transmission is in 2nd gear or higher
when the rider stops the vehicle, the
function will automatically shift down to

WARNING
EWA15340
Do not change the D-mode while the
vehicle is moving.Using this switch changes the drive
mode to touring mode “T” or sports
mode “S”.
The throttle grip must be completely
closed in order to change the drive
mode.

while the cruise control system is oper-
ating.
EAU55490
YCC-S system This vehicle features the YCC-S
(Yamaha Chip Controlled-Shift) sys-
tem.
The basic function of this system allows
the rider to shift gears without the use of
a clutch lever. Furthermore, a hand
shift lever is equipped on the handle-
bar, allowing the rider to shift gears with
either the foot-operated shift pedal or
the hand-operated shift lever. (See
page 3-28.)
When the engine is started and the shift
pedal or the shift lever is moved, a sig-
nal is sent to the MCU (Motor Control
Unit) which disengages the clutch, the
ECU (Engine Control Unit) then adjusts
the electronic throttle valve, the gear
shift is made and then the clutch is re-
engaged once the engine is running at
the proper speed. Clutch engagement
is controlled optimally by the MCU ac-
cording to engine r/min, engine require-
ments, and riding conditions.
TIPThis is not an automatic transmission,
only the clutch system is automatic.
The gears must be shifted by the rider
except when stopping the vehicle while
the stop mode function is activated.See “Stop mode function switch” (See
page 3-26.) and OPERATION AND IM-
PORTANT RIDING POINTS (See
page 5-1.) for further explanation of this
system.

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

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.
