Electronically adjustable suspen-
sion system warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on if a prob-
lem is detected in the electronically ad-
justable suspension system.
The electrical circuit of the warning
light can be checked by turning the key
to “ON”. The warning light should
come on for a few seconds, and then
go off.
If the warning light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ON”,
or if the warning light remains on, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.
EAU55431
Shift down indicator light “ ”
This indicator light flashes when the
transmission gear is too high for the
vehicle speed.To avoid damaging the YCC-S clutch,
the shift down indicator light flashes
when it is necessary to downshift. If
this occurs, downshift until the indica-
tor light stops flashing.
EAU55442
YCC-S system warning light “ ”
If this warning light comes on while rid-
ing, the YCC-S system may not work
correctly. If this occurs:
It may be impossible to shift out of
the gear you are in.
The clutch may stay engaged, so
a shuddering sensation may be
felt as you come to a stop.
Stop the vehicle when it is safe to do
so, and park it away from traffic. Have
a Yamaha dealer check the YCC-S
system.TIPIn order to be able to move the vehicle
after it has stopped, if shifting is impos-
sible using the hand shift lever and shift
pedal, proceed as follows:Place the vehicle on the centerstand,
then while rotating the rear wheel, push
the shift pedal rod and shift pedal rod
pivot forward until the transmission is
in the neutral position.
The electrical circuit of the warning
light can be checked by turning the key
come on for a few seconds, and then
go off.
If the warning light does not come on
or if the warning light remains on, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.1. Shift pedal rod pivot

occurs, have a Yamaha dealer check
the electrical circuit.
Eco indicator
This indicator comes on when the vehi-
cle is being operated in an environ-
mentally friendly, fuel-efficient manner.
The indicator goes off when the vehicle
is stopped.TIPConsider the following tips to reduce
fuel consumption:
Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
Travel at a constant speed.Select the transmission gear that
is appropriate for the vehicle
speed.
Transmission gear display
This display shows the selected gear.
The neutral position is indicated by the
neutral indicator light “ ” and by the
transmission gear display “ ”.
To avoid damaging the YCC-S clutch,
the shift down indicator light flashes
when it is necessary to downshift. If
this occurs, downshift until the display
stops flashing.Drive mode display
This display indicates which drive
mode has been selected: Touring
mode “T” or sports mode “S”. For
more details on the modes and on how
to select them, see pages 3-25 and

Select switch “ / ”
This switch is used to perform selec-
tions in the function display and setting
mode display of the multi-function me-
ter unit.
See “Multi-function meter unit” on
page 3-11 for detailed information.
EAU55463
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.

Drive mode switch “MODE”
WARNING
EWA15341
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.
The selected mode is shown on the
drive mode display. (See page 3-13.)
The drive mode cannot be changed
while the cruise control system is oper-
ating.
EAU55491
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.

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 activat-
ed.See “Stop mode function switch” (See
page 3-27.) and OPERATION AND IM-
PORTANT RIDING POINTS (See page
5-1.) for further explanation of this sys-
tem.

Shift pedalThis motorcycle is equipped with a
constant-mesh 5-speed transmission.
The shift pedal is located on the left
side of the motorcycle. Neutral is at the
bottom position.TIPIt is impossible to shift gears unless the
The shift pedal can be adjusted to
erence.
To adjust the shift pedal position
1. Remove the shift pedal by remov-
ing the bolt.2. Move the shift pedal to the desired
position.
3. Install the bolt, and then tighten it

ShiftingShifting gears lets you control the
amount of engine power available for
starting off, accelerating, climbing hills,
etc.The gears can be shifted using either
the shift pedal or the hand shift lever.
Refer to page 3-27 for an explanation
of the YCC-S system, to page 3-28 for
the shift pedal operation, and to page
3-29 for the hand shift lever operation.
The gear positions are shown in the il-
lustration.
TIPTo shift the transmission into the
neutral position, press the shift
pedal down repeatedly, or push
the “ ” side of the hand shift lever
repeatedly until the neutral indica-
tor light comes on.
When shifting from neutral to 1st
gear, the engine speed must be
lower than approximately 1300
r/min and the sidestand must be
up.
Shifting up is impossible if the en-
gine speed is too low.
Shifting down is impossible if the
engine speed is too high.
To avoid damaging the YCC-S
clutch, the shift down indicator
light flashes when it is necessaryto downshift. If this occurs, down-
shift until the indicator light stops
flashing.
When the stop mode function is
activated, the transmission auto-
matically shifts down when com-
ing to a stop.
NOTICE
ECA17951
Even with the transmission in the
neutral position, do not coast for
long periods of time with the engine
off, and do not tow the vehicle for
long distances. The transmission is
properly lubricated only when the
engine is running. Inadequate lubri-
cation may damage the transmis-
sion.
