EAU73913
Traction control systemThe traction control system (TCS)
helps maintain traction when accelerat-
ing on slippery surfaces, such as un-
paved or wet roads. If sensors detect
that the rear wheel is starting to slip (un-
controlled spinning), the traction control
system assists by regulating engine
power as needed until traction is re-
stored.
WARNING
EWA15432
The traction control system is not a
substitute for riding appropriately
for the conditions. Traction control
cannot prevent loss of traction due
to excessive speed when entering
turns, when accelerating hard at a
sharp lean angle, or while braking,
and cannot prevent front wheel slip-
ping. As with any motorcycle, ap-
proach surfaces that may be
slippery with caution and avoid es-pecially slippery surfaces. With the throttle closed, push this
switch down to change from TCS “1” or
“2” to “3”. Push up to change from TCS
“3” or “2” to “1”.
With the vehicle stopped, push this
switch up for two seconds to turn the
system off. Push down to turn the sys-
tem on.
TIPThe current TCS setting is shown in theTCS display (page 4-12).1. Traction control system switch “TCS”

12 The “ ” indicator light flashes when
traction control has engaged. You may
notice slight changes in engine and ex-
haust sounds when the system has en-
gaged.
In certain conditions, the traction con-
trol system may be automatically dis-
abled. Should this happen, both the
“ ” indicator light and the “ ” warn-
ing light will come on.
The TCS display (page 4-12) indicates
the current TCS setting. There are four
settings.
TCS “OFF”
TCS “OFF” turns the traction control system off.
TCS “1”
TCS “1” minimizes traction control sys-
tem assist. Select this mode for sporty
riding.
TCS “2”
TCS “2” provides a moderate level of
traction control assist. Select this mode
for standard street riding.
TCS “3”
TCS “3” maximizes traction control as-
sist; wheel spin is most strongly con-
trolled. Select this mode for rain,
slippery road conditions, and whenever
maximum traction control is desirable.
TIP
Traction control can be turned on
or off only when the vehicle is
stopped.

When the key is turned to “ON”,
traction control is turned on and
set to TCS “1”, “2” or “3” (whichev-
er was last selected).

Turn the traction control system off
to help free the rear wheel if the ve-
hicle gets stuck in mud, sand, or
other soft surfaces.
NOTICE
ECA16801
Use only the specified tires. (See
page 7-16.) Using different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controlling tire rotationaccurately.
Resetting the traction control sys-
tem
The traction control system will auto-
matically disable when:
the front wheel or rear wheel
comes off the ground while riding.

excessive rear wheel spin is de-
tected while riding.

either wheel is rotated with the key
turned to “ON” (such as when per-
forming maintenance).
If the traction control system is dis-
abled, both the “ ” indicator light and
the “ ” warning light will come on.
Should this occur, try resetting the sys-
tem as follows. 1. Stop the vehicle and turn the key to “OFF”.
1. Engine trouble warning light “ ”
2. Traction control system indicator light “”

3. The “ ” indicator light should turn off and the system be enabled.
TIPIf the “ ” indicator light remains on af-
ter resetting, the vehicle may still be rid-
den; however, have a Yamaha dealercheck the vehicle as soon as possible.
4. Have a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle and turn off the “ ” warn-
ing light.
EAU79480
Quick shift systemThe quick shift system (QS) allows for
full-throttle, clutch lever-less, electroni-
cally-assisted upshifts. When the shift
switch detects motion in the shift pedal
(page 4-16), engine power and drive
torque are momentarily adjusted to al-
low the upshift to occur.TIP
The quick shift system operates
when traveling at least 20 km/h (12
mi/h) with an engine speed of 2000
r/min or higher, and only when ac-
celerating.

It does not operate when the clutchlever is pulled.

If the warning light comes on when
the engine is running, stop the en-
gine immediately and check oil level.
If the oil level is below the minimum
level, add sufficient oil of the recom-
mended type to raise it up to the cor-
rect level. If the oil pressure warning
light remains on even if the oil level
is correct, immediately turn the en-
gine off and have a Yamaha dealercheck the vehicle.TIPIf the warning light does not go off after

diator.

If the engine overheats, see page7-36 for further instructions.
EAU73171
Engine trouble warning light “ ”

comes on or flashes while riding

does not go off after traveling at a
speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or higher
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 4-18 for an expla-
nation of the ABS.)WARNING
EWA16041
If the ABS warning light does not go
off after traveling at a speed of 10
km/h (6 mi/h) or higher, or if the
warning light comes on or flashes

EAU73120
Immobilizer system indicator light
“”
When the key is turned to “OFF” and 30
seconds have passed, the indicator
light will flash steadil
y to indicate the im-
mobilizer system is enabled. After 24
hours have passed, the indicator light
will stop flashing, however the immobi-
lizer system is still enabled. The electrical circui
t 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.
TIPIf the immobilizer system indicator light
flashes in the pattern, slowly 5 times
then quickly 2 times, this could be
caused by transponder interference. Ifthis occurs, try the following.
1. Make sure there are no other im- mobilizer keys close to the main
switch. Other immobilizer system
keys may cause signal interfer-
ence and prevent the engine from
starting.
2. Use the code re-registering key to start the engine.
3. If the engine starts, turn it off, and
