YCC-S system
This 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 3-27.)
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.
TIP
This 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 3-25.) and OPERATION AND IM-
PORTANT RIDING POINTS (See page
5-1.) for further explanation of this sys-
tem.

Shift pe dal
This motorcycle is equipped with a
constant-mesh 6-speed transmission.
The shift pedal is located on the left
side of the motorcycle. Neutral is at the
bottom position.
TIP
It is impossible to shift gears unless the
key is in the “ON” position.
The shift pedal can be adjusted to
three positions to suit the rider’s pref-
erence.

4. Turn the key to “ON”.
5. Shift the transmission into the neutral position.
6. Keep the front or rear brake applied.
7.
Push the “ ” side of the start/engine
stop switch.
Does the engine start?
With the engine still running:
8. Move the sidestand up.
9. Shift the transmission into gear.
10. Move the sidestand down.
Does the engine stall?
After the engine has stalled:
11. Move the sidestand up.
12. Release the brake.
13.

The system is OK. The motorcycle can
be ridden.
The neutral switch, a brake light switch
or the YCC-S system may not be
working correctly.
The motorcycle should not be ridden
until checked by a Yamaha dealer.
The sidestand switch may not be
working correctly.
The motorcycle should not be ridden
until checked by a Yamaha dealer.
A brake light switch may not be working
correctly.
The motorcycle should not be ridden
until checked by a Yamaha dealer.
WARNING
The vehicle must be placed on the centerstand during this inspection.
If a malfunction is noted, have a Yamaha dealer check the system
before riding.
TIP
The traction control system
indicator/warning light “TCS” may come
on, but this is not a malfunction.

WARNING
EWA16411
Always apply the front or rear brake
while the main switch is in the “ON”
position an d the transmission is in
g ear. Otherwise, the vehicle may
su ddenly start to move when the en-
g ine is starte d, causin g loss of con-
trol an d possi bly an acci dent.
In order for the ignition circuit cut-off
system to enable starting, one of the
following conditions must be met:
 The front or rear brake is applied
with the transmission in the neu-
tral position whether the sidestand
is up or down.
 The front or rear brake is applied
with the transmission in gear and
the sidestand is up.
See page 3-48 for more informa-
tion.
1. Turn the key to “ON” and make sure that the start/engine stop
switch is set to “ ”.
The following warning lights and
indicator lights should come on for
a few seconds, then go off. Oil level warning light
 Engine trouble warning light
 Traction control system indi-
cator/warning light
 Cruise control indicator lights
 Electronically adjustable sus-
pension system warning light
 Shift down indicator light
 YCC-S system warning light
 Stop mode function indicator
light
 Immobilizer system indicator

TIP
If the stop mode function was activat-
ed when the key was turned to “OFF”
then the stop mode function is still ac-
tivated and the indicator light will re-
main on.
NOTICE

turne d to “ON”, or if a warnin g or in-
d icator li ght remains on, see pag e
3-4 for the correspon din g warnin g
an d in dicator li ght circuit check.
The ABS warning light should
come on when the key is turned to
“ON”, and then go off after travel-
ing at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h)
or higher.
NOTICE
ECA17682
If the ABS warnin g li ght does not
come on an d then go off as ex-
plained above, see pa ge 3-4 for the
warnin g li ght circuit check.
2. Shift the transmission into the
neutral position. The neutral indi-
cator light should come on. If not,
ask a Yamaha dealer to check the
electrical circuit.
3. Start the engine by pushing the “ ” side of the start/engine
stop switch with the front or rear
brake applied.
If the engine fails to start, release
the start/engine stop switch, wait
a few seconds, and then try again.
Each starting attempt should be

Shiftin g
Shifting 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 3-26 for an explanation
of the YCC-S system, to page 3-26 for
the shift pedal operation, and to page
3-27 for the hand shift lever operation.
The gear positions are shown in the il-
lustration.
TIP
To shift the transmission into the
neutral position, press the shift
pedal down repeatedly, or push
1. Shift pedal
2. Neutral position

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 necessary
to 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
lon g period s of time with the en gine
off, an d d o not tow the vehicle for
lon g d istances. The transmission is
properly lu bricate d only when the
en gine is runnin g. Ina dequate lu bri-
cation may d amage the transmis-
sion.
EAU73230To start out an d accelerate
1. Shift the transmission into first gear. The neutral indicator light
should go out.
2. Open the throttle gradually. 3. At the recommended shift points
shown in the following table, close
the throttle.
4. Shift the transmission into second gear. (Make sure not to shift the
transmission into the neutral posi-
tion.)
5. Open the throttle part way.
6. Follow the same procedure when shifting to the next higher gear.
TIP
When shifting gears in normal operat-
ing conditions, use the recommended
shift points.
EAU73240To decelerate
1. Release the throttle and apply both the front and the rear brakes
smoothly to slow the motorcycle.
2. At the recommended shift points shown in the following table, shift
to a lower gear.
3. When the motorcycle reaches 25 km/h (16 mph), the engine is about
to stall or runs roughly, use the
brakes to slow the motorcycle,
and continue to downshift as nec-
essary.
4. Once the motorcycle has stopped, the transmission can be
shifted into the neutral position.
The neutral indicator light should
come on.
WARNING

Improper brakin g can cause
loss of control or traction. Al-
ways use b oth brakes an d apply
them smoothly.

Parkin g
When parking, stop the engine by turn-
ing the main switch to “OFF”, and then
remove the key.
TIP
When the main switch is turned to
“OFF” and the transmission is in gear,
the rear wheel cannot be moved.
WARNING
EWA14524
Always stop the en gine usin g
the main switch. When the en-
g ine stop switch has b een used
in an emer gency, be sure to ap-
ply the front or rear brake while
the main switch is still on, as the
clutch automatically d isengag -
es a few secon ds after the en-
g ine is turne d off, an d the rear
wheel will move freely.
 Since the en gine an d exhaust
system can become very hot,
park in a place where pe destri-
ans or chil dren are not likely to
touch them an d b e burne d.
 Do not park on a slope or on soft
groun d, otherwise the vehicle
may overturn, increasin g the
risk of a fuel leak an d fire.
 Do not park near grass or other
flamma ble materials which
mi ght catch fire.
