the engine is running, stop the en-
gine immediately and check oil level.
If the oil level is below the minimum
level, add sufficient oil of the recom-
mended type to raise it up to the cor-
rect level. If the oil pressure warning
light remains on even if the oil level
is correct, immediately turn the en-
gine off and have a Yamaha dealercheck the vehicle.TIPIf the warning light does not go off after
starting the engine, check the engine oil
level and add oil if necessary. (See
page 7-10.)

of the above occurs, have a Yamaha
dealer check the system as soon as
possible. (See page 4-18 for an expla-
nation of the ABS.)WARNING
EWA16041
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.

WARNING
EWA12423
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
making any setting changes to the
multi-function meter unit. Changing
settings while riding can distract the
operator and increase the risk of an
accident.
The multi-function meter unit is
equipped with the following:
a speedometer

a tachometer

a clock

a fuel meter

a coolant/air temperature display

an eco indicator

a transmission gear display

Brake pedalThe brake pedal is located on the right
side of the motorcycle. To apply the
rear brake, press down on the brake
pedal.
EAU63040
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 br akes. 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
EWA16051
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 withthe 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 the hy-
draulic control unit, and if the brake
lever or brake pedal is even slight-
ly applied, 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 yourYamaha dealer.
NOTICE
ECA20100
Be careful not to damage the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of theABS will result.

FuelMake sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, followthese 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. 3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately. NOTICE: Immediately wipe
off spilled fuel with a clean, dry,
soft cloth, since fuel may deteri-
orate painted surfaces or plastic
parts.
[ECA10072]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel tank cap.
WARNING
EWA15152
Gasoline is poisonous and can
cause injury or death. Handle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gaso-
line by mouth. If you should swallow
some gasoline or inhale a lot of gas-
oline vapor, or get some gasoline in your eyes, see your doctor immedi-
ately. If gasoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap and water. If gaso-
line spills on your clothing, change
your clothes.

Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause severe
damage to internal engine parts,
such as the valves and piston rings,as well as to the exhaust system.

Catalytic converterThis model is equipped with a catalytic
converter in the exhaust system.
WARNING
EWA10863
The exhaust system is hot after op-
eration. To prevent a fire hazard or
burns:
Do not park the vehicle near
possible fire hazards such as
grass or other materials that
easily burn.

Park the vehicle in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch the hot
exhaust system.

Make sure that the exhaust sys-
tem has cooled down before do-
ing any maintenance work.

Do not allow the engine to idle
more than a few minutes. Long
idling can cause a build-up ofheat.
NOTICE

Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause unre- pairable damage to the catalytic
converter.

Adjusting th e shock absorber
assembly
WARNING
EWA10222
This shock absorber assembly con-
tains highly pressurized nitrogen
gas. Read and understand the fol-
lowing information before handling
the shock absorber assembly.
Do not tamper with or attempt to
open the cylinder assembly.

Do not subject the shock ab-
sorber assembly to an open
flame or other high heat source.
This may cause the unit to ex-
plode due to excessive gas
pressure.

Do not deform or damage the
cylinder in any way. Cylinder
damage will result in poor
damping performance.

Do not dispose of a damaged or
worn-out shock absorber as-
sembly yourself. Take the shock
absorber assembly to a Yamahadealer for any service.
NOTICE
ECA10102
To avoid damaging the mechanism,
do not attempt to turn beyond themaximum or minimum settings.
This model is equipped with adjustable
suspension. The spring preload, re-
bound damping force, fast compres-
sion damping force, and slow
compression damping force can be ad-
justed.
Spring preload
1. Loosen the locknut.
2. To increase the spring preload and thereby harden the suspension,
turn the adjusting ring in direction
(a). To decrease the spring pre-
load and thereby soften the sus-
pension, turn the adjusting ring in
direction (b).
The spring preload setting is deter-
mined by measuring distance A.
The longer distance A is, the high-
er the spring preload; the shorter
distance A is, the lower the spring
preload.
