started, the EPS system may not be working
correctly. When this occurs, have a Yamaha
dealer check the EPS system.
The electrical circuit of the warning light can
be checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). If
the warning light does not come on, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical circuit.TIPIf the steering load is too heavy (e.g., exces-
sive steering use at slow speed or when op-
erating in deep mud, sand, or snow), the
power assist is reduced to protect the EPS
motor from overheating. EBU36713Half clutch indicator light “ ”
This indicator light comes on to inform the
driver when the clutch is partially engaged.
Normal, temporary partial-engagement oc-
curs when starting off or when shifting gears.
The indicator light may also come on during
engine braking or in other situations. 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 indicator light stays on while driving, ei-
ther release the accelerator pedal or further
press down the accelerator pedal (release or
increase throttle) to fully engage or disengage
the clutch. NOTICEECB03351Do not use the throttle (accelerator pedal)
to hold the vehicle stationary when on an
incline or navigating obstacles. Continu-
ous operation while the indicator light is on
may lead to shortened clutch life.

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
unexpectedly and cause injury.1. Shift arm pivot

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.
