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

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
problems in the immobilizer system cir-
cuits. (See page 3-23 for an explana-
tion of the self-diagnosis device.)
EAU55380
Cruise control system This model is equipped with a cruise
control system designed to maintain a
set cruising speed.
The cruise control system operates
only when riding in 3rd gear at speeds
between about 50 km/h (31 mi/h) and
160 km/h (100 mi/h), or 4th or 5th gear
at speeds between about 50 km/h (31
mi/h) and 180 km/h (112 mi/h).
WARNING
EWA16340
●
Improper use of the cruise con-
trol system may result in loss of
control, which could lead to an
accident. Do not activate the
cruise control system in heavy
traffic, poor weather conditions,
or among winding, slippery,
hilly, rough or gravel roads.
●
When traveling uphill or down-
hill, the cruise control system
may not be able to maintain the
set cruising speed.
●
To prevent accidentally activat-
ing the cruise control system,
turn it off when not in use. Make
sure that the cruise control sys-
tem indicator light “ ” is off.

Activating and setting the cruise
control system
1. Push the cruise control power switch “ ” located on the left han-
dlebar. The cruise control system
indicator light “ ” will come on.
2. Push the “SET–” side of the cruise control setting switch to activate
the cruise control system. Your
current traveling speed will be-
come the set cruising speed. The
cruise control setting indicator light
“SET” will come on.
TIPWhen the shift down indicator light “ ”
is flashing, the cruise control system
cannot be activated.Adjusting the set cruising speed
While the cruise control system is oper-
ating, push the “RES+” side of the
cruise control setting switch to increase
the set cruising speed or the “SET–”
side to decrease the set speed.TIPPushing the setting switch once will
change the speed in increments of ap-
proximately 2.0 km/h (1.2 mi/h). Hold- ing the “RES+” or “SET–” side of the
cruise control setting switch down will
increase or decrease the speed contin-
uously until the switch is released.
You can also manually increase your
traveling speed using the throttle. After
you have accelerated, you can set a
new cruising speed by pushing the
“SET–” side of the setting switch. If you
do not set a new cruising speed, when
you return the throttle grip, the vehicle
will decelerate to the previously set
cruising speed.
Deactivating the cruise control sys-
tem
Perform one of the following operations
to cancel the set cruising speed. The
“SET” indicator light will go off.●

●
Operate the hand shift lever.
●
Operate the shift pedal.
Push the power switch to turn off the
cruise control system. The “ ” indica-
tor light and the “SET” indicator light will
go off.
TIPTraveling speed decreases as soon as
the cruise control system is deactivat-
ed; unless the throttle grip is turned.Using the resume function
Push the “RES+” side of the cruise con-
trol setting switch to reactivate the
cruise control system. The traveling speed will return to the previously set
cruising speed. The “SET” indicator
light will come on.
WARNING
EWA16350
It is dangerous to use the resume
function when the previously set
cruising speed is too high for cur-
rent conditions.TIP●
The resume function operates
when riding in 3rd gear at speeds
between about 50 km/h (31 mi/h)
and 160 km/h (100 mi/h), or 4th or
5th gear at speeds between about
50 km/h (31 mi/h) and 180 km/h
(112 mi/h).
●
Pushing the power switch while
the system is operating will turn
the system off completely and
erase the previously set cruising
speed. You will not be able to use
the resume function until a new
cruising speed has been set.
Automatic deactivation of the cruisecontrol systemThe cruise control system for this mod-
el is electronically controlled and is
linked with the other control systems.
The cruise control system will automat-
ically become deactivated under the
following conditions:●
The cruise control system is not
able to maintain the set cruising
speed.
●
Wheel slip or wheel spin is detect-
ed. (If the traction control system
has not been turned off, the trac-
tion control system will work.)
●
The start/engine stop switch is set
to the “ ” position.
●
The engine stalls.
●
The sidestand is lowered.
When traveling with a set cruising
speed, if the cruise control system is
deactivated under the above condi-
tions, the “ ” indicator light will go off
and the “SET” indicator light will flash
for 4 seconds, and then go off.
When not traveling with a set cruising
speed, if the start/engine stop switch is
set to the “ ” position, the engine

stalls, or the sidestand is lowered, then
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.
WARNING
EWA16360
If the cruise control system is not
working correctly, the “ ” indicator
light will flash. If this occurs, turn the
cruise control system off and have a
Yamaha dealer check it.NOTICE

If the display indicates an error
code, the vehicle should be checked
as soon as possible in order to avoid
engine damage.
