EBU36643Launch system indicator light “ ”
This indicator light comes on when the launch
system is activated. If the indicator light is
flashing, either a user error or system restric-
tion has been detected. See “Launch system
operation” on page 7-7 for more information.
The electrical circuit of the indicator light can
be checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). If
the indicator light does not come on and then
go off, have a Yamaha dealer check the elec-
trical circuit.TIPIf the launch system indicator light is flashing,
release the accelerator pedal and shift pad-
dles to reset the system. When the engine
speed returns to idle, the indicator light will go
off. You can now start off as normal in first
gear, or retry activating the launch system.
EBU36743YCC-S system warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on when an error
has occurred or a malfunction has been de-
tected in the YCC-S system. Have a Yamaha
dealer check the YCC-S system.
The electrical circuit of the YCC-S system
warning light can be checked by turning the
key to “ ” (on). If the warning light does not
come on and then go off, have a Yamaha
dealer check the electrical circuit.
If the YCC-S system warning light flashes
when starting the engine, wait 3 seconds for
the light to stop flashing, and then retry start-
ing the engine. If an error in the YCC-S sys-
tem prevents the engine from starting, the
warning light will come and the display will in-
dicate an error code.TIPYCC-S system error codes are visible only
when the engine is stopped.

The engine may not start even though the
starter motor operates. If the YCC-S system stops working correctly
while driving, the YCC-S warning light will
come on. If this occurs, it may be impossible
to shift out of the gear you are in; and the
clutch may stay engaged, so a shuddering
sensation may be felt when you come to a
stop. Stop the vehicle on level ground safely
off the main trail, and have the YCC-S system
serviced by a Yamaha dealer before further
operation.TIPIf shifting into neutral is impossible using the
shift paddles and drive select lever, proceed
as follows if it is nece ssary to move the vehi-
cle after it has stopped. 1. Turn the key to “ ” (off).
2. Remove panel B (page 9-11). 3. While rocking the vehicle back and forth,
push the shift rod and shift arm pivot
downward (or upward if the transmission
was in reverse) until the transmission is in
neutral.
WARNING

ing to manipulate the shift rod. Other-
wise, the shift actuator may operate

Do not shift the transmission into neutral
if the vehicle is stopped on an incline un-
less the parking brake is applied or vehi-
cle movement is secured by other
means. Otherwise, when the transmis-
sion is shifted into neutral, the vehicle
may roll downhill and possibly cause an
accident, serious injury or death. EBU31361Helmet reminder light “ ”
The reminder light comes on and stays on
while the key is turned to “ ” (on) to remind
the occupants to always wear a helmet. If the
reminder light does not come on when the
key is turned to “ ” (on), have a Yamaha
dealer check the electrical circuit.EBU31371Seat belt reminder light “ ”
The reminder light comes on when the key is
turned to “ ” (on) to remind the occupants
to fasten their seat belt. The reminder light
stays on until the driver seat belt is properly latched. If the reminder light does not come
on when the key is turned to “ ” (on), or if
the reminder light remains on after the driver
seat belt is properly latched, have a Yamaha
dealer check the electrical circuit.UBAS7AE0.book Page 9 Wednesday, June 19, 2019 11:51 AM

TIPThis fuel gauge is equipped with a self-diag-
nosis system. If a problem is detected in an
electrical circuit, the fuel gauge will flash re-
peatedly. If this occurs, have a Yamaha deal-
er check the electrical circuit. Transmission gear display
This display shows the selected gear. The
neutral position is indicated by “N” and by the
neutral indicator light “N”.Shift light control mode
The shift light has three settings which can be
adjusted.

Flashing pattern: this function allows you to
choose whether or not the light will come
on and whether it should flash or stay on

is deactivated.
To enter the shift light control mode1. Turn the key to “ ” (off).
2. Push and hold the “MODE” button.
3. Turn the key to “ ” (on), and then re- lease the “MODE” button after all seg-

adjusted as follows.
To set the flashing pattern1. Push the “RESET” button to select one of the following flashing pattern settings:
On: the shift light stays on when acti-
vated. (The shift light will confirm this
setting by staying on.)
 Flash: the shift light flashes when acti-

er words, it does not come on or flash.
(The shift light will confirm this setting
by flashing once every two seconds.)
2. Push the “MODE” button to confirm the
selected flashing pattern. The control
mode then changes to the activation
point setting function. The shift light re-
mains on and the tachometer shows the
current setting r/min for the activation
point.
To set the activation point
TIP The shift light activation point can be set
between 7000 r/min and 12000 r/min. The
activation point can be set in increments of
500 r/min.
 The tachometer needle will start over at
7000 r/min after 12000 r/min.

To set the deactivation pointTIP Be sure to set the deactivation point to a
higher engine speed than for the activation
point, otherwise the shift light will not come
on.
 The shift light deactivation point can be set
between 7000 r/min and 12000 r/min. The
deactivation point can be set in increments

If you drive the vehicle with the parking
brake engaged, a buzzer will sound. EBU36633YCC-S systemThis vehicle is equipped with the Yamaha
Chip Controlled-Shift system (YCC-S) with
AUTO DOWNSHIFT.
YCC-S allows the driver to operate the man-
ual transmission without having to operate
the clutch. AUTO DOWNSHIFT automatically
shifts the transmission into first gear when
coming to a stop under normal conditions.
The transmission is operated using the drive
select lever and the shift paddles. The drive
select lever is used to shift the transmission
into forward drive (first gear), neutral, and re-
verse gear. The shift paddles are used to shift
through the forward gears.
When the drive select lever or shift paddles
are moved, a signal is sent to the MCU (motor
control unit) which disengages the clutch, the
gear shift is made, and then the clutch is re- engaged once the engine is running at proper
speed. Clutch engagement is controlled by
the MCU according to engine speed and oth-
er driving conditions.
TIP
This is not an automatic transmission, only
the clutch system is automatic.
 The gears must be shifted by the driver, ex-
cept when AUTO DOWNSHIFT shifts the
transmission into first gear.
 See page 7-3 for more information on shift-
ing.
