Setting the traction control system
With the throttle closed, push this
switch down to change from TCS “1” to
TCS “2”. Push up to change from “2” to
“1”.
With the vehicle stopped, push this
switch up for two seconds to turn the
system off. Push down to turn the sys-
tem on.
TIP
The current TCS setting is shown
in the TCS display (page 4-10).
Traction control can be turned on
or off only when the vehicle is
stopped.
When the key is turned to “ON”,
traction control is turned on and set to “1” or “2” (whichever was last
selected).
Turn the traction control system off
to help free the rear wheel if the ve-
hicle gets stuck in mud, sand, orother soft surfaces.
TCS “OFF”
TCS “OFF” turns the traction control
system off.
TCS “1”
TCS “1” minimizes tr action control sys-
tem assist.
TCS “2”
TCS “2” maximizes traction control as-
sist; wheel spin is most strongly con-
trolled. The “ ” indicator light flashes when
traction control has engaged. You may
notice slight changes in engine and ex-
haust sounds when the system has en-
gaged.
When the traction control system has
been set to “OFF”, the “ ” indicator
light will come on.
NOTICE
ECA16801
Use only the specified tires. (See
page 7-19.) Using different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controlling tire rotationaccurately.

Tire information
This model is equipped with tubeless
tires and tire air valves.
Tires age, even if they have not been
used or have only been used occasion-
ally. Cracking of the tread and sidewall
rubber, sometimes accompanied by
carcass deformation, is an evidence of
ageing. Old and aged tires shall be
checked by tire spec
ialists to ascertain
their suitability for further use.
WARNING
EWA10902
The front and rear tires should
be of the same make and de- sign, otherwise the handling
characteristics of the motorcy-
cle may be different, which
could lead to an accident.
Always make sure that the valve
caps are securely installed to
prevent air pressure leakage.
Use only the tire valves and
valve cores listed below toavoid tire deflation during a ride.
After extensive tests, only the tires list-
ed below have been approved for this
model by Yamaha.
WARNING
EWA10601
This motorcycle is fitted with su-
per-high-speed tires. Note the fol-
lowing points in order to make the
most efficient use of these tires.
Use only the specified replace-
ment tires. Other tires may run
the danger of bursting at super
high speeds.
Brand-new tires can have a rela-
tively poor grip on certain road
surfaces until they have been
“broken in”. Therefore, it is ad-
visable before doing any
high-speed riding to ride con-
servatively for approximately
100 km (60 mi) after installing a
new tire.
The tires must be warmed up
before a high-speed run.
Always adjust the tire air pres-
sure according to the operatingconditions.
