The electrical circuit of the warning
light can be checked by turning the key
to “ON”. The warning light should
come on for a few seconds, and then
go off.
If the warning light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ON”,
or if the warning light remains on, have
a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.EAU69891ABS warnin
g li ght “ ”
In normal operation, this warning light
comes on when the key is turned to
“ON”, and goes off after traveling at a
speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or higher.
If the ABS warning light:  does not come on when the key is
turned to “ON”
 comes on or flashes while riding
 does not go off after traveling at a
speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or high-
er
The ABS may not work correctly. If any
of the above occurs, have a Yamaha
dealer check the system as soon as
possible. (See page 3-28 for an expla-
nation of the ABS.)
WARNING
EWA16041
If the ABS warnin g li ght does not go
off after travelin g at a speed of 10
km/h (6 mi/h) or hi gher, or if the
warnin g li ght comes on or flashes
while ri din g, the b rake system re-
verts to conventional brakin g. If ei-
ther of the ab ove occurs, or if the
warnin g li ght does not come on at
all, use extra caution to avoi d possi-
b le wheel lock durin g emer gency b

check the brake system an d electri-
cal circuits as soon as possi ble.
EAU74082Traction control system in dicator
li g ht “ ”
This indicator light will flash when trac-
tion control has engaged.
If the traction control system is turned
off, this indicator light will come on.
TIP
When the vehicle is turned on, the light
should come on for a few seconds and
then go off. If the light does not come
on, or if the light remains on, have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
EAU55393Suspension system warnin g
li g ht “ ”
This warning light comes on if a prob-
lem is detected in the electronically ad-
justable suspension system.
TIP
When the vehicle is turned on, the light
should come on for a few seconds and
then go off. If the light does not come
on, or if the light remains on, have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
EAU55431Shift down in dicator li ght “ ”
This indicator light flashes when the
transmission gear is too high for the
vehicle speed.
To avoid damaging the YCC-S clutch,
the shift down indicator light flashes
when it is necessary to downshift. If
this occurs, downshift until the indica-
tor light stops flashing.

EAU55442YCC-S system warnin g li ght “ ”
If this warning light comes on while rid-
ing, the YCC-S system may not work
correctly. If this occurs:  It may be impossible to shift out of
the gear you are in.
 The clutch may stay engaged, so
a shuddering sensation may be
felt as you come to a stop.
Stop the vehicle when it is safe to do
so, and park it away from traffic. Have
a Yamaha dealer check the YCC-S
system.
TIP
In order to be able to move the vehicle
after it has stopped, if shifting is impos-
sible using the hand shift lever and shift
pedal, proceed as follows:
Place the vehicle on the centerstand,
then while rotating the rear wheel, push
the shift pedal rod and shift pedal rod
pivot forward until the transmission is
in the neutral position.
The electrical circuit of the warning
light can be checked by turning the key
to “ON”. The warning light should
come on for a few seconds, and then
go off. If the warning light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ON”,
or if the warning light remains on, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.
EAU55452Stop mo
de in dicator li ght “ ”
This indicator light comes on when the
stop mode function is activated.
If the stop mode function fails to shift
down, the indicator light will flash.
See page 3-24 for an explanation of
the stop mode function.
EAU73120Immo bilizer system in dicator
li g ht “ ”
When the key is turned to “OFF” and
30 seconds have passed, the indicator
light will flash steadily to indicate the
immobilizer system is enabled. After 24
hours have passed, the indicator light
will stop flashing, however the immobi-
lizer system is still enabled.
The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked by turning the key
to “ON”. The indicator light should
come on for a few seconds, and then
go off.
If the indicator light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ON”,
if the indicator light remains on, or if the
indicator light flashes in a pattern (if a
problem is detected in the immobilizer
system, the immobilizer system indica-
tor light will flash in a pattern), have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.

3 “F” (full) towards “E” (empty) as the fuel
level decreases. When the last seg-
ment starts flashing, refuel as soon as
possible.
When the key is turned to “ON”, all dis-
play segments come on once in order
to test the electrical circuit.
TIP
If a problem is detected in the fuel me-
ter electrical circuit, the fuel meter dis-
play segments will flash repeatedly.
Have a Yamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle.
Eco in
dicator
This indicator comes on when the vehi-
cle is being operated in an environ-
mentally friendly, fuel-efficient manner.
The indicator goes off when the vehicle
is stopped.
TIP
Consider the following tips to reduce
fuel consumption:  Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
 Travel at a constant speed.
 Select the transmission gear that
is appropriate for the vehicle
speed.
Transmission gear display
This display shows the selected gear.
The neutral position is indicated
by “ ” and by the neutral indicator
light “ ”.
To avoid damaging the YCC-S clutch,
the shift down indicator light flashes
when it is necessary to downshift. If
this occurs, downshift until the display
stops flashing.
Drive mo de display
This display indicates which drive
mode has been selected: Touring
mode “T” or sports mode “S”. For

WARNING
EWA15341
Do not chan ge the D-mo de while the
vehicle is movin g.
Using this switch changes the drive
mode to touring mode “T” or sports
mode “S”.
The throttle grip must be completely
closed in order to change the drive mo-
de.
The selected mode is shown on the
drive mode display. (See page 3-12.)
The drive mode cannot be changed
while the cruise control system is oper-
ating.
EAU55492
YCC-S system
The Yamaha Chip Controlled-Shift
(YCC-S) system allows you to shift
gears without a clutch lever. Further-
more, a shift lever is equipped on the
handlebar, allowing you to shift gears
with either the foot-operated shift ped-
al or the hand-operated shift lever.
When the engine is running and the
shift pedal or the shift lever is moved,
an electronic signal is sent to the MCU
which disengages the clutch, the ECU
adjusts the throttle valve, the gear shift
is made, and then the clutch is re-en-
gaged.
This is not an automatic transmission,
only the clutch system is automatic.
Gear shifts must still be made by the
rider.
TIP
 Optimal clutch engagement is cal-
culated by the MCU according to
engine speed, vehicle speed, and
other factors.
 See also Stop mode switch (page
3-24) and Shifting (page 5-3) for
more information.

 ECU: engine control unit

EAU55482
Shiftin g
Shifting gears lets you control the
amount of engine power available for
starting off, accelerating, climbing hills,
etc.
The gears can be shifted using either
the shift pedal or the hand shift lever.
Refer to page 3-25 for an explanation
of the YCC-S system, to page 3-26 for
the shift pedal operation, and to page
3-27 for the hand shift lever operation.
The gear positions are shown in the il-
lustration.
TIP
To shift the transmission into the
neutral position, press the shift
pedal down repeatedly, or push the “ ” side of the hand shift lever
repeatedly until the neutral indica-
tor light comes on.
 When shifting from neutral to 1st
gear, the engine speed must be
lower than approximately 1300
r/min and the sidestand must be
up.
 Shifting up is impossible if the en-
gine speed is too low.
 Shifting down is impossible if the
engine speed is too high.
 To avoid damaging the YCC-S
clutch, the shift down indicator
light flashes when it is necessary
to downshift. If this occurs, down-
shift until the indicator light stops
flashing.
 When the stop mode function is
activated, the transmission auto-
matically shifts down when com-
ing to a stop.
NOTICE
ECA17951
Even with the transmission in the
neutral position, d o not coast for
lon g period s of time with the eng ine
off, an d d o not tow the vehicle for
lon g d istances. The transmission is
properly lu bricated only when the
en gine is runnin g. Ina dequate lu bri-
cation may d amage the transmis-
sion.
