Traction control system
The traction control system helps
maintain traction when accelerating on
slippery surfaces, such as unpaved or
wet roads. If sensors detect that the
rear wheel is starting to slip (uncon-
trolled spinning), the traction control
system assists by regulating engine
power as needed until traction is re-
stored. The “TCS” indicator/warning
light flashes to let the rider know that
traction control has engaged.
TIP
The rider may also notice slight chang-
es in engine and exhaust sounds when
the traction control system is engaged.
WARNING
EWA15432
The traction control system is not a
su bstitute for rid ing appropriately
for the con ditions. Traction control
cannot prevent loss of traction due
to excessive speed when entering
turns, when acceleratin g har d at a
sharp lean an gle, or while brakin g,
an d cannot prevent front wheel slip-
pin g. As with any motorcycle, ap-
proach surfaces that may b e
slippery with caution an d avoi d es-
pecially slippery surfaces.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the
traction control system automatically
turns on.
The traction control system can be
turned on or off manually only when the
key is in the “ON” position and the mo-
torcycle is stopped.
TIP
Turn the traction control system off to
help free the rear wheel if the motorcy-
cle gets stuck in mud, sand, or other
soft surfaces.
NOTICE
ECA16801
Use only the specifie d tires. (See
pa ge 6-19.) Usin g different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controllin g tire rotation
accurately.
Turnin g on/off the traction control
system
WARNING
EWA15441
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
makin g any settin g chan ges to the
traction control system. Chan gin g
settin gs while ri din g can d istract the
operator an d increase the risk of an
acci dent.
To turn off the traction control system,
push the “TCS” button on the multi-
function meter unit for at least 2 sec-
onds. The “TCS” indicator/warning
light will come on.
To turn on the traction control system,
push the “TCS” button again. The
“TCS” indicator/warning light will go
off.

Resetting
The traction control system will be dis-
abled in the following conditions:  The rear wheel is rotated with the
centerstand down and the key in
the “ON” position.
 Either the front wheel or rear wheel
comes off the ground while riding.
 Excessive rear wheel spinning.
If the traction control system has been
disabled, both the “TCS” indica-
tor/warning light and the engine trou-
ble warning light come on.
To reset the traction control system
Turn the key to “OFF”. Wait at least 1
second, then turn the key back to
“ON”. The “TCS” indicator/warning
light should go off and the system will
be enabled. The engine trouble warn-
ing light should go off after the motor-
cycle reaches at least 20 km/h (12
mi/h). If the “TCS” indicator/warning
light and/or engine trouble warning
light still remain on after resetting, the
motorcycle may still be ridden; howev-
er, have a Yamaha dealer check the
motorcycle as soon as possible.

A djustin g the front an d rear
suspension
This model is equipped with an elec-
tronically adjustable suspension sys-
tem. The preload of the rear shock
absorber and the damping forces of
both the front fork and rear shock ab-
sorber can be adjusted.
WARNING
EWA12423
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
makin g any settin g chan ges to the
multi-function meter unit. Chang ing
settin gs while ri din g can d istract the

Preloa d
When riding with luggage or a passen-
ger, use the preload adjusting function
to adjust the suspension system to
match the load. There are 4 preload
settings.
TIP
 The preload adjusting function will
appear only when the engine is
running.
 Changing the preload setting will
also adjust the front and rear sus-
pension damping forces accord-
ingly. See “Damping force” on
page 3-45 for more information.
 About cold temperature opera-
tion:
• When using the preload adjust- ing function, there should be no
weight on the vehicle.
• When using the preload adjust- ing function at ambient temper-
atures near or below 0 °C (32
°F), to protect the preload ad- justing function motor, the elec-
tronically adjustable suspension
system warning light may come
on.
• The suspension will still operate as normal, only the preload ad-
justing function cannot be used.
• To reset the electronically ad- justable suspension system
warning light, wait approximate-
ly 6 minutes and then turn the
key to “OFF” or immediately
turn the key to “OFF” and then
wait 6 minutes.
• If the electronically adjustable suspension system warning
light remains on, have a
Yamaha dealer check the sus- pension system.
To adjust the preload
1. Turn the key to “ON”, start the en- gine, and then shift the transmis-
sion into neutral.
2. Push the menu switch “MENU” to switch the function display to the

circle. Once the selected picto-
gram returns, the preload adjust-
ment is complete. While the preload is being adjusted,
the information display may change as
follows.
 If the key is turned to “OFF” or the
engine is stopped while the pre-
load is being set, the following
preload setting pictogram will
flash to alert you that the current
preload setting does not match
the pictogram. If this occurs, ad-
just the preload again.
 If the vehicle starts moving, the
following preload setting picto-
gram will flash to alert you that the
current preload setting does not
match the pictogram. If this oc-

 If the preload is adjusted repeat-
edly, the preload setting picto-
gram will flash 4 times and the
preload cannot be adjusted. Wait
approximately 6 minutes for the
preload adjusting function motor
to cool down, and then try adjust-
ing the preload again.
Dampin g force
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.
TIP
If the preload setting was not complet-
ed correctly:  The damping force setting and
setting level will flash 4 times and
cannot be adjusted if you try to
adjust them while the vehicle is
stopped.
 The preload setting pictogram will
flash and the damping force can-
not be adjusted if you try to adjust
it while the vehicle is moving.
Be sure that the preload has been set
correctly before adjusting the damping
force.
To adjust the damping force and
damping force setting level
1. Turn the key to “ON”.
2. Push the menu switch “MENU” to switch the function display to the
damping force adjusting function.
