new cruising speed by pushing the
“SET–” side of the setting switch. If you
do not set a new cruising speed, when
you return the throttle grip, the vehicle
will decelerate to the previously set
cruising speed.
Deactivating the cruise control sys-
tem
Perform one of the following operations
to cancel the set cruising speed. The
“SET” indicator light will go off.

Turn the throttle grip past the
closed position in the deceleration
direction.

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.
Using the resume function
Push the “RES+” side of the cruise con-
trol 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 dangerous to use the resume
function when the previously set
cruising speed is too high for cur-rent conditions.TIPPushing 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 automat-
ically 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.

EAU73914
Traction control systemThe traction control system (TCS)
helps maintain traction when accelerat-
ing on slippery surfaces, such as un-
paved or wet roads. If sensors detect
that the rear wheel is starting to slip (un-
controlled spinning), the traction control
system assists by regulating engine
power as needed until traction is re-
stored.
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. With the throttle closed, push this
switch down to change from TCS “1” or
“2” to “3”. Push up to change from TCS
“3” or “2” to “1”.
With the vehicle stopped, push this
switch up for two seconds to turn the
system off. Push down to turn the sys-
tem on.
TIPThe current TCS setting is shown in theTCS display (page 4-11).1. Traction control system switch “TCS”

12 The “ ” indicator light flashes when
traction control has engaged. You may
notice slight changes in engine and ex-
haust sounds when the system has en-
gaged.
In certain conditions, the traction con-
trol system may be automatically dis-
abled. Should this happen, both the
“ ” indicator light and the “ ” warn-
ing light will come on.
The TCS display (page 4-11) indicates
the current TCS setting. There are four
settings.
TCS “OFF”
TCS “OFF” turns the traction control system off.
TCS “1”
TCS “1” minimizes traction control sys-
tem assist. Select this mode for sporty
riding.
TCS “2”
TCS “2” provides a moderate level of
traction control assist. Select this mode
for standard street riding.
TCS “3”
TCS “3” maximizes traction control as-
sist; wheel spin is most strongly con-
trolled. Select this mode for rain,
slippery road conditions, and whenever
maximum traction control is desirable.
TIP
Traction control can be turned on
or off only when the vehicle is
stopped.

When the key is turned to “ON”,
traction control is turned on and
set to TCS “1”, “2” or “3” (whichev-
er was last selected).

Turn the traction control system off
to help free the rear wheel if the ve-
hicle gets stuck in mud, sand, or
other soft surfaces.
NOTICE
ECA16801
Use only the specified tires. (See
page 7-17.) Using different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controlling tire rotationaccurately.
Resetting the traction control sys-
tem
The traction control system will auto-
matically disable when:
the front wheel or rear wheel
comes off the ground while riding.

excessive rear wheel spin is de-
tected while riding.

either wheel is rotated with the key
turned to “ON” (such as when per-
forming maintenance).
If the traction control system is dis-
abled, both the “ ” indicator light and
the “ ” warning light will come on.
Should this occur, try resetting the sys-
tem as follows. 1. Stop the vehicle and turn the key to “OFF”.

If the warning light comes on when
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

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

EAU15952
Read the Owner’s Manual carefully to
become familiar with all controls. If
there is a control or function you do not
understand, ask your Yamaha dealer.
WARNING
EWA10272
Failure to familiarize yourself with
the controls can lead to loss of con-
trol, which could cause an accidentor injury.
EAUM3632
TIPThis model is equipped with:
a lean angle sensor. This sensor
stops the engine in case of a vehi-
cle turnover. If this happens, the
engine trouble warning light will
come on, but this is not a malfunc-
tion. Turn the vehicle power off
and then back on again to cancel
the warning light. Failing to do so
will prevent the engine from start-
ing even though the engine will
crank when pushing the start
switch.

an engine auto-stop system. The
engine stops automatically if left
idling for 20 minutes. If the engine
stops, simply push the start switchto restart the engine.
EAU74012
Starting the engineIn order for the ignition circuit cut-off
system to enable starting, one of the
following conditions must be met:
The transmission is in the neutral
position.

The transmission is in gear with
the clutch lever pulled and the sid-
estand up.
See page 4-29 for more informa-
tion.
1. Turn the key to “ON” and make sure that the stop/run/start switch
is set to “ ”.
