started, the EPS system may not be working
correctly. When this occurs, have a Yamaha
dealer check the EPS system.
The electrical circuit of the warning light can
be checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). If
the warning light does not come on, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical circuit.TIPIf the steering load is too heavy (e.g., exces-
sive steering use at slow speed or when op-
erating in deep mud, sand, or snow), the
power assist is reduced to protect the EPS
motor from overheating. EBU36713Half clutch indicator light “ ”
This indicator light comes on to inform the
driver when the clutch is partially engaged.
Normal, temporary partial-engagement oc-
curs when starting off or when shifting gears.
The indicator light may also come on during
engine braking or in other situations. The electrical circuit of the indicator light can
be checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). If
the indicator light does not come on and then
go off, have a Yamaha dealer check the elec-
trical circuit.
TIPIf the indicator light stays on while driving, ei-
ther release the accelerator pedal or further
press down the accelerator pedal (release or
increase throttle) to fully engage or disengage
the clutch. NOTICEECB03351Do not use the throttle (accelerator pedal)
to hold the vehicle stationary when on an
incline or navigating obstacles. Continu-
ous operation while the indicator light is on
may lead to shortened clutch life.

EBU36643Launch system indicator light “ ”
This indicator light comes on when the launch
system is activated. If the indicator light is
flashing, either a user error or system restric-
tion has been detected. See “Launch system
operation” on page 6-7 for more information.
The electrical circuit of the indicator light can
be checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). If
the indicator light does not come on and then
go off, have a Yamaha dealer check the elec-
trical circuit.TIPIf the launch system indicator light is flashing,
release the accelerator pedal and shift pad-
dles to reset the system. When the engine
speed returns to idle, the indicator light will go
off. You can now start off as normal in first
gear, or retry activating the launch system.
EBU36743YCC-S system warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on when an error
has occurred or a malfunction has been de-
tected in the YCC-S system. Have a Yamaha
dealer check the YCC-S system.
The electrical circuit of the YCC-S system
warning light can be checked by turning the
key to “ ” (on). If the warning light does not
come on and then go off, have a Yamaha
dealer check the electrical circuit.
If the YCC-S system warning light flashes
when starting the engine, wait 3 seconds for
the light to stop flashing, and then retry start-
ing the engine. If an error in the YCC-S sys-
tem prevents the engine from starting, the
warning light will come and the display will in-
dicate an error code.TIPYCC-S system error codes are visible only
when the engine is stopped.

The engine may not start even though the
starter motor operates. If the YCC-S system stops working correctly
while driving, the YCC-S warning light will
come on. If this occurs, it may be impossible
to shift out of the gear you are in; and the
clutch may stay engaged, so a shuddering
sensation may be felt when you come to a
stop. Stop the vehicle on level ground safely
off the main trail, and have the YCC-S system
serviced by a Yamaha dealer before further
operation.TIPIf shifting into neutral is impossible using the
shift paddles and drive select lever, proceed
as follows if it is nece ssary to move the vehi-
cle after it has stopped. 1. Turn the key to “ ” (off).
2. Remove panel B (page 8-11). 3. While rocking the vehicle back and forth,
push the shift rod and shift arm pivot
downward (or upward if the transmission
was in reverse) until the transmission is in
neutral.
WARNING

Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle’s travel-
ing speed. The speedometer can be set to
“MPH” or “km/h”. This also changes the
odometer and tripmeter units between miles
and kilometers. To change the display be-
tween “MPH” and “km/h”, turn the key
to “ ” (off), then hold the “SELECT” button
pushed and turn the key to “ ” (on).Tachometer
The tachometer shows the engine speed in
crankshaft revolutions per minute (r/min).
When the vehicle is first powered on, the ta-
chometer needle will sweep once across the
r/min range and then return to zero r/min in
order to test the electrical circuit.
NOTICEECB02920Do not operate the engine in the tachome-
ter red zone.

TIPThis fuel gauge is equipped with a self-diag-
nosis system. If a problem is detected in an
electrical circuit, the fuel gauge will flash re-
peatedly. If this occurs, have a Yamaha deal-
er check the electrical circuit. Transmission gear display
This display shows the selected gear. The
neutral position is indicated by “N” and by the
neutral indicator light “N”.Shift light control mode
The shift timing indicator light has three set-
tings which can be adjusted.

Flashing pattern: this function allows you to
choose whether or not the indicator light
will come on and whether it should flash or
stay on when activated.
 Activation point: this function allows you to
select the engine speed at which the indi-
cator light is activated.1. Transmission gear display

Deactivation point: this function allows you
to select the engine speed at which the in-
dicator light is deactivated.
To adjust the shift timing indicator light1. Turn the key to “ ” (off).
2. Push and hold the “MODE” button.
3. Turn the key to “ ” (on), and then re- lease the “MODE” button after five sec-
onds. After all segments of the display
disappear and the shift timing indicator
light comes on, the shift timing indicator
light can be adjusted.
To set the flashing pattern1. Push the “RESET” button to select one of the following flashing pattern settings:
On: the indicator light stays on when
activated. (The indicator light will con-
firm this setting by staying on.) 
Flash: the indicator light flashes when
activated. (The indicator light will con-
firm this setting by flashing four times
per second.)
 Off: the indicator light is deactivated; in
other words, it does not come on or
flash. (The indicator light will confirm
this setting by flashing once every two
seconds.)
2. Push the “MODE” button to confirm the selected flashing pattern. The control
mode changes to the activation point set-
ting mode. The shift timing indicator light
remains on and the tachometer shows
the current setting r/min for the activation
point.
To set the shift activation point
TIP The shift timing indicator light activation
point can be set between 7000 r/min and
12000 r/min. The activation point can be set
in increments of 500 r/min.

The tachometer needle will start over at
7000 r/min after 12000 r/min. 1. Push the “RESET” button to select the
desired engine speed for activating the
indicator light.
2. Push the “MODE” button to confirm the selected engine speed. The shift timing
indicator light flashes and the tachometer
shows the current setting r/min for the
deactivation point.
To set the deactivation pointTIP The shift timing indicator light deactivation
point can be set between 7000 r/min and
12000 r/min. The deactivation point can be
set in increments of 500 r/min.
 Be sure to set the deactivation point to a
higher engine speed than for the activation
point, otherwise the shift timing indicator
light will not come on. 
The tachometer needle will start over at
7000 r/min after 12000 r/min.
1. Push the “RESET” button to select the
desired engine speed for deactivating the
indicator light.
2. Push the “MODE” button to confirm the selected engine speed. The display exits

Error code display
This model is equipped with a self-diagnosis
device for various electrical circuits.
If a problem is detected in any of those cir-
cuits, the engine trouble warning light and/or
the YCC-S system warning light will come on
or flash, and the display will indicate an error
code.
TIPYCC-S system error codes are displayed
only when the engine is stopped.
 If the display indicates an error code, note
the code number and have a Yamaha deal-
er check the vehicle. NOTICEECB00812If the multi-function display indicates an
error code, the vehicle should be checked
as soon as possible in order to avoid en-
gine damage.

speed. Clutch engagement is controlled by
the MCU according to engine speed and oth-
er driving conditions.TIPThis is not an automatic transmission, only
the clutch system is automatic.
 The gears must be shifted by the driver, ex-
cept when AUTO DOWNSHIFT shifts the
transmission into first gear.
 See page 6-3 for more information on shift-
ing.
