Stop mode function switch “ ”
When this switch is pushed, the stop
mode function is activated and the
stop mode function indicator light
comes on.
When the stop mode function is acti-
vated, the function works together with
the YCC-S system to automatically
shift down to 1st gear according to the
vehicle speed.
If this function is activated and the
transmission is in 2nd gear or higher
when the rider stops the vehicle, the
function will automatically shift down
to 1st gear.
TIPWhen the stop mode function is acti-
vated, the shift down indicator light will
flash only when the rider attempts to
start off in 2nd gear or higher.

YCC-S systemThis vehicle features the YCC-S
(Yamaha Chip Controlled-Shift) sys-
tem.
The basic function of this system al-
lows the rider to shift gears without the
use of a clutch lever. Furthermore, a
hand shift lever is equipped on the
handlebar, allowing the rider to shift
gears with either the foot-operated
shift pedal or the hand-operated shift
lever. (See page 3-29.)
When the engine is started and the
shift pedal or the shift lever is moved, a
signal is sent to the MCU (Motor Con-
trol Unit) which disengages the clutch,
the ECU (Engine Control Unit) then ad-
justs the electronic throttle valve, the
gear shift is made and then the clutch
is re-engaged once the engine is run-
ning at the proper speed. Clutch en-
gagement is controlled optimally by
the MCU according to engine r/min,
engine requirements, and riding condi-
tions.

Within each preload setting there are 3
damping force settings: “HARD”
(hard), “STD” (standard) and “SOFT”
(soft). When the preload setting is
changed, the damping force settings
will change accordingly. (The electron-
ically adjustable suspension system
will automatically adjust to the damp-
ing force settings last set for that pre-
load setting.) To further finely adjust
the damping force, each damping
force setting can be set to 7 different
levels.
