BC
The brake control system has two set-
tings, BC1 and BC2. Select BC1 when
only standard ABS is desired. Select
BC2 to have the brake control system
further regulate brake pressure while
cornering to suppress lateral wheel
slip.TIPFor skilled riders and when riding at the
track, due to varying conditions, the
BC2 brake system may engage sooner
than expected relative to your desired
cornering speed or intended cornering
line.
QSThe quick shift system indicators are
divided into QS and QS sections.
QS and QS are not linked and
can be independently turned on or off.
QS can be set to ON or OFF.
OFF turns the respective upshift or
downshift function off, and the clutch
lever must then be used when shifting
in that direction.TIP
If the QSS setting cannot be
changed: turn the engine off with
the gear position set to neutral,
then change the setting.
 If the QSS is not equipped on the
vehicle: this module is still dis-
played and can be accessed from the settings MENU but it is inoper-
able and any changes cannot be
saved.
“Shift In
dicator”
This module allows a custom shift indi-
cator to be set. When the engine r/min
(rotations per minute) are in the speci-
fied range, the gear indicator will flash.
This module has 3 options:
“IND Mode” - the shift indicator can be
turned ON/OFF
“IND Start” - the r/min at which the in-
dicator starts flashing can be chosen.
Once selected, rotate the wheel switch
up/down to increase or decrease the
r/min value by increments of 200 r/min.
“IND Start” is settable between 6000 -
12800 r/min.

properly close d after fillin g fuel.
Leakin g fuel is a fire hazar d.
EAU13222
FuelMake sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
Gasoline an d g asoline vapors are
extremely flammab le. To avoid fires
an d explosions an d to re duce the
risk of injury when refuelin g, follow
these instructions.1. Before refueling, turn off the en- gine and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters
and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler
hole. Stop filling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the filler
tube. Because fuel expands when
it heats up, heat from the engine or
the sun can cause fuel to spill out
of the fuel tank.

EAU86072
Your Yamaha engine was designed to
use unleaded gasoline with a research
octane number of 95 or higher. If en-
gine knocking or pinging occurs, use a
gasoline of a different brand or higher
octane rating.
TIP This mark identifies the recom-
mended fuel for this vehicle as
specified by European regulation
(EN228).
 Confirm the gasoline pump nozzle
has the same fuel identification
mark.Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gaso-
hol containing ethanol and that con-
taining methanol. Gasohol containing
ethanol can be used if the ethanol con-
tent does not exceed 10% (E10). Gas-
ohol containing methanol is not
recommended by Yamaha because it
can cause damage to the fuel system
or vehicle performance problems.
