Immo bilizer system in dicator
li g ht “ ”
When the vehicle is turned off and 30
seconds have passed, the indicator
light will flash steadily to indicate the immobilizer system is enabled. After 24
hours have passed, the indicator light
will stop flashing, however the immobi-
lizer system is still enabled.
TIPWhen the vehicle is turned on, the light
will come on for a few seconds, and go
off. Otherwise, have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.Trou
bleshootin g
If a problem is detected in the immobi-
lizer system, the light will flash in a pat-
tern. If the immobilizer system
indicator light flashes in the pattern,
slowly 5 times then quickly 2 times, this
could be caused by transponder inter-
ference. If this occurs, try the following. 1. Make sure there are no other im- mobilizer keys close to the main
switch. Other immobilizer system
keys may cause signal interfer-
ence and prevent the engine from
starting.
2. Use the code re-registering key to start the engine. 3. If the engine starts, turn it off, and
try starting the engine with the
standard keys.
4. If one or more of the standard keys do not start the engine, take
the vehicle and all keys to a
Yamaha dealer to have the stan-
dard keys re-registered.

Brake leverThe brake lever is located on the right
side of the handlebar. To apply the
front brake, pull the lever toward the
throttle grip.
The brake lever is equipped with a
brake lever position adjusting dial. To
adjust the distance between the brake
lever and the throttle grip, push the
brake lever away from the throttle grip
and rotate the adjusting dial. Make
sure the setting number on the adjust-
ing dial aligns with the match mark on
the brake lever.
EAU12944
Brake ped alThe brake pedal is located on the right
side of the motorcycle. To apply the
rear brake, press down on the brake
pedal.
EAU63040
ABSThe Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con-
trol system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently.
Operate the brakes with ABS as you
would conventional brakes. If the ABS
is activated, a pulsating sensation may
be felt at the brake lever or brake ped-
al. In this situation, continue to apply
the brakes and let the ABS work; do
not “pump” the brakes as this will re-
duce braking effectiveness.
WARNING
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient d istance
from the vehicle ahea d to match the
ri din g speed even with ABS.
 The ABS performs b est with
lon g b rakin g d istances.
 On certain surfaces, such as
rou gh or g ravel roa ds, the b rak-
in g d istance may be lon ger with
the ABS than without.The ABS is monitored by an ECU,
which will revert the system to conven-
tional braking if a malfunction occurs.

TIP The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test each time the vehicle first
starts off after the key is turned to
“ON” and the vehicle has traveled
at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or
higher. During this test, a “click-
ing” noise can be heard from the
hydraulic control unit, and if the
brake lever or brake pedal is even
slightly applied, a vibration can be
felt at the lever and pedal, but
these do not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
 This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience
the pulsation at the brake lever or
brake pedal when the ABS is op-
erating. However, special tools are
required, so please consult your
Yamaha dealer.NOTICE

Be careful not to damag e the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of the
ABS will result.

TIPThis model is equipped with:
 a lean angle sensor. This sensor
stops the engine in case of a vehi-
cle turnover. If this happens, the
malfunction indicator light will
come on, but this is not a malfunc-
tion. Turn the vehicle power off
and then back on again to cancel
the indicator light. Failing to do so
will prevent the engine from start-
ing even though the engine will
crank when pushing the start
switch.
 an engine auto-stop system. The
engine stops automatically if left
idling for 20 minutes. If the engine
stops, simply push the start
switch to restart the engine.
