D-mode (drive mode)D-mode is an electronically controlled
engine performance system with three
mode selections: “STD”, “A”, and “B”.
Push the drive mode switch “MODE” to
switch between modes. (See
page 3-15.)TIPBefore using D-mode, make sure you
understand its operation along with theoperation of the drive mode switch.
Mode “STD”
Mode “STD” is suitable for various rid-
ing conditions.
This mode allows the rider to enjoy smooth and sporty drivability from the
low-speed range to the high-speed
range.
Mode “A”
Mode “A” offers a sportier engine re-
sponse in the low- to mid-speed range
compared to mode “STD”.
Mode “B”
Mode “B” offers response that is some-
what less sharp compared to mode
“STD” for riding situations that require
especially sensitive throttle operation.1. Drive mode switch “MODE”

ABSThe Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con-
trol system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently.
Operate the brakes with ABS as you
would conventional brakes. If the ABS
is activated, a pulsating sensation may
be felt at the brake lever or brake pedal.
In this situation, continue to apply the
brakes and let the ABS work; do not
“pump” the brakes as this will reduce
braking effectiveness.
WARNING
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient distance
from the vehicle ahead to match the
riding speed even with ABS.
The ABS performs best with
long braking distances.
On certain surfaces, such as
rough or gravel roads, the brak-
ing distance may be longer withthe ABS than without.
The ABS is monitored by an ECU,
which will revert the system to conven-
tional braking if a malfunction occurs.
TIP
The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test each time the vehicle first
starts off after the key is turned to
“ON” and the vehicle has traveled
at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or
higher. During this test, a “clicking”
noise can be heard from the hy-
draulic control unit, and if the brake
lever or brake pedal is even slight-
ly applied, a vibration can be felt at
the lever and pedal, but these do
not indicate a malfunction.
This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience the
pulsation at the brake lever or
brake pedal when the ABS is oper-
ating. However, special tools are
required, so please consult yourYamaha dealer.
NOTICE
ECA20100
Be careful not to damage the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of theABS will result.

When the key is turned to “ON”,
traction control is turned on and
set to TCS “1” or “2” (whichever
was last selected).
Turn the traction control system off
to help free the rear wheel if the ve-
hicle gets stuck in mud, sand, orother soft surfaces.
NOTICE
ECA16801
Use only the specified tires. (See
page 6-15.) 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”.
2. Wait a few seconds and then turn key back “ON”.
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.

Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly closed after filling fuel.Leaking fuel is a fire hazard.
EAU13222
FuelMake sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, followthese instructions. 1. Before refueling, turn off the en- gine and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters and
clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler
hole. Stop filling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the filler
tube. Because fuel expands when
it heats up, heat from the engine or
the sun can cause fuel to spill out
of the fuel tank. 3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately. NOTICE: Immediately wipe
off spilled fuel with a clean, dry,
soft cloth, since fuel may deteri-
orate painted surfaces or plastic
parts.
[ECA10072]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel tank cap.
WARNING

Gasoline is poisonous and can
cause injury or death. Handle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gaso-
line by mouth. If you should swallow
