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.

EAU54271
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.
