TIPIf the steering load is too heavy (e.g., exces-
sive steering use at slow speed or when op-
erating in deep mud, sand, or snow), the
power assist is reduced to protect the EPS
motor from overheating. EBU36713Half clutch indicator light “ ”
This indicator light comes on to inform the
driver when the clutch is partially engaged.
Normal, temporary partial-engagement oc-
curs when starting off or when shifting gears.
The indicator light may also come on during
engine braking or in other situations.
The electrical circuit of the indicator light can
be checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). If
the indicator light does not come on and then
go off, have a Yamaha dealer check the elec-
trical circuit.
TIPIf the indicator light stays on while driving, ei-
ther release the accelerator pedal or further
press down the accelerator pedal (release or
increase throttle) to fully engage or disengage
the clutch. NOTICEECB03351Do not use the throttle (accelerator pedal)
to hold the vehicle stationary when on an
incline or navigating obstacles. Continu-
ous operation while the indicator light is on
may lead to shortened clutch life. EBU36643Launch system indicator light “ ”
This indicator light comes on when the launch
system is activated. If the indicator light is
flashing, either a user error or system restric-
tion has been detected. See “Launch system
operation” on page 6-7 for more information.

clutch may stay engaged, so a shuddering
sensation may be felt when you come to a
stop. Stop the vehicle on level ground safely
off the main trail, and have the YCC-S system
serviced by a Yamaha dealer before further
operation.TIPIf shifting into neutral is impossible using the
shift paddles and drive select lever, proceed
as follows if it is necessary to move the vehi-
cle after it has stopped. 1. Turn the key to “ ” (off).
2. Remove panel B (page 8-10).
3. While rocking the vehicle back and forth, push the shift rod and shift arm pivot
downward (or upward if the transmission
was in reverse) until the transmission is in
neutral.
WARNING
EWB04171Turn the key to “ ” (off) before attempt-
ing to manipulate the shift rod. Other-
wise, the shift actuator may operate
unexpectedly and cause injury.
 Do not shift the transmission into neutral
if the vehicle is stopped on an incline un-
less the parking brake is applied or vehi-
cle movement is secured by other
means. Otherwise, when the transmis-1. Shift arm pivot

TIPSpring tension helps return the lever to the
released position.
 If you drive the vehicle with the parking
brake engaged, a buzzer will sound. EBU36632YCC-S systemThis vehicle is equipped with the Yamaha
Chip Controlled-Shift system (YCC-S) with
AUTO DOWNSHIFT. YCC-S allows the driver to operate the man-
ual transmission without having to operate
the clutch. AUTO DOWNSHIFT automatically
shifts the transmission into first gear when
coming to a stop under normal conditions.
The transmission is operated using the drive
select lever and the shift paddles. The drive
select lever is used to shift the transmission
into forward drive (first gear), neutral, and re-
verse gear. The shift paddles are used to shift
through the forward gears.
When the drive select lever or shift paddles
are moved, a signal is sent to the MCU (motor
control unit) which disengages the clutch, the
ECU (engine control unit) adjusts ignition tim-
ing, the gear shift is made, and then the clutch
is re-engaged once the engine is running at
proper speed. Clutch engagement is con-
trolled by the MCU according to engine
speed and other driving conditions.1. Release button

TIPThis is not an automatic transmission, only
the clutch system is automatic.
 The gears must be shifted by the driver, ex-
cept when AUTO DOWNSHIFT shifts the
transmission into first gear.
 See page 6-3 for more information on shift-
ing. EBU36651Drive select lever and shift paddleThe drive select lever is used to shift the
transmission into forward drive (first gear),
neutral, and reverse gear. Use the shift paddles to shift through the for-
ward gears. Pull and release the shift
paddle “ ” to shift up. Pull and release the
shift paddle “ ” to shift down.
