the MODE switches, see page 4-4

“TCS-MODE”This model is equipped with adjustable
traction, slide, and lift control systems
(TCS, SCS and LIF). These are
grouped together into “TCS-MODE”.
“TCS-MODE” has 4 settings:
“TCS-MODE M” is customizable in the
settings MENU, see page 4-18.
TCS
The traction control system helps
maintain traction when accelerating. If
sensors detect that the rear wheel is
starting to slip (uncontrolled spinning),
the traction control system assists by
regulating engine power as needed un-
til traction is restored. The stability
control indicator light “ ” flashes to
let the rider know that traction control
has engaged. This traction control system automati-
cally adjusts according to the vehicle’s
lean angle. To maximize acceleration,
when the vehicle is upright a lesser
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 sys-
tems engage.

QSS (if equipped)The quick shift system allows for clutch
lever-less, electronically-assisted shift-
ing. When the sensor on the shift rod
detects the appropriate motion in the
shift pedal, engine power output is mo-
mentarily adjusted to allow for the gear
change to occur.
QSS does not operate when the clutch
lever is pulled, therefore normal shifting
can be done even when QSS is set to
on. Check the QS indicator for current
status and usability information.
Upshifting conditions
Vehicle speed of at least 20 km/h
(12 mi/h)
Engine speed of at least 2200

Shifting into or out of neutral must
be done using the clutch lever.

BCThe brake control system regulates hy-
draulic brake pressure for the front and
rear wheels when the brakes are ap-
plied and wheel lock is detected. This
system has two settings.
BC1 is standard ABS, which adjusts
brake pressure based on vehicle
speed and wheel speed data. BC1 is
designed to engage and maximize
braking when the vehicle is upright.
BC2 uses additional data from the IMU
to regulate applied brake power when
cornering to suppress lateral wheel
slip.

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 best 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 hydraulic unit is monitored by
the ABS ECU, which will revert the sys-
tem to conventional braking if a mal-
function occurs.
WARNING
EWA20891
The brake control system is not a
su bstitute for the use of proper ri d-
in g an d brakin g techniques. The
b rake control system cannot pre-
vent all loss of traction due to over-
b rakin g from excessive spee d, or
lateral wheel slip when brakin g on
slippery surfaces.
TIPThe ABS performs a self-diagnostic
test when the vehicle is started and
reaches a speed of 5 km/h (3 mi/h).
During this test, a clicking noise may
be audible from the hydraulic control
unit, and a vibration may be felt at the
brake lever or pedal, but this is normal.NOTICE

Vehicle data recor din gThis model’s ECU stores certain vehi-
cle data to assist in the diagnosis of
malfunctions and for research, statisti-
cal analysis and development purpos-
es.
Although the sensors and recorded
data will vary by model, the main data
points are:
Vehicle status and engine perfor-
mance data
Fuel-injection and emission-relat-
ed data
This data will be uploaded only when a
special Yamaha diagnostic tool is at-
tached to the vehicle, such as when
maintenance checks or service proce-
dures are performed.
Vehicle data uploaded will be handled
appropriately according to the follow-
ing Privacy Policy.
