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 an d 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 6-20
for tire specifications and for informa-
tion on servicing and replacing your
tires.
Transportin g 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-mounted handlebars 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.

Immo bilizer system
This vehicle is equipped with an immo-
bilizer system to help prevent theft by
re-registering codes in the standard
keys. This system consists of the fol-
lowing:
a code re-registering key
two standard keys
a transponder (in each key)
an immobilizer unit (on the vehicle)
an ECU (on the vehicle)
a system indicator light (page 3-5)
A bout the keys
The code re-registering key acts like a
master key. It is used to register codes
in each standard key. Store the code
re-registering key in a safe place. Use
a standard key for daily operation.
When key replacement or re-register-
ing is necessary, bring the vehicle and
the master key along with any remain-
ing standard keys to a Yamaha dealer
to have them re-registered.
TIP
Keep the standard keys as well as
keys of other immobilizer systems
away from the code re-registering
key.
Keep other immobilizer system
keys away from the main switch
as they may cause signal interfer-
ence.
NOTICE
ECA11823
DO NOT LOSE THE CODE RE-REG-
ISTERING KEY! CONTACT YOUR
DEALER IMMEDIATELY IF IT IS
LOST! If the co de re-re gisterin g key
is lost, the existin g stan dar d keys
can still be used to start the vehicle.
However, re gisterin g a new stan-
d ar d key is impossi ble. If all keys
have been lost or damag ed , the en-
tire immo bilizer system must be re-
placed . Therefore, han dle the keys
carefully. Do not su bmerse in water.
Do not expose to hi gh tempera-
tures.
Do not place near mag nets.
Do not place near items that
transmit electrical sig nals.
Do not han dle rou ghly.
Do not grin d or alter.
Do not disassem ble.
Do not put two keys of any im-
mo bilizer system on the same
key rin g.

3 Using this switch changes the drive
mode to touring mode “T” or sports
mode “S”.
The throttle grip must be completely
closed in order to change the drive mo-
de.
The selected mode is shown on the
drive mode display. (See page 3-11.)
The drive mode cannot be changed
while the cruise control system is oper-
ating.

YCC-S system
The Yamaha Chip Controlled-Shift
(YCC-S) system allows you to shift
gears without a clutch lever. Further-
more, a shift lever is equipped on the
handlebar, allowing you to shift gears
with either the foot-operated shift ped-
al or the hand-operated shift lever.
When the engine is running and the
shift pedal or the shift lever is moved,
an electronic signal is sent to the MCU
which disengages the clutch, the ECU
adjusts the throttle valve, the gear shift
is made, and then the clutch is re-en-
gaged.
This is not an automatic transmission,
only the clutch system is automatic.
Gear shifts must still be made by the
rider.
TIP
Optimal clutch engagement is cal-
culated by the MCU according to
engine speed, vehicle speed, and
other factors.
See also Stop mode switch (page
3-23) and Shifting (page 5-4) for
more information.

Brake ped al
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 ahea d to match the
ri din g speed even with ABS.
The ABS performs best with
lon g b rakin g d istances.
On certain surfaces, such as
roug h or g ravel roa ds, the b rak-
in g d istance may be lon ger 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.

Gasoline is poisonous an d can cau-
se injury or death. Han dle gasoline
with care. Never siphon gasoline by

EAU86072
Your Yamaha engine was designed to
use unleaded gasoline with a research
octane number of 90 or higher. If en-
gine knocking or pinging occurs, use a
gasoline of a different brand or higher
octane rating.
TIP
This mark identifies the recom-
mended fuel for this vehicle as
specified by European regulation
(EN228).
Confirm the gasoline pump nozzle
has the same fuel identification
mark.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gaso-
hol containing ethanol and that con-
taining methanol. Gasohol containing
ethanol can be used if the ethanol con-
tent does not exceed 10% (E10). Gas-
ohol containing methanol is not
recommended by Yamaha because it
can cause damage to the fuel system
or vehicle performance problems.
NOTICE
