“MPG” shows the number of miles
traveled per Imp.gallon of fuel.
TIP
See “Selecting the units” on page 3-19
to change the kilometer-based fuel
consumption units or to switch to
miles.
To reset the average fuel consumption,
push the “RESET” button briefly so
that the average fuel consumption dis-
play flashes, and then push and hold
the “RESET” button for 2 seconds.
TIP
After resetting the average fuel con-
sumption, “_ _._” will be shown until
the vehicle has traveled 1 km (0.6 mi).
NOTICE
ECA15474
If there is a malfunction, “– –.–” will
be continuously displaye d. Have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
Instantaneous fuel consumption:
This function calculates the instanta-
neous fuel consumption under current
riding conditions. The instantaneous
fuel consumption can be displayed as
“km/L”, “L/100km” or “MPG”.
“km/L” shows the number of kilo-
meters traveled on one liter of fuel.
“L/100km” shows how many liters
of fuel is needed to travel 100 km.
“MPG” shows the number of miles
traveled per Imp.gallon of fuel.
TIP
See “Selecting the units” on page
3-19 to change the kilometer-
based fuel consumption units or
to switch to miles.
When traveling under 10 km/h (6
mi/h), “_ _._” will be displayed.

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 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 vehicle, approach
surfaces that may be slippery with
caution an d avoi d especially slip-
pery surfaces.
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.
