minimize the risk of losing the code re-
registering key (red bow), keep it in a
safe place and only use it for code re-
registering.

Cruise control systemThis model is equipped with a cruise
control system designed to maintain a
set cruising speed.
The cruise control system operates
only when riding in 3rd gear at speeds
between about 50 km/h (31 mi/h) and
160 km/h (100 mi/h), or 4th or 5th gear
at speeds between about 50 km/h (31
mi/h) and 180 km/h (112 mi/h).
WARNING


Improper use of the cruise con-
trol system may result in loss of
control, which coul d lea d to an
acci dent. Do not activate the
cruise control system in heavy
traffic, poor weather con ditions,
or amon g win din g, slippery,
hilly, rou gh or g ravel roa ds.
 When travelin g uphill or d own-
hill, the cruise control system
may not be ab le to maintain the

 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.Usin g the resume function
Push the “RES+” side of the cruise
control setting switch to reactivate the
cruise control system. The traveling speed will return to the previously set
cruising speed. The “SET” indicator
light will come on.
WARNING
EWA16351
It is d
angerous to use the resume
function when the previously set
cruisin g speed is too hi gh for current
con ditions.TIP The resume function operates
when riding in 3rd gear at speeds
between about 50 km/h (31 mi/h)
and 160 km/h (100 mi/h), or 4th or
5th gear at speeds between about
50 km/h (31 mi/h) and 180 km/h
(112 mi/h).
 Pushing the power switch while
the system is operating will turn
the system off completely and
erase the previously set cruising
speed. You will not be able to use
the resume function until a new
cruising speed has been set.
Automatic deactivation of the cruisecontrol systemThe cruise control system for this mod-
el is electronically controlled and is
linked with the other control systems.
The cruise control system will auto-
matically become deactivated under
the following conditions:
 The cruise control system is not
able to maintain the set cruising
speed.
 Wheel slip or wheel spin is detect-
ed. (If the traction control system
has not been turned off, the trac-
tion control system will work.)
 The start/engine stop switch is set
to the “ ” position.
 The engine stalls.
 The sidestand is lowered.
When traveling with a set cruising
speed, if the cruise control system is
deactivated under the above condi-
tions, the “ ” indicator light will go off
and the “SET” indicator light will flash
for 4 seconds, and then go off.
When not traveling with a set cruising
speed, if the start/engine stop switch is
set to the “ ” position, the engine

the “ ” indicator light will go off (the
“SET” indicator light will not flash).
If the cruise control system is automat-
ically deactivated, please stop and
confirm that your vehicle is in good op-
erating condition.
Before using the cruise control system
again, activate it using the power
switch.
TIPIn some cases, the cruise control sys-
tem may not be able to maintain the set
cruising speed when the vehicle is
traveling uphill or downhill.
 When the vehicle is traveling up-
hill, the actual traveling speed may
become lower than the set cruis-
ing speed. If this occurs, acceler-
ate to the desired traveling speed
using the throttle.
 When the vehicle is traveling
downhill, the actual traveling
speed may become higher than
the set cruising speed. If this oc-
curs, the setting switch cannot be
used to adjust the set cruising
speed. To reduce the traveling speed, apply the brakes. When
the brakes are applied, the cruise
control system will become deac-
tivated.
Self-
dia gnosis 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 malfunction-
ing.

TIPThe odometer and the clock cannot be
reset.Self-diagnosis device This model is equipped with a self-di-
agnosis device for various electrical
circuits. If a problem is detected in any
of those circuits, the engine trouble
warning light will come on and the in-
formation display will indicate an error
code.
If the information display indicates any
error codes, note the code number,
and then have a Yamaha dealer check
the vehicle.
The self-diagnosis device also detects
problems in the immobilizer system
circuits.
If a problem is detected in the immobi-
lizer system circuits, the immobilizer
system indicator light will flash and the
information display will indicate an er-
ror code when the key is turned to
“ON”.
TIPIf the information display indicates er-
ror code 52, this could be caused by
transponder interference. If this error
appears, try the following.1. Use the code re-registering key to
start the engine.
TIPMake sure there are no other immobi-
lizer keys close to the main switch, and
do not keep more than one immobilizer
key on the same key ring! Immobilizer
system keys may cause signal interfer-
ence, which may prevent the engine
from starting.2. If the engine starts, turn it off, andtry starting the engine with the
standard keys.
3. If one or both of the standard keys do not start the engine, take the
vehicle, the code re-registering
key and both standard keys to a
Yamaha dealer and have the stan- dard keys re-registered.NOTICE

ABSThe 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 ped-
al. In this situation, continue to apply
the brakes and let the ABS work; do
not “pump” the brakes as this will re-
duce braking effectiveness.
WARNING
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient distance
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 b e 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 “click-
ing” noise can be heard from un-
der 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 op-
erating. However, special tools are
required, so please consult your
Yamaha dealer.NOTICE
ECA16831
Keep any type of mag nets (includin g
ma gnetic pick-up tools, mag netic
screwd rivers, etc.) away from the
front an d rear wheel hu bs; other-
wise, the ma gnetic rotors equippe d
in the wheel hu bs may be damag ed , resultin
g in improper performance
of the ABS an d the unifie d b rake
system.
