EAU73171En gine trou ble warnin g lig ht “ ”
This warning light comes on if a prob-
lem is detected in the engine or other
vehicle control system. If this occurs,
have a Yamaha dealer check the on-
board diagnostic 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”,

EAU69890ABS warnin g li ght “ ”
In normal operation, the ABS warning
light comes on when the key is turned
to “ON”, and goes off after traveling at
a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or higher.
If the ABS warning light:  does not come on when the key is
turned to “ON”
 comes on or flashes while riding
 does not go off after traveling at a
speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or high-
er
The ABS may not work correctly. If any
of the above occurs, have a Yamaha
dealer check the system as soon as
possible. (See page 3-26 for an expla-
nation of the ABS.)
WARNING

If the ABS warnin g li ght does not go
off after travelin g at a speed of 10
km/h (6 mi/h) or hi gher, or if the
warnin g li ght comes on or flashes
while ri din g, the b rake system re-
verts to conventional brakin g. If ei- ther of the a
bove occurs, or if the

EAU54261Traction control system in dica-
tor/warnin g li ght “TCS”
This indicator/warning light flashes
when the traction control system en-
gages and comes on when the system
is turned off.
The electrical circuit of the light can be
checked by turning the key to “ON”.
The light should come on for a few sec-
onds, and then go off.
If the light does not come on initially
when the key is turned to “ON”, or if the
light remains on, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.
If the traction control system becomes
disabled while riding, the indica-
tor/warning light and engine trouble
warning light come on. (See page 3-27

djustin g the set cruisin g speed
While the cruise control system is op-
erating, push the “RES+” side of the
cruise control setting switch to in-
crease the set cruising speed or the
“SET–” side to decrease the set speed.
TIP
Pushing the setting switch once will
change the speed in increments of ap-
proximately 2.0 km/h (1.2 mi/h). Hold-
ing the “RES+” or “SET–” side of the
cruise control setting switch down will
increase or decrease the speed contin-
uously until the switch is released.
You can also manually increase your
traveling speed using the throttle. After
you have accelerated, you can set a
new cruising speed by pushing the
“SET–” side of the setting switch. If you
do not set a new cruising speed, when
you return the throttle grip, the vehicle
will decelerate to the previously set
cruising speed.
Deactivatin g the cruise control sys-
tem
Perform one of the following opera-
tions to cancel the set cruising speed.
The “SET” indicator light will go off.  Turn the throttle grip past the
closed position in the deceleration
direction. 
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.
TIP
Traveling 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
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 cruise
control system
The 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
stalls, 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.
TIP
In 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.

Brake ped al
The brake pedal is located on the right
side of the vehicle.
This model is equipped with a unified
brake system.
When pressing down on the brake
pedal, the rear brake and a portion of
the front brake are applied. For full
braking performance, apply both the
brake lever and the brake pedal simul-
taneously.
EAU73181
ABS
This model’s anti-lock brake system
(ABS) features a dual electronic control
system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently.
Operate the brakes with ABS as you
would conventional brakes. If the ABS
is activated, a pulsating sensation may
be felt at the brake lever or brake ped-
al. In this situation, continue to apply
the brakes and let the ABS work; do
not “pump” the brakes as this will re-
duce braking effectiveness.
WARNING
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient d istance
from the vehicle ahead to match the
ri din g speed even with ABS.
 The ABS performs b est with
lon g b rakin g d istances.
 On certain surfaces, such as
rou gh or g ravel roa ds, the b rak-
in g d istance may be lon ger with
the ABS than without.
The ABS is monitored by an ECU,
which will revert the system to conven-
tional braking if a malfunction occurs.
TIP
 The 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 may be heard from the
hydraulic control unit, and if the
brake lever or brake pedal is even
slightly applied, a vibration can be
felt at the lever and pedal, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.
