ABS warning light “ ”
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 warning light does not work as de-
scribed above, or if the warning light
comes on while riding, the ABS and
UBS may not work correctly. Have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle as
soon as possible. (See “Brake system”
on page 4-32 for an explanation of ABS
and UBS.)
WARNING
EWA16041
If the ABS warning light does not go
off after traveling at a speed of 10
km/h (6 mi/h) or higher, or if the
warning light comes on or flashes
while riding, the brake system re-
verts to conventional braking. If ei-
ther of the above occurs, or if the
warning light does not come on at
all, use extra caution to avoid possi-
ble wheel lock during emergency
braking. Have a Yamaha dealer
check the brake system and electri-cal circuits as soon as possible.
EAU67431
Shift timing indicator light
This indicator light can be set to come
on and go off at the desired engine
speeds and is used to inform the rider
when it is time to shift to the next higher
gear. (See page 4-24.)
The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked by turning the key
to ON. The indicator light should come
on for a few seconds, and then go off.
If the indicator light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to ON, or
if the indicator light remains on, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical cir-
cuit.

lizer system is still enabled.
The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked by turning the key to ON. The indicator light should come
on for a few seconds, and then go off. If
the indicator light does not operate as
described above, have a Yamaha deal-
er check the vehicle.
If a problem is detected in the immobi-
lizer system, the immobilizer system in-
dicator light will flash and the display
will indicate an error code. (See “Error
mode” on page 4-14.)
EAU65980

Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle’s
traveling speed.
For certain markets, the display can be
switched between kilometers and
miles. (See “Unit” on page 4-22.)
Tachometer
The tachometer shows the engine
speed, as measured by the rotational
velocity of the crankshaft, in revolutions
per minute (r/min). When the vehicle is
first powered on, the tachometer will
sweep across the r/min range and then
return to zero.TIP
In TRACK MODE, the tachometer
starts at 8000 r/min.

In STREET MODE, the tachome-
ter can be color-adjusted and has
a revolution peak hold indicatorwhich can be turned on or off.
NOTICE
ECA10032
Do not operate the engine in the ta- chometer red zone.
Red zone: 14000 r/min and above
Information display
This section of the main screen is used
to show additional riding related infor-
mation such as air and coolant temper-
ature readings, tripmeters, and fuel
consumption statistics. The information
display items can be set into four
groups via the MENU screen.
The information display items are:
A.TEMP: air temperature
C.TEMP: coolant temperature
TRIP-1: tripmeter 1
TRIP-2: tripmeter 2
F-TRIP: fuel tripmeter
ODO: odometer
FUEL CON: the amount of fuel con-
sumed
FUEL AVG: average fuel consumption
CRNT FUEL: current fuel consumptionTIP
ODO will lock at 999999 and can-
not be reset.

TRIP-1 and TRIP-2 will reset and
continue counting after 9999.9 has
been reached.

When the fuel tank reserve level
has been reached, F-TRIP ap-
pears automatically and begins re-
cording distance traveled from that
point.

After refueling and traveling some
distance, F-TRIP will automatically
disappear.

See “Unit” on page 4-22 to change
the fuel consumption units.

In TRACK MODE, information dis-
play items FASTEST (fastest lap
time) and AVERAGE (average laptime) are also available.
TRIP-1, TRIP-2, F-TRIP, FUEL CON,
and FUEL AVE items can be individual-
ly reset.
To reset information display items
1. Use the wheel switch to scroll through the display items until the
item you want to reset appears.
2. Short push the wheel switch and the item will flash for five seconds.
(For STREET MODE, if both items
are resettable items, the top item
will flash first. Scroll down to select
the bottom item.)

Transmission gear display
This shows which gear the transmis-
sion is in. This model has 6 gears and a
neutral position. The neutral position is
indicated by the neutral indicator light
“ ” and by the transmission gear dis-
play “ ”.
Front brake pressure indicator
This shows how much braking power is
being applied to the front brakes.
Acceleration indicator
This shows the vehicle’s forward accel-
eration and deceleration forces.
Revolution peak hold indicator
This small bar momentarily appears
within the tachometer to mark the most
recent peak r/min speed of the engine.
YRC items MODE/PWR/TCS/SCS
The current MODE (YRC mode) and its
related PWR, TCS and SCS settings
are shown here. The individual settings for YRC items
PWR, TCS, SCS, LCS, QSS and LIF
can be organized into four groups and
set independently for each group.
These groups of settings are the YRC
modes MODE-A, MODE-B, MODE-C,
and MODE-D. Use the mode switch to
change YRC modes or make YRC item
setting changes from the main screen.
TIPThe YRC modes come preset from the
factory for different riding conditions.
When using the factory presets, the
suggested YRC modes are as follows.
MODE-A is suitable for track rid-
ing.

MODE-B is a softer track-riding
setting.

MODE-C is suitable for street rid-
ing.

MODE-D is suitable for touring orrainy weather.
To change YRC modes or make setting
changes1. Push the mode switch center but- ton to scroll left to right and high-
light the item you want to adjust. 2. Use the mode switch up button or
down button to change the select-
ed item value (vertical scrolling is
not possible).
TIP
Under certain conditions, such as
when the vehicle is in motion, the
throttle grip is turned, excessive
wheel slip is detected, etc., certain
YRC items cannot be adjusted.

When a YRC item is highlighted
but cannot be adjusted, the YRCitem box will return to black.
