Settin
g the traction control system
When the vehicle is turned on, traction
control is automatically turned on.
To turn the traction control system off,
use the “SEL” switch to change the
multi-function display to the traction
control system display. Then push the
“RES” switch for three seconds. The
display will show “TCS OFF”, and
the “ ” indicator light will come on.
TIPTurn the traction control system off to
help free the rear wheel if the vehicle
gets stuck in mud, sand, or other soft
surfaces.NOTICE
ECA16801
Use only the specifie d tires. (See
pa ge 8-22.) Usin g different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controllin g tire rotation
accurately.
Resettin g the traction control sys-
tem
The traction control system will auto-
matically disable under certain condi-
tions; such as when a sensor fault is
detected, or when only one wheel is al-
lowed to rotate for more than a few
seconds. Should this happen,
the “ ” indicator light will come on,
and possibly the “ ” warning light,
too.

EAU69761
TiresTires are the only contact between the
vehicle and the road. Safety in all con-
ditions of riding depends on a relatively
small area of road contact. Therefore, it
is essential to maintain the tires in good
condition at all times and replace them
at the appropriate time with the speci-
fied tires.
Tire air pressure
The tire air pressure should be
checked and, if necessary, adjusted
before each ride.
WARNING
EWA10504
Operation of this vehicle with im-
proper tire pressure may cause se-
vere injury or death from loss of
control.  The tire air pressure must be
checked and a djuste d on col d
tires (i.e., when the temperature
of the tires equals the am bient
temperature).
 The tire air pressure must be
a d juste d in accor dance with the
ri din g speed and with the total wei
ght of ri der, passen ger, car-
g o, an d accessories approve d
for this mo del.
WARNING
EWA10512
Never overloa d your vehicle. Opera-
tion of an overloa ded vehicle coul d
cause an acci dent.
Tire inspection
The tires must be checked before each
ride. If the center tread depth reaches
the specified limit, if the tire has a nail
or glass fragments in it, or if the side-
wall is cracked, have a Yamaha dealer
replace the tire immediately.TIPThe tire tread depth limits may differ
from country to country. Always com-
ply with the local regulations.
Col d tire air pressure:
1 person: Front:200 kPa (2.00 kgf/cm², 29 psi)
Rear: 225 kPa (2.25 kgf/cm², 33 psi)

WARNING
EWA10472
 Have a Yamaha d ealer replace
excessively worn tires. Besid es
b ein g ille gal, operatin g the vehi-
cle with excessively worn tires
d ecreases ri din g sta bility an d
can lead to loss of control.
 The replacement of all wheel
and b rake-relate d parts, inclu d-
in g the tires, shoul d b e left to a
Yamaha dealer, who has the
necessary professional knowl-
e dge an d experience to do so.
 Ride at mo derate spee ds after
chan gin g a tire since the tire
surface must first be “ broken
in” for it to develop its optimal
characteristics.Tire information
This model is equipped with tubeless
tires and rubber 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
EWA10462
The front an
d rear tires shoul d b e of
the same make an d d esi gn, other-
wise the han dlin g characteristics of
the vehicle may be different, which
coul d lea d to an acci dent.After extensive tests, only the tires list-
ed below have been approved for this
model by Yamaha.
EAU61160
Cast wheelsTo maximize the performance, durabil-
ity, and safe operation of your vehicle,
note the following points regarding the
specified wheels.
 The wheel rims should be
checked for cracks, bends, warp-
age or other damage before each
ride. If any damage is found, have
a Yamaha dealer replace the
wheel. Do not attempt even the
smallest repair to the wheel. A de-
formed or cracked wheel must be
replaced.
 The front wheels should be bal-
anced whenever either the tires or
wheels have been changed or re-
placed. An unbalanced wheel can
result in poor performance, ad-
verse handling characteristics,
and a shortened tire life.
