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
warning light does not come on at
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.
EAU67432
Shift indicator light
This indicator light comes on when it is
time to shift to the next higher gear. The
engine speeds at which it comes on or
goes off can be adjusted. (See
page 4-24.)
As a self-check, the light will come on
briefly when the vehicle is first powered
on.
EAU73120
Immobilizer system indicator light
“”
When the key is turned to “OFF” and 30
seconds have passed, the indicator
light will flash steadily 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 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.TIPIf the immobilizer system indicator light
flashes in the pattern, slowly 5 times
then quickly 2 time s, this could be
caused by transponder interference. If
this 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 try starting the engine with the
standard keys.
4. If one or both of the standard keys do not start the engine, take the
vehicle and all 3 keys to a Yamaha
dealer to have the standard keys
re-registered.
EAU65980
Stability control indicator light “SC”
This indicator light comes on when the
TCS, SCS, or LIF systems have en-
gaged. It will also come on if the TCS is
set to “OFF” or if the TCS system be-
comes disabled while riding.
The electrical circuit of the light can be
checked by turning the key to “ON”.
The light should come on for a few sec-
onds and then go off. If the light does

Oil pressure and coolant tempera-
ture warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on if the en-
gine oil pressure is low or if the coolant
temperature is high. If this occurs, stop
the engine immediately.
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by turning the key to
“ON”. The warning light should come
on again after going off briefly, and then
remain on until the engine is started. If
the warning light does not come on ini-
tially when the key is turned to “ON”,
have a Yamaha dealer check the elec-
trical circuit.NOTICE
ECA22441
If the oil pressure and coolant warn-
ing light does not go off after start-
ing the engine or if it comes on while
the engine is running, stop the vehi-
cle and engine immediately.
If the engine is overheating, the coolant temperature warning
icon will come on. Let the en-
gine cool. Check the coolant
level (see page 7-38).

If the engine oil pressure is low,
the oil pressure warning icon
will come on. Check the oil level
(see page 7-12).

If the warning light remains on
after letting the engine cool and
confirming the proper oil level,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle. Do not continue to op-erate the vehicle!
EAU83700
Auxiliary system warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on if a prob-
lem is detected in a non-engine-related

Transmission gear display
This shows which gear the transmis-
sion is in. This model has 6 gears and a
neutral position. The neutral position is
indicated by the neutral indicator light
“ ” and by the transmission gear dis-
play “ ”.
Front brake pressure indicator
This shows how much braking power is
being applied to the front brakes.
Acceleration indicator
This shows the vehicle’s forward accel-
eration and deceleration forces.
Revolution peak hold indicator
This small bar momentarily appears
within the tachometer to mark the most
recent peak engine speed.
YRC items MODE/PWR/TCS/SCS
The current MODE (YRC mode) and its
related PWR, TCS and SCS settings
are shown here. The individual settings for YRC items
PWR, TCS, SCS, LCS, QSS and LIF
can be organized into four groups and
set independently for each group.
These groups of settings are the YRC
modes MODE-A, MODE-B, MODE-C,
and MODE-D. Use the mode switch to
change YRC modes or make YRC item
setting changes from the main screen.
TIPThe YRC modes come preset from the
factory for different riding conditions.
When using the factory presets, the
suggested YRC modes are as follows.
MODE-A is suitable for track rid-
ing.

MODE-B is a softer track-riding
setting.

MODE-C is suitable for street rid-
ing.

MODE-D is suitable for touring orrainy weather.
To change YRC modes or make setting
changes1. Push the mode switch center but- ton to scroll left to right and high-
light the item you want to adjust. 2. Use the mode switch up button or
down button to change the select-
ed item value (vertical scrolling is
not possible).
TIP
Under certain conditions, such as
when the vehicle is in motion, the
throttle grip is turned, excessive
wheel slip is detected, etc., certain
YRC items cannot be adjusted.

When a YRC item is highlighted
but cannot be adjusted, the YRCitem box will return to black.

12 Coolant temperature warning “ ”
This icon appears if the coolant temper-
ature reaches 117 
C (242 F) or high-
er. Stop the vehicle and turn off the
engine. Allow the engine to cool.
NOTICE
ECA10022
Do not continue to operate the en-gine if it is overheating.
Oil pressure warning “ ”
This icon appears when the engine oil
pressure is low. When the main switch
is first turned to ON, engine oil pressure
has yet to build, so this icon will come
on and stay on until the engine has
been started. NOTICE
ECA21210
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 dealer
check the vehicle.
Error mode warning “Err”
When an internal error occurs (e.g.,
communication with a system controller
has been cut off), the error mode warn-
ing will appear as follows.
“Err” and “ ” indicates an ECU error.
“Err” and “ ” indicates an SCU error.
“Err” only indicates an HCU (hydraulic
control unit) error.TIPDepending on the nature of the error,
the display may not function properly
and YRC settings may be impossible to
change. Additionally, ABS and UBS
may not function properly. Use extra
care when braking and have a Yamahadealer check the vehicle immediately.
