initially when the key is turned to “ON”,
or if the warning light remains on, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.
TIP
Even if the oil level is sufficient, the
warning light may flicker when rid-
ing on a slope or during sudden
acceleration or deceleration, but
this is not a malfunction.
This model is also equipped with a
self-diagnosis device for the oil
level detection circuit. If a problem
is detected in the oil level detec-
tion circuit, the following cycle will
be repeated until the malfunction
is corrected: The oil level warning
light will flash ten times, then go
off for 2.5 seconds. If this occurs,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle.

Apply the front or rear brake.
Disengage the clutch.
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.Usin g the resume function
Push the “RES+” side of the cruise
control 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
EWA16351
It is d
angerous to use the resume
function when the previously set
cruisin g speed is too hi gh for current
con ditions.TIP The resume function operates
when riding in 3rd gear at speeds
between about 50 km/h (31 mi/h)
and 100 km/h (62 mi/h), 4th gear
at speeds between about 50 km/h
(31 mi/h) and 150 km/h (93 mi/h),
or 5th or 6th gear at speeds be-
tween 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 auto-
matically 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

3stalls, 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 automat-
ically deactivated, please stop and
confirm that your vehicle is in good op-
erating 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
traveling uphill or downhill.
When the vehicle is traveling up-
hill, the actual traveling speed may
become lower than the set cruis-
ing speed. If this occurs, acceler-
ate 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
control system will become deac-
tivated.
Self-
dia gnosis 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 is on, or while the
cruise control system is malfunction-
ing.

TIPThe ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test each time the vehicle first
starts off after the key is turned to
“ON” and the vehicle has traveled
at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or
higher. During this test, a “click-
ing” noise can be heard from un-
der the seat, and if the brake lever
or brake pedal is even slightly ap-
plied, a vibration can be felt at the
lever and pedal, but these do not
indicate a malfunction.
This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience
the pulsation at the brake lever or
brake pedal when the ABS is op-
erating. However, special tools are
required, so please consult your
Yamaha dealer when performing
this test.NOTICE
ECA16831
Keep any type of mag nets (includin g
ma gnetic pick-up tools, ma gnetic
screwd rivers, etc.) away from the
front an d rear wheel hu bs; other-
wise, the ma gnetic rotors equippe din the wheel hu
bs may be damag ed ,
resultin g in improper performance
of the ABS an d the unifie d b rake
system.
EAU58952
Traction control systemThe traction control system helps
maintain traction when accelerating on
slippery surfaces, such as unpaved or
wet roads. If sensors detect that the
rear wheel is starting to slip (uncon-
trolled spinning), the traction control
system assists by regulating engine
power as needed until traction is re-
stored. The traction control system in-
dicator/warning light flashes to let the
rider know that traction control has en-
gaged.TIPThe rider may also notice slight chang-
es in engine and exhaust sounds when
the traction control system is engaged.
WARNING
EWA15432
The traction control system is not a
su bstitute for rid ing appropriately
for the con ditions. Traction control
cannot prevent loss of traction due
to excessive speed when entering
turns, when acceleratin g har d at a
sharp lean an gle, or while brakin g,
an d cannot prevent front wheel slip-

Brake li ght switchesThe brake light, which is activated by
the brake pedal and brake lever,
should come on just before braking
takes effect. Since the brake light
switches are components of the cruise
control system, they must be adjusted
by a Yamaha dealer, who has the nec-
essary professional knowledge and ex-
perience.
