and the lights by following the proce-
dures under “Resetting” on page 3-31.
EAU55392Electronically a
djusta ble suspen-
sion system warnin g lig ht “ ”
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.
EAU55431Shift down in dicator li ght “ ”
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.
EAU55442YCC-S system warnin g li ght “ ”
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.
TIP
In 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
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.

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.
EAU40496
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.
To a djust the shift ped al position
1. Remove the shift pedal by remov- ing the bolt.

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
EWA17380
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.
