1 operator and may limit control
ability, therefore, such accesso-
ries are not recommended.
Use caution when adding electri-
cal accessories. If electrical ac-
cessories exceed the capacity of
the motorcycle’s electrical sys-
tem, an electric failure could re-
sult, which could cause a
dangerous loss of lights or engine
power.
Aftermarket Tires and Rims
The tires and rims that came with your
motorcycle were designed to match
the performance capabilities and to
provide the best combination of han-
dling, braking, and comfort. Other
tires, rims, sizes, and combinations
may not be appropriate. See page 6-21
for tire specifications and for informa-
tion on servicing and replacing your
tires.
Transporting the Motorcycle
Be sure to observe following instruc-
tions before transporting the motorcy-
cle in another vehicle.
Remove all loose items from the
motorcycle.
Check that the fuel cock (if
equipped) is in the off position and
that there are no fuel leaks.
Shift the transmission into gear
(for models with a manual trans-
mission).
Secure the motorcycle with tie-
downs or suitable straps that are
attached to solid parts of the mo-
torcycle, such as the frame or up-
per front fork triple clamp (and not,
for example, to rubber-mountedhandlebars or turn signals, or
parts that could break). Choose
the location for the straps carefully
so the straps will not rub against
painted surfaces during transport.
The suspension should be com-
pressed somewhat by the tie-
downs, if possible, so that the mo-
torcycle will not bounce exces-
sively during transport.

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.

TIP
The tire tread depth limits may differ
from country to country. Always com-
ply with the local regulations.
WARNING
EWA10472
Have a Yamaha dealer replace
excessively worn tires. Besides
being illegal, operating the vehi-
cle with excessively worn tires
decreases riding stability and
can lead to loss of control.
The replacement of all wheel
and brake-related parts, includ-
ing the tires, should be left to a
Yamaha dealer, who has the
necessary professional knowl-
edge and experience to do so.
Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire
surface must first be “broken
in” for it to develop its optimal
characteristics.
Tire informationThis model is equipped with tubeless
tires and tire air valves.
Tires age, even if they have not been
used or have only been used occasion-
ally. Cracking of the tread and sidewall
rubber, sometimes accompanied by
carcass deformation, is an evidence of
ageing. Old and aged tires shall be
checked by tire specialists to ascertain
their suitability for further use.
WARNING
EWA10902
The front and rear tires should
be of the same make and de-
sign, otherwise the handling
characteristics of the motorcy-
cle may be different, which
could lead to an accident.
Always make sure that the valve
caps are securely installed to
prevent air pressure leakage.
Use only the tire valves and
valve cores listed below to
avoid tire deflation during a ride.
After extensive tests, only the tires list-
ed below have been approved for this
model by Yamaha.
