Traction control systemThe traction control system (TCS)
helps maintain traction when acceler-
ating on slippery surfaces, such as un-
paved or wet roads. If sensors detect
that the rear wheel is starting to slip
(uncontrolled spinning), the traction
control system assists by regulating
engine power as needed until traction
is restored.
When traction control has engaged,
the “ ” indicator light will flash. You
may notice changes in engine re-
sponse or exhaust sounds.
WARNING
EWA18860
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 b raking,
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.
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,
see page 5-11.TIP Turn the traction control system
off to help free the rear wheel if the
vehicle gets stuck in mud, sand, or
other soft surfaces.
 When the vehicle is on the center-
stand, do not rev the engine for an
extended period of time. Other-
wise, the traction control system
will automatically disable and
need to be reset.
NOTICE
ECA16801
Use only the specifie d tires. (See
pa ge 8-19.) Usin g different size d
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.
If the traction control system automat-
ically disables, reset it by riding under
normal conditions.TIPIf the Ž indicator light remains on,
the vehicle may still be ridden; howev-
er, have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle as soon as possible.

Malfunction in dicator li ght
(MIL) “ ”
This light comes on or flashes if a prob-
lem is detected in the engine or other
vehicle control system. If this occurs,
have a Yamaha dealer check the on-
board diagnostic system. The electri-
cal circuit of the warning light can be
checked by vehicle power on. The light
should come on for a few seconds,
and then go off. If the light does not
come on initially when the vehicle pow-
er on, or if the light remains on, have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
NOTICE
ECA26820
If the MIL starts flashin g, re duce en-
g ine spee d to prevent exhaust sys-
tem damag e.TIPThe engine is sensitively controlled for
the on-board diagnostic system to de-
tect deterioration and malfunction of
the emission control system. Due to
this specification, the MIL may come
on or flash for vehicle modifications,
lack of maintenance, or excessive or
improper use of the vehicle. To prevent
this, observe these precautions.
 Do not attempt to modify the soft-
ware of the engine control unit.
 Do not add any electrical acces-
sories that interfere with engine
control.
 Do not use aftermarket accesso-
ries or parts such as suspension,
spark plugs, injectors, exhaust
system, etc.
 Do not change drivetrain specifi-
cations (chain, sprockets, wheels,
tires, etc.). 
Do not remove or alter the O2 sen-
sor, air induction system, or ex-
haust parts (catalysts or EXUP,
etc.).
 Maintain proper V-belt and drive
belt (if equipped).
 Maintain correct tire pressure.
 Do not operate the vehicle in an
extreme manner. For example, re-
peated or excessive opening and
closing of the throttle, racing,
burnouts, wheelies, etc.

ABS warnin g li ght “ ”
This warning light comes on when a
problem is detected with the ABS. (See
page 5-19.)
When the vehicle power is turned on,
this light will come on and then go off
after reaching a traveling speed of 10
km/h (6 mi/h). If the warning light:  does not come on when the vehi-
cle power is turned on
 does not go off after traveling at a
speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or high-
er
 comes on or flashes while riding

si gn, otherwise the han dlin g
characteristics of the vehicle
may be different, which coul d

 Always make sure that the valve
caps are securely installed to
prevent air pressure leakag e.
 Use only the tire valves an d

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 wheel should be balanced
whenever either the tire or wheel
has been changed or replaced. An
unbalanced wheel can result in
poor performance, adverse han-
dling characteristics, and a short-
ened tire life.
 After repairing or replacing the
front tire, tighten the valve stem
nut and locknut to the specified
torques.

Chang ing the brake flui dHave a Yamaha dealer change the
brake fluid every 2 years. In addition,
have the seals of the master cylinders
and brake calipers, as well as the brake
hoses replaced at the intervals listed
below or sooner if they are damaged or
leaking.
 Brake seals: every 2 years
 Brake hoses: every 4 years
EAU88810
Drive beltThe drive belt should be visually in-
spected before each ride. Check for
excessive wear, damage, and dirt. Al-
so, the drive belt tension must be
checked and adjusted by a Yamaha
dealer at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance chart.
To check the drive belt
1. On a level surface, place the vehi- cle on its centerstand.
2. Rotate the rear wheel and check the belt surface for signs of wear
or damage. 3. If cracks, excessive wear, or dam-
age is found, have the belt in-
spected or replaced by your
Yamaha dealer.
4. If the drive belt or drive belt sprocket is dirty, remove the drive
belt covers by removing the bolts
and quick fasteners.
5. Clean the drive belt and remove any debris from the drive belt
sprocket. NOTICE: Do not allow
d irt or san d to accumulate in the
d rive belt area, otherwise the
d rive belt will wear out quickly.
