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.)

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.

Brake ped al
The brake pedal is located on the right
side of the motorcycle. To apply the
rear brake, press down on the brake
pedal.
TIP
Resistance and vibration may be felt in
the brake pedal while the front brake is
being applied and the unified brake
system is enabled, but this does not in-
dicate a malfunction.
EAU73181
ABS
This model’s anti-lock brake system
(ABS) features a dual electronic control
system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently.
Operate the brakes with ABS as you
would conventional brakes. If the ABS
is activated, a pulsating sensation may
be felt at the brake lever or brake ped-
al. In this situation, continue to apply
the brakes and let the ABS work; do
not “pump” the brakes as this will re-
duce braking effectiveness.
WARNING
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient d istance
from the vehicle ahead to match the
ri din g speed even with ABS.
 The ABS performs b est with
lon g b rakin g d istances.
 On certain surfaces, such as
rou gh or g ravel roa ds, the b rak-
in g d istance may be lon ger with
the ABS than without.
The ABS is monitored by an ECU,
which will revert the system to conven-
tional braking if a malfunction occurs.
TIP
 The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test each time the vehicle first
starts off after the key is turned to
“ON” and the vehicle has traveled
at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or
higher. During this test, a “click-
ing” noise may be heard from the
hydraulic control unit, and if the
brake lever or brake pedal is even
slightly applied, a vibration can be
felt at the lever and pedal, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.


This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience
the pulsation at the brake lever or
brake pedal when the ABS is op-
erating. However, special tools are
required, so please consult your
Yamaha dealer.
NOTICE
ECA16831
Keep any type of mag nets (includin g
ma gnetic pick-up tools, mag netic
screwd rivers, etc.) away from the
front an d rear wheel hu bs; other-
wise, the ma gnetic rotors equippe d
in the wheel hu bs may b e damag ed ,
resultin g in improper performance
of the ABS an d the unified b rake
system.
EAU58953
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.
WARNING
EWA15433
The traction control system is not a
su bstitute for ri din g appropriately
for the con ditions. Traction control
cannot prevent loss of traction d ue
to excessive spee d when enterin g
turns, when acceleratin g har d at a
sharp lean an gle, or while b raking,
an d cannot prevent front wheel slip-
pin g. As with any vehicle, approach
surfaces that may be slippery with
caution an d avoi d especially slip-
pery surfaces.

3 The traction control system indicator
light flashes when traction control has
engaged. You may notice slight chang-
es in engine and exhaust sounds when
the system has engaged.
When the vehicle is turned on, the trac-
tion control system is turned on and
set to “TCS 1”. The traction control
system modes are as follows.
“TCS 1”
: Default mode
“TCS 2” : Sporty mode
This mode decreases traction control
system assist, allowing the rear wheel
to spin more freely than “TCS 1”.
“TCS OFF” : The traction control sys-
tem is turned off. The system may also
be automatically disabled in some rid-
ing conditions.
TIP
Use the mode “TCS OFF” to help free
the rear wheel if the motorcycle gets
stuck in mud, sand, or other soft sur-
faces.
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.
Settin g the traction control system
WARNING
EWA15441

Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, follow
these instructions.
1. Before refueling, turn off the en-gine and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters
and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler
hole. Stop filling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the filler
tube. Because fuel expands when
it heats up, heat from the engine or
the sun can cause fuel to spill out
of the fuel tank. 3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately. NOTICE: Immediately
wipe off spilled fuel with a clean,
dry, soft cloth, since fuel may
deteriorate painted surfaces or
plastic parts.
[ECA10072]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel tank cap.
WARNING
EWA15152
Gasoline is poisonous and can cau-
se injury or death. Handle gasoline
with care. Never siphon gasoline by
mouth. If you should swallow some
gasoline or inhale a lot of gasoline
vapor, or get some gasoline in your
eyes, see your doctor immediately. If
gasoline spills on your skin, wash
with soap and water. If gasoline
spills on your clothing, change your
clothes.
