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
EWB04171Turn 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

accident, serious injury or death. EBU31360Helmet indicator light “ ”
The indicator light comes on and stays on
while the key is turned to “ ” (on) to remind
the occupants to always wear a helmet. If the
indicator light does not come on when the key
is turned to “ ” (on), have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.EBU31370Seat belt indicator light “ ”
The indicator light comes on when the key is
turned to “ ” (on) to remind the occupants
to fasten their seat belt. The indicator light
stays on until the driver seat belt is properly
latched. If the indicator light does not come
on when the key is turned to “ ” (on), or if
the indicator light remains on after the driver
seat belt is properly latched, have a Yamaha
dealer check the electrical circuit.

The speedometer shows the vehicle’s travel-
ing speed. The speedometer can be set to
“MPH” or “km/h”. This also changes the
odometer and tripmeter units between miles
and kilometers. To change the display be-
tween “MPH” and “km/h”, turn the key
to “ ” (off), then hold the “SELECT” button
pushed and turn the key to “ ” (on).

Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the amount of fuel in
the fuel tank. The display segments of the fuel
gauge disappear from “F” (full) towards “E”
(empty) as the fuel level decreases. When the
last segment on the left disappears and the
fuel level warning indicator flashes, refuel as
soon as possible.
TIPThis fuel gauge is equipped with a self-diag-
nosis system. If a problem is detected in an
electrical circuit, all the display segments and
fuel level warning indicator start flashing. If
this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit. Transmission gear display

TIPSpring 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

TIPThis 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.
