EAU76825
Stop and Start SystemThe Stop and Start System stops the
engine automatically when the vehicle
is stopped in order to prevent noise,
control exhaust emissions, and reduce
fuel consumption.
When the rider turns the throttle grip
slightly, the engine restarts automati-
cally and the vehicle starts off.NOTICE
ECA23961
When parking the vehicle or leaving
the vehicle unattended, be sure to
turn the main switch off. If the Stop
and Start System is left turned on,
the battery could become dis-charged and it may not be possible
to restart the engine due to insuffi-
cient battery voltage.
TIPAlthough the engine normally
stops at the same time as the ve-
hicle, there may be a delay when
operating the vehicle under 10
km/h, such as in heavy traffic.
If you think the battery voltage is
low because the engine cannot be
started using the starter switch or
for some other reason, do not turn
on the Stop and Start System.
Have a Yamaha dealer check the
battery at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance chart.

Malfunction indicator light
(MIL) “ ”
This light comes on or flashes if a prob-
lem is detected in the engine or other
vehicle control system. If this occurs,
have a Yamaha dealer check the on-
board diagnostic system. The electri-
cal circuit of the warning light can be
checked by vehicle power on. The light
should come on for a few seconds,
and then go off. If the light does not
come on initially when the vehicle pow-
er on, or if the light remains on, have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
NOTICE
ECA26820
If the MIL starts flashing, reduce en-
gine speed to prevent exhaust sys-
tem damage.TIPThe engine is sensitively controlled for
the on-board diagnostic system to de-
tect deterioration and malfunction of
the emission control system. Due to
this specification, the MIL may come
on or flash for vehicle modifications,
lack of maintenance, or excessive or
improper use of the vehicle. To prevent
this, observe these precautions.
Do not attempt to modify the soft-
ware of the engine control unit.
Do not add any electrical acces-
sories that interfere with engine
control.
Do not use aftermarket accesso-
ries or parts such as suspension,
spark plugs, injectors, exhaust
system, etc.
Do not change drivetrain specifi-
cations (chain, sprockets, wheels,
tires, etc.).

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 “click-
ing” noise can be heard from the
front of the vehicle, and if either
brake lever is even slightly ap-
plied, a vibration can be felt at the
lever, but these do not indicate a
malfunction.
This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience
the pulsation at the brake levers
when the ABS is operating. How-
ever, special tools are required, so
please consult your Yamaha deal-
er.NOTICE
ECA20100
Be careful not to damage the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of the
ABS will result.
EAUN2810
Traction control systemThe traction control system (TCS)
helps maintain traction when acceler-
ating on slippery surfaces, such as un-
paved or wet roads. If sensors detect
that the rear wheel is starting to slip
(uncontrolled spinning), the traction
control system assists by regulating
engine power until traction is restored.
When traction control has engaged,
the “ ” indicator light will flash. You
may notice changes in engine re-
sponse or exhaust sound.
WARNING
EWA18860
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.

6 Setting the traction control system
When the vehicle is turned on, traction
control is automatically turned on.
To turn the traction control system off,
use the “MENU” switch to change the
multi-function display to the traction
control system display. Then push the
“MENU” switch for three seconds. The
display will show “TCS OFF”, and
the “ ” indicator light will come on.
TIPTurn the traction control system off to
help free the rear wheel if the vehicle
gets stuck in mud, sand, or other soft
surfaces.NOTICE
ECA16801
Use only the specified tires. (See
page 9-19.) Using different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controlling tire rotation
accurately.
Resetting the traction control sys-
tem
The traction control system will auto-
matically disable under certain condi-
tions; such as when a sensor fault is
detected, or when only one wheel is al-
lowed to rotate for more than a few
seconds. Should this happen,
the “ ” indicator light will come on,
and possibly the “ ” warning light,
too.
