3system keys may cause signal interfer-
ence, which may prevent the engine
from starting.
2. If the engine starts, turn it off, and
try 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.
If the multi-function display indicates
any error codes, note the code number,
and then have a Yamaha dealer check
the vehicle.
Clock mode
To set the clock:1. Push the “SELECT” button and
“RESET” button together for at
least two seconds.
2. When the hour digits start flashing,
push the “RESET” button to set the
hours.3. Push the “SELECT” button, and
the minute digits will start flashing.
4. Push the “RESET” button to set
the minutes.
5. Push the “SELECT” button and
then release it to start the clock.Ambient temperature display
Pushing the “SELECT” button for at
least two seconds switches the clock
display to the ambient temperature dis-
play. This display shows the ambient
temperature from –10 °C to 50 °C in 1
°C increments. The temperature dis-
played may vary from the ambient tem-
perature. Pushing the “SELECT” button
for at least two seconds switches the
ambient temperature display to the
clock display.
TIP●
If the ambient temperature falls be-
low –10 °C, a lower temperature
than –10 °C will not be displayed.
●
If the ambient temperature climbs
above 50 °C, a higher temperature
than 50 °C will not be displayed.
●
The accuracy of the temperature
reading may be affected when
riding slowly (approximately under
20 km/h (12.5 mi/h)) or when
stopped at traffic signals, railroad
crossings, etc.

ABS (for ABS models) The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con-
trol system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently. The ABS
securely controls wheel lockup during
emergency braking on changing road
surfaces and under various weather
conditions, thereby maximizing tire ad-
hesion and performance while provid-
ing a smooth braking action. The ABS
is monitored by an ECU, which will
have recourse to manual braking if a
malfunction occurs.
WARNING
EWA10090
●
The ABS performs best on long
braking distances.
●
On certain (rough or gravel)
roads, the braking distance may
be longer with than without the
ABS. Therefore, always keep a
sufficient distance to the vehicle
ahead to match the riding
speed.
TIP●
The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test for a few seconds each
time the vehicle first starts off after
the key was turned to “ON”. During
this test, a “clicking” noise can be
heard from the front of the vehicle,
and if either brake lever is even
slightly applied, a vibration can be
felt at the lever, but these do not in-
dicate a malfunction.
●
When the ABS is activated, the
brakes are operated in the usual
way. A pulsating action may be felt
at the brake levers, but this does
not indicate a malfunction.
●
This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience the
pulsating at the brake levers when
the ABS is operating. However,
special tools are required, so
please consult your Yamaha deal-
er when performing this test.

WARNING
EWA16010
Improper maintenance can result in
loss of braking ability. Observe
these precautions:●
Insufficient brake fluid may al-
low air to enter the brake sys-
tem, reducing braking
performance.
●
Clean the filler cap before re-
moving. Use only DOT 4 brake
fluid from a sealed container.
●
Use only the specified brake flu-
id; otherwise, the rubber seals
may deteriorate, causing leak-
age.
●
Refill with the same type of
brake fluid. Adding a brake fluid
other than DOT 4 may result in a
harmful chemical reaction.
●
Be careful that water or dust
does not enter the brake fluid
reservoir when refilling. Water
will significantly lower the boil-
ing point of the fluid and may re-
sult in vapor lock, and dirt may
clog the ABS hydraulic unit
valves.
NOTICE
ECA17640
Brake fluid may damage painted sur-
faces or plastic parts. Always clean
up spilled fluid immediately.As the brake pads wear, it is normal for
the brake fluid level to gradually go
down. A low brake fluid level may indi-
cate worn brake pads and/or brake sys-
tem leakage; therefore, be sure to
check the brake pads for wear and the
brake system for leakage. If the brakefluid level goes down suddenly, have a
Yamaha dealer check the cause before
further riding.
