new cruising speed by pushing the
“SET–” side of the setting switch. If you
do not set a new cruising speed, when
you return the throttle grip, the vehicle
will decelerate to the previously set
cruising speed.
Deactivating the cruise control sys-
tem
Perform one of the following operations
to cancel the set cruising speed. The
“SET” indicator light will go off.

Turn the throttle grip past the
closed position in the deceleration
direction.

Apply the front or rear brake.

Disengage the clutch. Push the power switch to turn off the
cruise control system. The “ ” indica-
tor light and the “SET” indicator light will
go off.
TIPTraveling speed decreases as soon as
the cruise control system is deactivat-ed; unless the throttle grip is turned.
Using the resume function
Push the “RES+” side of the cruise con-
trol setting switch to reactivate the
cruise control system. The traveling
speed will return to the previously set
cruising speed. The “SET” indicator
light will come on.
WARNING
EWA16351
It is dangerous to use the resume
function when the previously set
cruising speed is too high for cur-rent conditions.TIPPushing the power switch while the
system is operating will turn the system
off completely and erase the previously
set cruising speed. You will not be able to use the resume function until a new
cruising speed has been set.
Automatic deactivation of the cruisecontrol systemThe cruise control system for this mod-
el is electronically controlled and is
linked with the other control systems.
The cruise control system will automat-
ically become deactivated under the
following conditions:
The cruise control system is not
able to maintain the set cruising
speed.

Wheel slip or wheel spin is detect-
ed. (If the traction control system
has not been turned off, the trac-
tion control system will work.)

The start/engine stop switch is set
to the “ ” position.

The engine stalls.

The sidestand is lowered.
When traveling with a set cruising
speed, if the cruise control system is
deactivated under the above condi-
tions, the “ ” indicator light will go off
and the “SET” indicator light will flash
for 4 seconds, and then go off.

12 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, both the
“ ” indicator light and the “ ” warn-
ing light will come on.
The TCS display (page 4-11) indicates
the current TCS setting. There are four
settings.
TCS “OFF”
TCS “OFF” turns the traction control system off.
TCS “1”
TCS “1” minimizes traction control sys-
tem assist. Select this mode for sporty
riding.
TCS “2”
TCS “2” provides a moderate level of
traction control assist. Select this mode
for standard street riding.
TCS “3”
TCS “3” maximizes traction control as-
sist; wheel spin is most strongly con-
trolled. Select this mode for rain,
slippery road conditions, and whenever
maximum traction control is desirable.
TIP
Traction control can be turned on
or off only when the vehicle is
stopped.

When the key is turned to “ON”,
traction control is turned on and
set to TCS “1”, “2” or “3” (whichev-
er was last selected).

Turn the traction control system off
to help free the rear wheel if the ve-
hicle gets stuck in mud, sand, or
other soft surfaces.
NOTICE
ECA16801
Use only the specified tires. (See
page 7-17.) Using different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controlling tire rotationaccurately.
Resetting the traction control sys-
tem
The traction control system will auto-
matically disable when:
the front wheel or rear wheel
comes off the ground while riding.

excessive rear wheel spin is de-
tected while riding.

either wheel is rotated with the key
turned to “ON” (such as when per-
forming maintenance).
If the traction control system is dis-
abled, both the “ ” indicator light and
the “ ” warning light will come on.
Should this occur, try resetting the sys-
tem as follows. 1. Stop the vehicle and turn the key to “OFF”.
1. Engine trouble warning light “ ”
2. Traction control system indicator light “”

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.

Brake light switchesThe brake light should come on just be-
fore braking takes effect. The brake
light is activated by switches connected
to the brake lever and brake pedal.
Since the brake light switches are com-
ponents of the anti-lock brake system,
they should only be serviced by a
Yamaha dealer.
EAU22393
Checking the front and rear
brake padsThe front and rear brake pads must be
checked for wear at the intervals spec-
ified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
EAU36891
Front brake pads
Each front brake pad is provided with
wear indicators, which allows you to
check the brake pad wear without hav-
ing to disassemble the brake. To check
the brake pad wear, check the position
of the wear indicators while applying
the brake. If a brake pad has worn to
the point that a wear indicator almost touches the brake disc, have a Yamaha
dealer replace the brake pads as a set.
EAU48071
Rear brake pads
Each rear brake pad is provided with a
wear indicator groove, which allows
you to check the brake pad wear with-
out having to disassemble the brake.
To check the brake pad wear, check
the wear indicator groove. If a brake
pad has worn to the point that the wear
indicator groove almost appears, have
a Yamaha dealer replace the brake
pads as a set.

Supporting the motorcycleSince this model is not equipped with a
centerstand, use maintenance stands
when removing the front or rear wheel
or when performing other maintenance
that requires the motorcycle to stand up
right.
Check that the motorcycle is in a stable
and level position before starting any
maintenance.
EAU25872
TroubleshootingAlthough Yamaha motorcycles receive
a thorough inspection before shipment
from the factory, trouble may occur dur-
ing operation. Any problem in the fuel,
compression, or ignition systems, for
example, can cause poor starting and
loss of power.
The following troubleshooting charts
represent quick and easy procedures
for checking these vital systems your-
self. However, should your motorcycle
require any repair, take it to a Yamaha
dealer, whose skilled technicians have
the necessary tools, experience, and
know-how to service the motorcycle
properly.
Use only genuine Yamaha replace-
ment parts. Imitation parts may look like
Yamaha parts, but they are often inferi-
or, have a shorter service life and can
lead to expensive repair bills.
WARNING
EWA15142
When checking the fuel system, do
not smoke, and make sure there are
no open flames or sparks in the ar-
ea, including pilot lights from water heaters or furnaces. Gasoline or
gasoline vapors can ignite or ex-
plode, causing severe injury or
property damage.
