To change YRC modes or make settingchanges1. Push the mode switch center but-
ton to scroll left to right and high-
light the item you want to adjust. 2. Use the mode switch up button or
down button to change the select-
ed item value (vertical scrolling is
not possible).
TIP
When the vehicle is in motion,
YRC items MODE, TCS, and SCS
cannot be adjusted.

When the throttle grip is being
turned PWR cannot be adjusted.

When YRC items MODE/PWR/
TCS/SCS cannot be adjusted, the
respective YRC item box changes
to white.

Turning off the traction control sys-
tem will turn off the SCS, LCS, andLIF systems for all YRC modes.
YRC items LCS/QS/LIF
The on/off status of YRC items LCS,
QSS, and LIF is shown here. When any
of these systems are registered (not set
to OFF) for the currently selected YRC
mode, its respective icon will appear.
When LCS is registered for the current-
ly selected YRC mode, its icon will be
grey. To activate the launch control

when the engine oil pressure is low.
When the key is first turned to ON, en-
gine oil pressure has yet to build, so this
icon will come on and stay on until the
engine has been started.
NOTICE
ECA21210
If the warning light comes on when
the engine is running, stop the en-
gine immediately and check oil level.
If the oil level is below the minimum
level, add sufficient oil of the recom-
mended type to raise it up to the cor-
rect level. If the oil pressure warning
light remains on even if the oil level
is correct, immediately turn the en-
gine off and have a Yamaha dealercheck the vehicle.
Coolant temperature warning “ ”
This icon comes on if the coolant tem-
perature reaches 117
C (242 F) or
higher. Stop the vehicle and turn off the
engine. Allow the engine to cool.NOTICE
ECA10022
Do not continue to operate the en-
gine if it is overheating.

tion of the main screen will switch to er-
ror mode. The following error-related
warning icons and error codes will then
be viewable.

TIPIf the display indicates error code 52, or
if you have trouble starting the engine
with a standard key, this could be
caused by transponder interference. Ifthis occurs, try the following.
1. Make sure there are no other im- mobilizer keys, or other devices
which transmit electrical signals,
close to the main switch.
2. Use the code re-registering key to start the engine.

Fuel tank capTo open the fuel tank cap
Open the fuel tank cap lock cover, in-
sert the key into the lock, and then turn
it 1/4 turn clockwise. The lock will be re-
leased and the fuel tank cap can be
opened.
To close the fuel tank cap 1. Push the fuel tank cap into position with the key inserted in the lock.
2. Turn the key counterclockwise to the original position, remove it, and
then close the lock cover.
TIPThe fuel tank cap cannot be closed un-
less the key is in the lock. In addition,
the key cannot be removed if the cap isnot properly closed and locked.
WARNING
EWA11092
Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly closed after filling fuel.Leaking fuel is a fire hazard.
EAU13222
FuelMake sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, followthese instructions.
1. Before refueling, turn off the en- gine and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters and
clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler
hole. Stop filling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the filler
tube. Because fuel expands when
it heats up, heat from the engine or
the sun can cause fuel to spill out
of the fuel tank.
1. Fuel tank cap lock cover
2. Unlock.

off spilled fuel with a clean, dry,
soft cloth, since fuel may deteri-

4. Be sure to securely close the fuel tank cap.
WARNING
EWA15152
Gasoline is poisonous and can
cause injury or death. Handle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gaso-
line by mouth. If you should swallow
some gasoline or inhale a lot of gas-
oline vapor, or get some gasoline in your eyes, see your doctor immedi-
ately. If gasoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap and water. If gaso-
line spills on your clothing, change
your clothes.
EAU54602
NOTICE
ECA11401
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause severe
damage to internal engine parts,
such as the valves and piston rings,as well as to the exhaust system.
Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use premium unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
95 or higher. If knocking (or pinging) oc-
curs, use a gasoline of a differentbrand. Use of unleaded fuel will extend
spark plug life and reduce maintenance
costs.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gaso-
hol containing ethanol and that contain-
ing methanol. Gasohol containing
ethanol can be used if the ethanol con-
tent does not exceed 10% (E10). Gas-
ohol containing methanol is not
recommended by Yamaha because it
can cause damage to the fuel system
or vehicle performance problems.

Recommended fuel:
Premium unleaded gasoline (Gaso-
hol (E10) acceptable)
Fuel tank capacity: 17 L (4.49 US gal, 3.74 Imp.gal)
Fuel reserve amount (when the fuel
level warning light comes on):
3.0 L (0.79 US gal, 0.66 Imp.gal)

TIPThis model is equipped with:
an inertial measurement unit (IMU)
that will stop the engine in case of
a turnover. In this case, the display
will indicate error code 30, but this
is not a malfunction. Turn the key
to “OFF” and then to “ON” to clear
the error code. Failing to do so will
prevent the engine from starting
even though the engine will crank
when pushing the start switch.

an engine auto-stop system. The
engine stops automatically if left
idling for 20 minutes. If the engine
stops, simply push the start switchto restart the engine.
EAU67071
Starting the engineIn order for the ignition circuit cut-off
system to enable starting, one of the
following conditions must be met:
The transmission is in the neutral
position.

The transmission is in gear with
the clutch lever pulled and the sid-
estand up.
See page 4-46 for more informa-
tion.
1. Turn the key to “ON” and make sure that the engine stop switch is
set to “ ”.
The following warning lights and
indicator lights should come on for
a few seconds, then go off.
Fuel level warning light

Shift timing indicator light

Engine trouble and system
warning light

Stability control indicator light



In order to prevent clutch slip-
page (since the engine oil also
lubricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives. Do
not use oils with a diesel speci-
fication of “CD” or oils of a high-
er quality than specified. In
addition, do not use oils labeled
“ENERGY CONSERVING II” or
higher.

Make sure that no foreign mate-rial enters the crankcase.
10. Start the engine, and then let it idle for several minutes while checking
it for oil leakage. If oil is leaking, im-
mediately turn the engine off and
check for the cause.
TIPAfter the engine is started, the oil pres-
sure and coolant temperature warning
light should go off if the oil level is suffi-cient.NOTICE
ECA22490
If the oil pressure and coolant tem-
perature warning light flickers or re-
mains on even if the oil level is
correct, immediately turn the engine
off and have a Yamaha dealer checkthe vehicle.
11. Turn the engine off, wait a few min- utes until the oil settles, and then
check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.
12. Install the cowling and panel.
EAU20071
CoolantThe coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the cool-
ant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAU66510
To check the coolant level 1. Place the vehicle on a level sur- face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.TIP
The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level
varies with engine temperature.

Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking
the coolant level. A slight tilt to theside can result in a false reading.
2. Check the coolant level in the cool- ant reservoir.
TIPThe coolant should be between theminimum and maximum level marks.
Recommended engine oil:Full synthetic SAE 10W-40 or
15W-50
Oil quantity:
Without oil filter cartridge replace-
ment: 3.90 L (4.12 US qt, 3.43 Imp.qt)
With oil filter cartridge replacement: 4.10 L (4.33 US qt, 3.61 Imp.qt)
