1operator and may limit control
ability, therefore, such accesso-
ries are not recommended.
 Use caution when adding electri-
cal accessories. If electrical ac-
cessories exceed the capacity of
the motorcycle’s electrical sys-
tem, an electric failure could re-
sult, which could cause a
dangerous loss of lights or engine
power.
Aftermarket Tires an d Rims
The tires and rims that came with your
motorcycle were designed to match
the performance capabilities and to
provide the best combination of han-
dling, braking, and comfort. Other
tires, rims, sizes, and combinations
may not be appropriate. See page 7-19
for tire specifications and for informa-
tion on servicing and replacing your
tires.
Transportin g the Motorcycle
Be sure to observe following instruc-
tions before transporting the motorcy-
cle in another vehicle. 
Remove all loose items from the
motorcycle.
 Check that the fuel cock (if
equipped) is in the off position and
that there are no fuel leaks.
 Shift the transmission into gear
(for models with a manual trans-
mission).
 Secure the motorcycle with tie-
downs or suitable straps that are
attached to solid parts of the mo-
torcycle, such as the frame or up-
per front fork triple clamp (and not,
for example, to rubber-mounted
handlebars or turn signals, or
parts that could break). Choose
the location for the straps carefully
so the straps will not rub against
painted surfaces during transport.
 The suspension should be com-
pressed somewhat by the tie-
downs, if possible, so that the mo-
torcycle will not bounce exces-
sively during transport.

This traction control system automati-
cally adjusts according to the vehicle’s
lean angle. To maximize acceleration,
when the vehicle is upright a less
amount of traction control is applied.
When cornering, a greater amount of
traction control is applied.
TIP
The traction control system may
engage when the vehicle travels
over a bump.
 You may notice slight changes in
engine and exhaust sounds when
the traction control or other YRC
systems engage.
 When TCS is turned off, SCS,
LCS, and LIF are also turned off
automatically.
WARNING
EWA15433
The traction control system is not a
substitute for ri din g appropriately
for the con ditions. Traction control
cannot prevent loss of traction d ue
to excessive spee d when enterin g
turns, when acceleratin g har d at a
sharp lean an gle, or while brakin g,
an d cannot prevent front wheel slip-
pin g. As with any vehicle, approach
surfaces that may be slippery with
caution an d avoi d especially slip-
pery surfaces.When the key is turned to “ON”, the
traction control system automatically
turns on. The traction control system
can be turned on or off manually only
when the key is in the “ON” position
and the motorcycle is stopped.TIPTurn the traction control system off to
help free the rear wheel if the motorcy-
cle gets stuck in mud, sand, or other
soft surfaces.
NOTICE
ECA16801
Use only the specifie d tires. (See
pa ge 7-19.) Usin g different size d
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controllin g tire rotation
accurately.SCS
The slide control system regulates en-
gine power output when a sideward
slide is detected in the rear wheel. It
adjusts power output based on data
from the IMU. This system supports
the TCS to contribute to a smoother
ride.
EBM
The engine brake management system
reduces engine torque when deceler-
ating. The fuel injection, ignition timing,
and electronic throttle valve are elec-
tronically adjusted by the ECU. There
are 3 settings to suit the track, riding
conditions, or your personal prefer-
ence.

7 Tire information
This model is equipped with tubeless
tires and 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
EWA10902

The front an d rear tires shoul d
b e of the same make an d d e-
si gn, otherwise the han dlin g characteristics of the motorcy-
cle may
be different, which
coul d lea d to an acci dent.
 Always make sure that the valve
caps are securely installe d to
prevent air pressure leakag e.
 Use only the tire valves an d
valve cores listed below to
avoi d tire d eflation during a ride.
After extensive tests, only the tires list-
ed below have been approved for this
model by Yamaha.
