Traction control systemThe traction control system helps
maintain traction when accelerating on
slippery surfaces, such as unpaved or
wet roads. If sensors detect that the
rear wheel is starting to slip (uncon-
trolled spinning), the traction control
system assists by regulating engine
power until traction is restored.
When traction control has engaged,
the “ ” indicator light will flash. You
may notice changes in engine re-
sponse or exhaust sound.
WARNING
EWA18860
The traction control system is not a
su bstitute 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 brakin g,
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,
use the “INFO” switch to change the
information display to the traction con-
trol system display. Then hold the “IN-
FO” switch for three seconds. The
display will show “TCSOFF”, and the
“TCS” indicator light will come on.

TIPTurn the traction control system off to
help free the rear wheel if the vehicle
gets stuck in mud, sand, or other soft
surfaces.NOTICE
ECA16801
Use only the specified tires. (See
pa ge 7-20.) 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, and possi-
bly the “ ” warning light, too.TIPWhen the vehicle is on the centerstand,
do not rev the engine for an extended
period of time. Otherwise, the traction
control system will automatically dis-
able and need to be reset.
If the traction control system automat-
ically disables, try resetting it as fol-
lows. 1. Stop the vehicle and turn it off completely.
2. Wait a few seconds and then turn the vehicle power on.
3. The “ ” indicator light should turn off and the system be en-
abled.TIPIf the “ ” indicator light remains on af-
ter resetting, the vehicle may still be
ridden; however, have a Yamaha deal-
er check the vehicle as soon as possi-
ble.4. Have a Yamaha dealer check thevehicle and turn off the “ ”
warning light.

FuelMake sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
Gasoline an d g asoline vapors are
extremely flamma ble. To avoi d 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. 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. 3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately. NOTICE: Immediately
wipe off spille d fuel with a clean,
d ry, soft cloth, since fuel may
d eteriorate painted surfaces or
plastic parts.
[ECA10072]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel tank cap.
WARNING
EWA15152
Gasoline is poisonous an d can
cause injury or death. Han dle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gasoline
b y mouth. If you shoul d swallow
some gasoline or inhale a lot of gas-
oline vapor, or g et some gasoline in
your eyes, see your doctor imme di- ately. If g
asoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap an d water. If gaso-
line spills on your clothin g, chan ge
your clothes.

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.
NOTICE
ECA11401
Use only unlea ded g asoline. The use
of lead ed g asoline will cause severe
d amag e to internal en gine parts,
such as the valves an d piston rin gs,
as well as to the exhaust system.
