ABS warning light “ ”
In normal operation, the ABS warning
light comes on when the key is turned
to “ON”, and goes off after traveling at a
speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or higher.
If the ABS warning light:●
does not come on when the key is
turned to “ON”
●
comes on or flashes while riding
●
does not go off after traveling at a
speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or higher
The ABS may not work correctly. If any
of the above occurs, have a Yamaha
dealer check the system as soon as
possible. (See page 3-26 for an expla-
nation of the ABS.)WARNING
EWA16040
If the ABS warning light does not go
off after traveling at a speed of 10
km/h (6 mi/h) or higher, or if the
warning light comes on or flashes while riding, the brake system re-
verts to conventional braking. If ei-
ther of the above occurs, or if the
warning light does not come on at
all, use extra caution to avoid possi-
ble wheel lock during emergency
braking. Have a Yamaha dealer
check the brake system and electri-
cal circuits as soon as possible.
TIPIf the start switch is pushed while the
engine is running, the ABS warning
light will come on, but this is not a mal-
function.
EAU54260
Traction control system indica-
tor/warning light “TCS”
This indicator/warning light flashes
when the traction control system en-
gages and comes on when the system
is turned off.
The electrical circuit of the light can be
checked by turning the key to “ON”.
The light should come on for a few sec-
onds, and then go off.
If the light does not come on initially
when the key is turned to “ON”, or if the
light remains on, have a Yamaha deal-
er check the electrical circuit.
If the traction control system becomes
disabled while riding, the indica-
tor/warning light and engine trouble
warning light come on. (See page 3-27
for an explanation of the traction control
system.)
Try to reset the traction control system
and the lights by following the proce-
dures under “Resetting” on page 3-28.

3Activating and setting the cruise
control system
1. Push the cruise control power switch “ ” located on the left han-
dlebar. The cruise control system
indicator light “ ” will come on.
2. Push the “SET–” side of the cruise control setting switch to activate
the cruise control system. Your
current traveling speed will be-
come the set cruising speed. The
cruise control setting indicator light
“SET” will come on.
Adjusting the set cruising speed
While the cruise control system is oper-
ating, push the “RES+” side of the
cruise control setting switch to increase
the set cruising speed or the “SET–”
side to decrease the set speed.
TIPPushing the setting switch once will
change the speed in increments of ap-
proximately 2.0 km/h (1.2 mi/h). Hold-
ing the “RES+” or “SET–” side of the
cruise control setting switch down will
increase or decrease the speed contin-
uously until the switch is released.
You can also manually increase your
traveling speed using the throttle. After
you have accelerated, you can set a
new cruising speed by pushing the
“SET–” side of the setting switch. If you
do not set a new cruising speed, when
you return the throttle grip, the vehicle
will decelerate to the previously set
cruising speed.
Deactivating the cruise control sys-
tem
Perform one of the following operations
to cancel the set cruising speed. The
“SET” indicator light will go off.●
Turn the throttle grip past the
closed position in the deceleration
direction.
●
Apply the front or rear brake.
●
Disengage the clutch.
Push the power switch to turn off the
cruise control system. The “ ” indica-
tor light and the “SET” indicator light will
go off.
TIPTraveling speed decreases as soon as
the cruise control system is deactivat-
ed; unless the throttle grip is turned.Using the resume function

trol setting switch to reactivate the
cruise control system. The traveling1. Closed position

brakes are applied, the cruise con-
trol system will become deactivat-
ed.
Self-diagnosis device
The cruise control system will also be-
come deactivated when an irregularity
with any of the vehicle systems is de-
tected. The “SET” indicator light will go
off and the “ ” indicator light will flash.
You will not be able to use the cruise
control system while the engine trouble
warning light is on, or while the cruise
control system is malfunctioning.
WARNING

If the cruise control system is not
working correctly, the “ ” indicator
light will flash. If this occurs, turn the
cruise control system off and have a
Yamaha dealer check it.NOTICE

Brake lever The brake lever is located on the right
side of the handlebar. To apply the front
brake, pull the lever toward the throttle
grip.
The brake lever is equipped with a
brake lever position adjusting dial. To
adjust the distance between the brake
lever and the throttle grip, turn the ad-
justing dial while holding the lever
pushed away from the throttle grip.
Make sure that the appropriate setting
on the adjusting dial is aligned with
the “ ” mark on the brake lever.
EAU39540
Brake pedal The brake pedal is on the right side of
the vehicle.
This model is equipped with a unified
brake system.
When pressing down on the brake ped-
al, the rear brake and a portion of the
front brake are applied. For full braking
performance, apply both the brake le-
ver and the brake pedal simultaneous-
ly.
EAU54530
ABS The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con-
trol system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently.
Operate the brakes with ABS as you
would conventional brakes. If the ABS
is activated, a pulsating sensation may
be felt at the brake lever or brake pedal.
In this situation, continue to apply the
brakes and let the ABS work; do not
“pump” the brakes as this will reduce
braking effectiveness.
WARNING
EWA16050
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 with
the ABS than without.
The ABS is monitored by an ECU,
which will revert the system to conven-
tional braking if a malfunction occurs.

TIP●
The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test each time the vehicle first
starts off after the key is turned to
“ON” and the vehicle has traveled
at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or
higher. During this test, a “clicking”
noise can be heard from under the
seat, and if the brake lever or
brake pedal is even slightly ap-
plied, a vibration can be felt at the
lever and pedal, but these do not
indicate a malfunction.
●
This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience the
pulsation at the brake lever or
brake pedal when the ABS is oper-
ating. However, special tools are
required, so please consult your
Yamaha dealer when performing
this test.
NOTICE
ECA16830
Keep any type of magnets (including
magnetic pick-up tools, magnetic
screwdrivers, etc.) away from the
front and rear wheel hubs; other-
wise, the magnetic rotors equippedin the wheel hubs may be damaged,
resulting in improper performance
of the ABS and the unified brake
system.
EAU54270
Traction control system The traction control system helps main-
tain traction when accelerating on slip-
pery surfaces, such as unpaved or wet
roads. If sensors detect that the rear
wheel is starting to slip (uncontrolled
spinning), the traction control system
assists by regulating engine power as
needed until traction is restored. The
“TCS” indicator/warning light flashes to
let the rider know that traction control
has engaged.TIPThe rider may also notice slight chang-
es in engine and exhaust sounds when
the traction control system is engaged.
WARNING
EWA15431
The traction control system is not a
substitute for riding appropriately
for the conditions. Traction control
cannot prevent loss of traction due
to excessive speed when entering
turns, when accelerating hard at a
sharp lean angle, or while braking,
and cannot prevent front wheel slip-
ping. As with any motorcycle, ap-
