To start the timer, press the dimmer/
pass switch down towards “PASS”.
Each press of the dimmer/pass switch
will increase the lap count by 1 and re-
set the current lap timer.
To pause the lap timer, press the wheel
switch inward.
To unpause the timer, press the dim-
mer/pass switch down towards “PASS”
and the timer will resume without count-
ing a new lap.
To exit the lap time mode, turn it off in
the settings MENU. (See page 4-16.)
TIP
The engine must be running to start the lap timer.

The headlight will flash when the
dimmer/pass switch is pressed.

Whenever the lap timer is paused,
it can be resumed using the dim-mer/pass switch.
Brake control icon “BC”
This icon is replaced by the auxiliary
system warning and coolant tempera-
ture warning indicators when they are
activated.
For more information on the BC system
see “BC” on page 3-6.
Error mode warning “Err”
When an internal error occurs (e.g.,
communication with a system controller
has been cut off), the error mode warn-
ing will appear as follows.
“Err” and “ ” indicator light indicates
an ECU error.
“Err” only indicates an ABS ECU error.
TIPDepending on the nature of the error,
the display may not function properly
and the traction control system settings
may be impossible to change. Addition- ally, ABS may not function properly.
Use extra care when braking and have
a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle im-
mediately.
Auxiliary system warning “ ”
This icon appears if a problem is de-
tected in a non-engine-related system.
Coolant temperature warning “ ”
This icon appears if the coolant temper-
ature reaches 116 
C (241 F) or high-
er. Stop the vehicle and turn off the
engine. Allow the engine to cool.NOTICE
ECA10022
Do not continue to operate the en-gine if it is overheating.
Oil pressure warning “ ”
This icon appears when the engine oil
pressure is low. When the vehicle is
first turned on, engine oil pressure has
yet to build, so this icon will come on
and stay on until the engine has been
started.

module to make related settings chang-
es. Settings MENU access and opera-
tion

switch inward to confirm the selection.
Press and hold the wheel switch until
the screen returns to the main display
to exit the MENU at any time.
TIP
Certain settings menu screens
have an upward pointing triangle
mark item. Select the triangle mark
to save settings changes and exit
the current screen.

Should vehicle motion be detect-
ed, the screen will automatically
exit the settings MENU and return

displayed). Exiting the settings
menu by pressing and holding the

tings changes.
“Display Setting”
This module allows you to switch the
lap time mode and tachometer color
mode ON/OFF.
When the lap time mode is selected,
the twin vehicle in formation displays on
the main screen will display a lap timer
and a lap counter. To exit the lap time
mode, the turn lap timer OFF in the dis-
play setting module.
To change the tachometer to color
mode, select ON. “Manual TCS Setting”
This module allows you to customize
the “TCS-MODE M” which is accessi-
ble on the main display using the
MODE switches.
Traction control system
This model uses a variable traction
control system. For each setting level,
the further the vehicle is leaned over,
the greater the amount of traction con-
trol (system interv
ention) is applied.
There are 3 setting levels available for
the “TCS-MODE M”.
Setting level 1 applies the least amount
of overall system intervention, while
setting level 3 applies the greatest
amount of overall traction control.
TIP
The traction control system can
only be turned on or off via the
main screen using the MODE
switches.

SCS and LIF can be turned off in-
dependently of traction control
system for “TCS-MODE M”.

When “TCS-MODE” has been set
to “OFF” on the main screen: trac-
tion control system, SCS and LIFare all turned off together.
SCS
SCS can be set to OFF, 1, 2, and 3.
OFF turns the slide control system off,
setting level 1 provides the least
amount of system intervention, and set-
ting level 3 provides the greatest
amount of system intervention.
LIFLIF can be set to OFF, 1, 2, and 3.
Setting level 1 provides the least
amount of system intervention and set-
ting 3 most strongly reduces the rate of
wheel lift.
OFF turns LIF off.

Brake pedalThe brake pedal is located on the right
side of the motorcycle. To apply the
rear brake, press down on the brake
pedal.
EAU91461
Brake control system (BC)The brake control system regulates hy-
draulic brake pressure for the front and
rear wheels independently when the
brakes are applied and wheel lock is
detected. This system has two settings
which can be changed in the settings
MENU. (See page 4-17.)
BC1 is standard ABS, which adjusts
brake pressure based on vehicle speed
and wheel speed data. BC1 is de-
signed to engage and maximize brak-
ing when the vehicle is upright. BC2
uses additional data from the IMU to
regulate applied brake power when
cornering to suppress lateral wheel slip.
Regarding ABS, operate the brakes as
you would conventional brakes. When
the brake control system engages, a
pulsating sensation may be felt at the
brake lever or brake pedal as the hy-
draulic unit rapidly applies and reduces
brake pressure. In this situation, contin-
ue to apply the brake lever and brake
pedal to allow the ABS to work—do not
“pump the brakes” as this will reduce
braking effectiveness.
WARNING
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient distance
from the vehicle ahead to match the
riding speed even with ABS.
The ABS performs best with
long braking distances.

On certain surfaces, such as
rough or gravel roads, the brak-
ing distance may be longer withthe 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
substitute for the use of proper rid-
ing and braking techniques. The
brake control system cannot pre-
vent all loss of traction due to
over-braking from excessive speed,
or lateral wheel slip when braking onslippery surfaces.TIPThe ABS performs a self-diagnostic

4. After starting out, close the throttle, and at the same time, quickly pull
the clutch lever in.
5. Shift the transmission into second gear. (Make sure not to shift the
transmission into the neutral posi-
tion.)
6. Open the throttle part way and gradually release the clutch lever.
7. Follow the same procedure when shifting to the next higher gear.
EAU85380
To decelerate1. Release the throttle and apply both the front and the rear brakes
smoothly to slow the motorcycle.
2. As the vehicle decelerates, shift to a lower gear.
3. When the engine is about to stall or runs roughly, pull the clutch le-
ver in, use the brakes to slow the
motorcycle, and continue to down-
shift as necessary.
4. Once the motorcycle has stopped, the transmission can be shifted
into the neutral position. The neu-
tral indicator light should come on and then the clutch lever can be
released.
WARNING
EWA17380

Improper braking can cause
loss of control or traction. Al-
ways use both brakes and apply
them smoothly.

Make sure that the motorcycle
and the engine have sufficiently
slowed before shifting to a low-
er gear. Engaging a lower gear
when the vehicle or engine
speed is too high could make
the rear wheel lose traction or
the engine to over-rev. This
could cause loss of control, an
accident and injury. It could also
cause engine or drive train dam-age.
EAU16811
Tips for reducing fuel
consumptionFuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the following
tips to reduce fuel consumption:
Shift up swiftly, and avoid high en-
gine speeds during acceleration.

Do not rev the engine while shifting
down, and avoid high engine
speeds with no load on the engine.

Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length of
time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traffic
lights or at railroad crossings).
