Traction control system
The 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 as needed until traction is re-
stored. The “TCS” indicator/warning
light flashes to let the rider know that
traction control has engaged.
TIP
The rider may also notice slight chang-
es in engine and exhaust sounds when
the traction control system is engaged.
WARNING
EWA15432
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 b raking,
an d cannot prevent front wheel slip-
pin g. As with any motorcycle, ap-
proach surfaces that may be
slippery with caution an d avoi d es-
pecially slippery surfaces.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the
traction control system automatically
turns on.
The traction control system can be
turned on or off manually only when the
key is in the “ON” position and the mo-
torcycle is stopped.

TIP
Turn the traction control system off to
help free the rear wheel if the motorcy-
cle gets stuck in mud, sand, or other
soft surfaces.
NOTICE
ECA16801
Use only the specifie d tires. (See
pa ge 6-20.) Usin g different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controllin g tire rotation
accurately.
Turnin g on/off the traction control
system
WARNING
EWA15441
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
makin g any settin g chan ges to the
traction control system. Chan gin g
settin gs while ri din g can d istract the
operator an d increase the risk of an
acci dent.
To turn off the traction control system,
push the “TCS” button on the multi-
function meter unit for at least 2 sec-
onds. The “TCS” indicator/warning
light will come on.
To turn on the traction control system,
push the “TCS” button again. The
“TCS” indicator/warning light will go
off. Resetting
The traction control system will be dis-
abled in the following conditions:
 The rear wheel is rotated with the
centerstand down and the key in
the “ON” position.
 Either the front wheel or rear wheel
comes off the ground while riding.
 Excessive rear wheel spinning.
If the traction control system has been
disabled, both the “TCS” indica-
tor/warning light and the engine trou-
ble warning light come on.
To reset the traction control system
Turn the key to “OFF”. Wait at least 1
second, then turn the key back to
“ON”. The “TCS” indicator/warning
light should go off and the system will
be enabled. The engine trouble warn-
ing light should go off after the motor-
cycle reaches at least 20 km/h (12
mi/h). If the “TCS” indicator/warning
light and/or engine trouble warning
light still remain on after resetting, the
motorcycle may still be ridden; howev-
er, have a Yamaha dealer check the
motorcycle as soon as possible.

Fuel tank cap
To open the fuel tank cap
Open the fuel tank cap lock cover, in-
sert the key into the lock, and then turn
it 1/4 turn clockwise. The lock will be
released and the fuel tank cap can be
opened.
To close the fuel tank cap
1. Push the fuel tank cap into posi- tion with the key inserted in the
lock.
2. Turn the key counterclockwise to the original position, remove it,
and then close the lock cover.
TIP
The fuel tank cap cannot be closed un-
less the key is in the lock. In addition,
the key cannot be removed if the cap is
not properly closed and locked.
WARNING
EWA11092
Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly closed after filling fuel.
Leakin g fuel is a fire hazar d.

Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
Gasoline an d gasoline vapors are
extremely flamma ble. To avoi d fires
an d explosions an d to re duce the
risk of injury when refueling , 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. When refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler
hole. 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.1. Unlock.

WARNING
EWA15152
Gasoline is poisonous an d can cau-
se injury or death. Han dle gasoline
with care. Never siphon gasoline by
mouth. If you shoul d swallow some
g asoline or inhale a lot of gasoline
vapor, or g et some gasoline in your
eyes, see your d octor immediately. If
g asoline spills on your skin, wash
with soap an d water. If g asoline
spills on your clothin g, chan ge your

EAU49743
NOTICE
ECA11401
Use only unlea ded g asoline. The use
of lea ded 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.
Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use regular unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of 95 or higher. If knocking (or pinging)
occurs, use a gasoline of a different
brand or premium unleaded fuel. Use
of unleaded fuel will extend spark plug
life and reduce maintenance costs.
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.
Recommen
ded fuel:
Regular unleaded gasoline (Gasohol
[E10] acceptable)
Fuel tank capacity: 25 L (6.6 US gal, 5.5 Imp.gal)
Fuel reserve amount:
5.5 L (1.45 US gal, 1.21 Imp.gal)
