 70, but this is not
a malfunction. Push the start
switch to clear the error code and
to restart the engine.
EAU55471
Starting the engine
WARNING
EWA16410
Always apply the front or rear brake
while the main switch is in the “ON”
position and the transmission is in
gear. Otherwise, the vehicle may
suddenly start to move when the en-
gine is started, causing loss of con-
trol and possibly an accident.In order for the ignition circuit cut-off
system to enable starting, one of the
following conditions must be met:●
The front or rear brake is applied
with the transmission in the neutral
position whether the sidestand is
up or down.
●
The front or rear brake is applied
with the transmission in gear and
the sidestand is up.
See page 3-47 for more informa-
tion.
1. Turn the key to “ON” and make sure that the start/engine stop
switch is set to “ ”.
The following warning lights and
indicator lights should come on for
a few seconds, then go off.

If a warning or indicator light does
not come on initially when the key is
turned to “ON”, or if a warning or in-
dicator light remains on, see page
3-4 for the corresponding warning
and indicator light circuit check.
The ABS warning light should
come on when the key is turned to
“ON”, and then go off after travel-
ing at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h)
or higher.
NOTICE

If the ABS warning light does not
come on and then go off as ex-
plained above, see page 3-4 for the
warning light circuit check.2. Shift the transmission into the neu-tral position. The neutral indicator
light should come on. If not, ask a
Yamaha dealer to check the elec- trical circuit.
3. Start the engine by pushing the “ ” side of the start/engine
stop switch with the front or rear
brake applied.
If the engine fails to start, release
the start/engine stop switch, wait a
few seconds, and then try again.
Each starting attempt should be as

Shifting Shifting gears lets you control the
amount of engine power available for
starting off, accelerating, climbing hills,
etc.The gears can be shifted using either
the shift pedal or the hand shift lever.
Refer to page 3-27 for an explanation of
the YCC-S system, to page 3-28 for the
shift pedal operation, and to page 3-28
for the hand shift lever operation.
The gear positions are shown in the il-
lustration.
TIP●
To shift the transmission into the
neutral position, press the shift
pedal down repeatedly, or push
the “ ” side of the hand shift lever
repeatedly until the neutral indica-
tor light comes on.
●
When shifting from neutral to 1st
gear, the engine speed must be
lower than approximately 1300
r/min and the sidestand must be
up.
●
Shifting up is impossible if the en-
gine speed is too low.
●
Shifting down is impossible if the
engine speed is too high.
●
To avoid damaging the YCC-S
clutch, the shift down indicator light
flashes when it is necessary to
downshift. If this occurs, downshift
until the indicator light stops flash-
ing.
●
When the stop mode function is
activated, the transmission auto-
matically shifts down when coming
to a stop.
NOTICE
ECA17950
Even with the transmission in the
neutral position, do not coast for
long periods of time with the engine
off, and do not tow the vehicle for
long distances. The transmission is
properly lubricated only when the
engine is running. Inadequate lubri-
cation may damage the transmis-
sion.

Engine overheating
WARNING
EWAT1040
●
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may be
blown out under pressure, which could cause serious injury. Be sure to wait until the engine has cooled.
●
Place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radiator cap, and then slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the de-
tent to allow any residual pressure to escape. When the hissing sound has stopped, press down on the cap
while turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.
TIPIf coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided that it is changed to the recommended coolant
as soon as possible.
Wait until the
engine has cooled.
Check the coolant level in the
reservoir and radiator.
The coolant level
is OK.The coolant level is low.
Check the cooling system
for leakage.
Have a Yamaha dealer checkand repair the cooling system.Add coolant. (See TIP.)
Start the engine. If the engine overheats again,
have a
Yamaha dealer check
and repair the cooling system.
There is
leakage.
There is
no leakage.
