TIPBe sure to check that the rear wheel
does not move when the rear brake
lock lever is applied.
WARNING
EWA12362
Never move the rear brake lock lever
to the left while the vehicle is mov-
in g, otherwise loss of control or an
acci dent may result. Make sure that
the vehicle is stoppe d b efore mov-
in g the rear brake lock lever to the

EAU65582
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)This model’s ABS features a dual elec-
tronic control system, which acts on
the front and rear brakes independent-
ly.
Operate the brakes with ABS as you
would conventional brakes. If the ABS
is activated, a pulsating sensation may
be felt at the brake levers. In this situa-
tion, continue to apply the brakes and
let the ABS work; do not “pump” the
brakes as this will reduce braking ef-
fectiveness.
WARNING
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient d istance
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
rou gh 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 is
turned on and travels at a speed of
10 km/h (6 mi/h) or higher. During
this test, a clicking noise can be
heard and if either brake lever is
even slightly applied, a vibration
can be felt at the lever, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.
 This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience
the pulsation at the brake levers
when the ABS is operating. How-
ever, special tools are required, so
please consult your Yamaha deal-
er.NOTICE
ECA20100
Be careful not to d amage the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of the
ABS will result.

FuelMake sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
Gasoline an d gasoline vapors are
extremely flammab le. To avoid fires
an d explosions an d to re duce the
risk of injury when refuelin g, 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. 3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately. NOTICE: Immediately
wipe off spille d fuel with a clean,
d ry, soft cloth, since fuel may
d eteriorate painte d surfaces or
plastic parts.
[ECA10072]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel tank cap.
WARNING
EWA15152
Gasoline is poisonous an d can
cause injury or d eath. Handle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gasoline
b y mouth. If you shoul d swallow
some gasoline or inhale a lot of gas-
oline vapor, or g et some gasoline in
your eyes, see your doctor imme di- ately. If g
asoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap an d water. If gaso-
line spills on your clothin g, chan ge
your clothes.
EAU86072
Your Yamaha engine was designed to
