Brake pedal
The brake pedal is located on the right
side of the vehicle.
This model is equipped with a unified
brake system.
When pressing down on the brake
pedal, the rear brake and a portion of
the front brake are applied. For full
braking performance, apply both the
brake lever and the brake pedal simul-
taneously.
EAU73181
ABS
This model’s anti-lock brake system
(ABS) features a dual electronic control
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 ped-
al. In this situation, continue to apply
the brakes and let the ABS work; do
not “pump” the brakes as this will re-
duce 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 with
the 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 “click-
ing” noise may be heard from the
hydraulic control unit, and if the
brake lever or brake pedal is even
slightly applied, a vibration can be
felt at the lever and pedal, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.

3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 op-
erating. However, special tools are
required, so please consult your
Yamaha dealer.
NOTICE
ECA16831
Keep any type of magnets (including
magnetic pick-up tools, magnetic
screwdrivers, etc.) away from the
front and rear wheel hubs; other-
wise, the magnetic rotors equipped
in the wheel hubs may be damaged,
resulting in improper performance
of the ABS and the unified brake
system.
EAU54274
Traction control system
The traction control system helps
maintain traction when accelerating on
slippery surfaces, such as unpaved or
wet roads. If sensors detect that the
rear wheel is starting to slip (uncon-
trolled spinning), the traction control
system assists by reducing engine
power until traction is restored.
TIP
The TCS indicator light will flash to
let you know that traction control
has engaged.
Slight changes in engine and ex-
haust sound may also be notice-
able.
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.

3 Turning TCS off or on
When the vehicle is turned on, the trac-
tion control system automatically turns
on.
To turn off the traction control system,
stop the vehicle and push the traction
control system button for 2 seconds.
The TCS indicator light will come on.
To turn traction control back on, push
the TCS button again. The TCS indica-
tor light will turn off.
TIP
Turn off traction control to help free the
rear wheel if stuck in mud, sand, or
other situation.
Notes on usage
The traction control system will dis-
abled if:
either wheel comes off the
ground.
excessive rear wheel spin is de-
tected.
either wheel is forcibly rotated
(such as when performing mainte-
nance).
TIP
If the traction control system is dis-
abled, both the TCS indicator light and
the engine trouble warning light will
come on.
NOTICE
ECA16801
Use only the specified tires. (See
page 6-21.) Using different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controlling tire rotation
accurately.
To reset the traction control system
1. Turn the vehicle off and wait a few
seconds.
2. Turn the vehicle on and start the
engine.
3. After traveling at least 20 km/h (12
mph), the TCS indicator light
should turn off and the system be
enabled.
4. Have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle and turn off the engine
trouble warning light.
TIP
If the TCS indicator light or engine trou-
ble warning light remain on after reset-
ting, ride cautiously and have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle as
soon as possible.

Fuel
Make 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, follow
these 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.1. Fuel tank cap lock cover
