3 If any of those circuits are defective, the
engine trouble warning light will come
on, and then the multi-function display
will indicate a two-digit error code.
This model is also equipped with a self-
diagnosis device for the immobilizer
system.
If any of the immobilizer system circuits
are defective, the immobilizer system
indicator light will flash, and then the
multi-function display will indicate a
two-digit error code.
NOTE:If the multi-function display indicates er-
ror code 52 (all segments of the coolant
temperature meter will come on, except
the top segment, which will flash), this
could be caused by transponder inter-
ference. If this error appears, try the fol-lowing.1. Use the code re-registering key to
start the engine.
NOTE:
Make 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 enginefrom starting.
2. If the engine starts, turn it off, and
try 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-registeringkey and both standard keys to a
Yamaha dealer and have the stan-
dard keys re-registered.
If the multi-function display indicates
any error code, note the code number,
and then have a Yamaha dealer check
the vehicle.
CAUTION:
ECA11590
If the display indicates an error
code, the vehicle should be checked
as soon as possible in order to avoidengine damage.

ABS The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con-
trol system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently. The ABS is
monitored by an ECU (Electronic Con-
trol Unit), which will have recourse to
manual braking if a malfunction occurs.
WARNING
EWA10090


The ABS performs best on long
braking distances.


On certain (rough or gravel)
roads, the braking distance may
be longer with than without the
ABS. Therefore, always keep a
sufficient distance to the vehicle
ahead to match the ridingspeed.
NOTE:

When the ABS is activated, the
brakes are operated in the usual
way. A pulsating action may be felt
at the brake lever or brake pedal,
but this does not indicate a mal-
function.


This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience the
pulsating 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 performingthis test.

with all operating controls and
their functions before riding.
Consult a Yamaha dealer re-
garding any control or function
that you do not thoroughly un-
derstand.


Never start the engine or oper-
ate it in a closed area for any
length of time. Exhaust fumes
are poisonous, and inhaling
them can cause loss of con-
sciousness and death within a
short time. Always make sure
that there is adequate ventila-
tion.


Before starting out, make sure
that the sidestand is up. If the
sidestand is not raised com-
pletely, it could contact the
ground and distract the opera-
tor, resulting in a possible lossof control.
