TIPWhen the vehicle is turned on, these
lights should come on for a few sec-
onds and then go off. Otherwise, have
a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
EAU91840
Malfunction ind icator light
(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 turning the 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 ve-
hicle power is turned 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 monitored by
the on-board diagnostic system to de-
tect deterioration or malfunction of the
emission control system. Therefore the
MIL may come on or flash due to vehi-
cle modifications, lack of maintenance,
or excessive/improper use of the mo-
torcycle. 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 the drivetrain
specifications (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 the drive chain properly.
 Maintain correct tire pressure. 
Maintain proper brake pedal
height to prevent rear brake from
dragging.
 Do not operate the vehicle in an
extreme manner. For example, re-
peated or excessive opening and
closing of the throttle, racing,
burnouts, wheelies, extended
half-clutch use, etc.
EAU92700
ABS warnin g lig ht “ ”
In normal operation, the ABS warning
light comes on when the vehicle is
turned on, and goes off after traveling
at a speed of 5 km/h (3 mi/h) or higher.TIPIf the warning light does not work as
described above, or if the warning light
comes on while riding, the ABS may
not work correctly. Have a Yamaha
dealer check the vehicle as soon as
possible.
