TIP
When the vehicle is turned on, the light
should come on and remain on until
the engine is started. Otherwise, have
a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
NOTICE
ECA21211
If the warning light comes on when
the engine is running, stop the en-
gine and check the oil level. If the oil
level is low, add sufficient oil of the
recommended type. If the warning
light remains on after adding oil,
stop the engine and have a Yamaha
dealer check the vehicle.
EAU79311Engine trouble warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on if a prob-
lem is detected in the engine. If this oc-
curs, have a Yamaha dealer check the
on-board diagnostic system.
TIP
When the vehicle is turned on, this light
should come on for a few seconds and
then go off. Otherwise, have a Yamaha
dealer check the vehicle.
EAU69895ABS warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on when the
vehicle is first turned on, and goes off
after starting riding. If the warning light
comes on while riding, the anti-lock
brake system may not work correctly.
WARNING
EWA16043
If the ABS warning light does not
turn off after reaching 10 km/h (6
mi/h), or if the warning light comes
on while riding: Use extra caution to avoid pos-
sible wheel lock during emer-
gency braking.
Have a Yamaha dealer check
the vehicle as soon as possible.
EAU67433Shift indicator light “ ”
This indicator light comes on when it is
time to shift to the next higher gear.
The engine speeds at which it comes
on or goes off can be adjusted.
TIP
When the vehicle is turned on, this 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 a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.

Brake pedal
The brake pedal is located on the right
side of the motorcycle. To apply the
rear brake, press down on the brake
pedal.
EAU63040
ABS
The 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 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 can 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
these do not indicate a malfunc-
tion.

TIP
Air filter
• This model’s air intake system is equipped with a disposable oil-coated pa-
per element. The air filter element cannot be cleaned with compressed air,
it must be replaced.
• The air filter element needs to be replaced more frequently when riding in
unusually wet or dusty areas.
Hydraulic brake service
• After disassembling the brake master cylinder and caliper, always change
the fluid. Regularly check the brake fluid level and fill the reservoir as re-
quired.
• Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cyl-
inder and caliper, and change the brake fluid.
• Replace the brake hose every four years and if cracked or damaged.

Brake light switches
The brake light should come on just
before braking takes effect. The brake
light is activated by switches connect-
ed to the brake lever and brake pedal.
Since the brake light switches are
components of the anti-lock brake sys-
tem, they should only be serviced by a
Yamaha dealer.
EAU22393
Checking the front and rear
brake pads
The front and rear brake pads must be
checked for wear at the intervals spec-
ified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
EAU22433Front brake pads
Each front 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 the wear
indicator grooves have almost disap-
peared, have a Yamaha dealer replace
the brake pads as a set.
