from the actual ambient temperature.
TIP
When the air temperature is below
–9 C, “Lo” will be displayed.

The accuracy of the temperature
reading may be affected when
riding slowly (under 20 km/h [12
mi/h]) or when stopped at trafficsignals, railroad crossings, etc. Clock

Brake pedalThe brake pedal is located on the right
side of the motorcycle. To apply the
rear brake, press down on the brake
pedal.
EAU63040
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 br akes. 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.

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” 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 6-16.) 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”.
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.

not properly closed and locked.
WARNING
EWA11092
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
EWA15152
Gasoline is poisonous and can
cause injury or death. Handle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gaso-
line by mouth. If you should swallow

oline vapor, or get some gasoline in1. Fuel tank filler tube

Fuel tank breather hose and
overflow hoseBefore operating the vehicle:
check each hose connection.

check each hose for damage. Re-
place if necessary.

confirm the end of each hose is not
blocked. Clean if necessary.

EAU13434
Catalytic converterThis model is equipped with a catalytic
converter in the exhaust system.
WARNING
EWA10863
The exhaust system is hot after op-
eration. To prevent a fire hazard or
burns:
Do not park the vehicle near
possible fire hazards such as
grass or other materials that
easily burn.

Park the vehicle in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch the hot
exhaust system.

Make sure that the exhaust sys-
tem has cooled down before do-
ing any maintenance work.

Do not allow the engine to idle
more than a few minutes. Long
idling can cause a build-up ofheat.
NOTICE
ECA10702
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause unre- pairable damage to the catalytic
converter.

CanisterThis model is equipped with a canister
to prevent the discharging of fuel vapor
into the atmosphere. Before operating
this vehicle, make sure to check the fol-
lowing:

Engine oilThe engine oil level should be checked
regularly. In addition, the oil must be
changed and the oil filter cartridge re-
placed at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance chart.NOTICE
ECA11621

In order to prevent clutch slip-
page (since the engine oil also
lubricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives. Do
not use oils with a diesel speci-
fication of “CD” or oils of a high-
er quality than specified. In
addition, do not use oils labeled
“ENERGY CONSERVING II” or
higher.

Make sure that no foreign mate-rial enters the crankcase. To check the engine oil level
1. After warming up the engine, wait a few minutes for the oil level to
settle for an accurate reading.
2. With the vehicle on a level surface, hold it upright for an accurate read-
ing.
3. Look at the check window located at the bottom-right side of the
crankcase.
TIPThe engine oil should be between theminimum and maximum level marks.

Brake light switchesThe brake light should come on just be-
fore braking takes effect. The brake
light is activated by switches connected
to the brake lever and brake pedal.
Since the brake light switches are com-
ponents of the anti-lock brake system,
they should only be serviced by a
Yamaha dealer.

Checking the front and rear
brake padsThe front and rear brake pads must be
checked for wear at the intervals spec-
ified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
EAU36891
Front brake pads
Each front brake pad is provided with
wear indicators, which allows you to
check the brake pad wear without hav-
ing to disassemble the brake. To check
the brake pad wear, check the position
of the wear indicators while applying
the brake. If a brake pad has worn to
the point that a wear indicator almost touches the brake disc, have a Yamaha
dealer replace the brake pads as a set.
EAU46292
Rear brake pads
Each rear brake pad is provided with
wear indicator grooves, which allow
you to check the brake pad wear with-
out having to disassemble the brake.
To check the brake pad wear, check
the wear indicator grooves. If a brake
pad has worn to the point that a wear
indicator groove almost appears, have
a Yamaha dealer replace the brake
pads as a set.
