gine damage, replenish the engine oil
as soon as possible.
Even if the oil level is sufficient, the
warning light may flicker when riding on
a slope or during sudden acceleration
or deceleration, but this is not a mal-
function. If a problem is detected in the
oil level detection circuit, the oil level
warning light will flash repeatedly. If this
occurs, have a Yamaha dealer check
the vehicle.
TIPWhen the vehicle is turned on, this light
will come on for a few seconds and

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.
EAU78591
Traction control system indicator
light “TCS”
This indicator light will flash when trac-
tion control has engaged.
If the traction control system is turned
off, this indicator light will come on. (See page 3-17.)
TIPWhen the vehicle is turned on, the light
should come on for a few seconds and
then go off. If the light does not come
on, or if the light remains on, have aYamaha dealer check vehicle.
EAUM3621
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 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 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 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.

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.

EAU74351
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
EWA15433
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 vehicle, approach
surfaces that may be slippery with
caution and avoid especially slip-pery surfaces.
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, the “ ”
indicator light and the “ ” warning
light will come on.
The TCS display (page 3-8) indicates
the current TCS setting. There are
three settings.
TCS “OFF”
TCS “OFF” turns the traction control
system off.
TCS “1”
TCS “1” minimizes traction control sys-
tem assist.
TCS “2”
TCS “2” maximizes traction control as-
sist; wheel spin is most strongly con-
trolled.
TIP
Use the traction control switch
(page 3-13) to change TCS set-
tings.
