5. Check behind you, then release the brakepedal and press the accelerator pedal
gradually.
6. Continue to watch to the rear while driv- ing in reverse.EBU36733Launch system operationThe launch system allows you to start off at a
higher engine speed, and thus have a higher
initial acceleration rate than normal operation.
Only use the launch system on level ground
with a clear and safe path ahead of you.TIPThe launch system will be prevented from op-
erating if any of the following conditions are
present:
the engine is not warmed up or is overheat-
ing.
 the driver seat belt is not latched.
 the differential gear is locked (“DIFF LOCK”
is selected) or the differential gear lock indi-
cator is flashing. 
the parking brake is applied.
 an engine or system malfunction is detect-
ed (a warning light is on).
To activate the launch system1. Confirm that the front wheels and steer-
ing wheel are pointed straight ahead.
2. Shift the transmission into first gear.
3. While pressing the brake pedal, pull both
shift paddles toward you and hold them
in that position. The launch system indi-
cator light will come on, and the launch
system enters standby mode.

4. While checking in front of you for obsta-cles or anything that may cross your
path, release the brake pedal, and then
press the accelerator pedal to rev the en-
gine to the desired launch engine speed.TIPThe engine speed at launch must be be-
tween 5000–10000 r/min.
 If you release one shift paddle, or if a sys-
tem restriction is detected during standby
mode, the launch system indicator light will
begin to flash and the launch will be can-
celled.
 If the indicator light is flashing, release the
accelerator pedal and let the engine return
to idle speed. When the indicator light goes
off, you may start off normally or retry acti-
vating the launch system. 5. When ready, release both shift paddles at
the same time and further press the ac-
celerator pedal to launch the vehicle.
TIPWhen the clutch has completely engaged, the
launch system and the launch system indica-
tor light will turn off. NOTICEECB03430Do not make consecutive launches with-
out allowing the clutch to cool down. Oth-
erwise, the clutch system may be
damaged.

EBU36620Brake light switchThe brake light, which is activated by the
brake pedal, should come on just before
braking takes effect. Since the brake light
switch is a component of the YCC-S system,
it must be adjusted by a Yamaha dealer, who
has the necessary professional knowledge
and experience.EBU35930Cable inspection and lubrication
WARNING
EWB03380Damaged cables could restrict operation,
which may cause an accident or injury. In-
spect control cables frequently and re-
place damaged cables. Corrosion can
result when the outer covering of control
cables becomes damaged. Cables can
also become frayed or kinked.

EBU35271Tail/brake lightThis model is equipped with an LED tail/brake
light, there are no replaceable bulbs.
If the tail/brake light does not come on, check
the fuses, and then have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.EBU32700TroubleshootingAlthough Yamaha vehicles receive an inspec-
tion before shipment from the factory, trouble
may occur during operation. Any problem inthe fuel, compression, or ignition systems can
cause poor starting and loss of power. The
troubleshooting chart describes a quick, easy
procedure for making checks. If your vehicle
requires any repair, take it to a Yamaha deal-
er.
The skilled technicians at a Yamaha dealer-
ship have the tools, experience, and know-
how to properly service your vehicle. Use only
genuine Yamaha parts on your vehicle. Imita-
tion parts may look like Yamaha parts, but
they are often inferior. Consequently, they
have a shorter service life and can lead to ex-
pensive repair bills.
WARNING
EWB03450When checking the fuel system, do not
smoke and make sure there are no open
flames or sparks in the area, including pilot
lights from water heaters or furnaces.
