3This 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 magnets (including
magnetic pick-up tools, magnetic
screwdrivers, etc.) away from the
front and rear wheel hubs; other-
wise, the magnetic rotors equipped
in the wheel hubs may be damaged,
resulting in improper performance
of the ABS and the unified brake
system.

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 reducing engine
power until traction is restored.
TIP
The TCS indicator light will flash to
let you know that traction control
has engaged.
Slight changes in engine and ex-
haust sound may also be notice-
able.
WARNING
EWA15433
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 vehicle, approach
surfaces that may be slippery with
caution and avoid especially slip-
pery surfaces.
