When the vehicle is turned on, traction
control is automatically turned on.
To turn the traction control system off,
see page 5-11.
TIP
Turn the traction control system off to
help free the rear wheel if the vehicle
gets stuck in mud, sand, or other soft
surfaces.
NOTICE
ECA16801
Use only the specified tires. (See
page 8-17.) Using different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controlling tire rotation
accurately.
Resetting the traction control sys-
tem
The traction control system will auto-
matically disable under certain condi-
tions; such as when a sensor fault is
detected, or when only one wheel is al-
lowed to rotate for more than a few sec-
onds. Should this happen, the “ ”
indicator light will come on, and possi-
bly the “ ” warning light, too.
TIP
When the vehicle is on the centerstand,
do not rev the engine for an extended
period of time. Otherwise, the traction
control system will automatically dis-
able and need to be reset.
If the traction control system automati-
cally disables, try resetting it as follows.
1. Stop the vehicle and turn it off completely.
2. Wait a few seconds and then turn the vehicle power on.
3. The “ ” indicator light should turn off and the system be enabled.
TIP
If the “ ” indicator light remains on af-
ter resetting, the vehicle may still be rid-
den; however, have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle as soon as possible.
4. Have a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle and turn off the “ ” warn-
ing light.

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
while riding, the brake system re-
verts to conventional braking. If ei-
ther of the above occurs, or if the

all, use extra caution to avoid possi-
ble wheel lock during emergency braking. Have a Yamaha dealer
check the brake system and electri-
cal circuits as soon as possible.

er on its centerstand, but this does not
indicate a malfunction.

tally 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.
