D-mode ( drive mo de)D-mode is an electronically controlled
engine performance system. This
model has three mode selections:
“STD”, “A”, and “B”.
WARNING
EWA18440
Do not chan ge the d rive mo de while
the vehicle is movin g.With the throttle grip closed, push this
switch to change the drive mode in the
following order:
STD → A → B → STD
TIP Make sure you understand each
drive mode before operating the
drive mode switch.
 The current drive mode is shown
in the drive mode display (page
4-12).
 The current drive mode is saved
when the vehicle is turned off.Mo de “STD”
Mode “STD” is suitable for various rid-
ing conditions.
This mode allows the rider to enjoy
smooth and sporty drivability from the
low-speed range to the high-speed
range.
Mo de “A”
Mode “A” offers a sportier engine re-
sponse in the low- to mid-speed range
compared to mode “STD”. Mo
de “B”
Mode “B” offers response that is
somewhat less sharp compared to
mode “STD” for riding situations that
require especially sensitive throttle op-
eration.

Traction control systemThe 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 regulating engine
power as needed until traction is re-
stored.
WARNING
EWA15433
The traction control system is not a
substitute for ri din g appropriately
for the con ditions. Traction control
cannot prevent loss of traction d ue
to excessive spee d when enterin g
turns, when acceleratin g har d at a
sharp lean an gle, or while b raking,
an d cannot prevent front wheel slip-
pin g. As with any vehicle, approach
surfaces that may be slippery with
caution an d avoi d especially slip-
pery surfaces.
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.
When the traction control system is
turned off, the “ ” indicator light will
come on.TIP When the vehicle is turned on, the
traction control system is turned
on and set to the last used traction
control system setting. 
The current traction control sys-
tem setting is shown on the trac-
tion control system display (page
4-12).

crease traction control system assist.
“TCS 6”
“TCS 6” maximizes traction control as-
sist; wheel spin is most strongly con-
trolled.

Fuel level warning
light “ ”
This warning light comes on when you
are low on fuel. When the fuel level
drops below approximately 3.4 L (0.90
US gal, 0.75 Imp.gal), the light will
come on to remind you to refuel as
soon as possible.
When the vehicle is turned on, the light
will perform a circuit check (come on
for a few seconds and then go off).
If the warning light does not come on
during the circuit check, or if the warn-
ing light remains on after refueling,
have a Yamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle.TIPIf a malfunction is detected, the fuel
level warning light will flash repeatedly.
Have a Yamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle.

Coolant temperature warnin g
li g ht “ ”
This warning light comes on if the en-
gine overheats. If this occurs, reduce
the load on the engine immediately. If
message “HI” flashes in the coolant
temperature display, stop the vehicle,
then stop the engine and let the engine
cool.
The electrical circuit of the warning
light can be checked by turning the ve-
hicle on. The warning light should
come on for a few seconds, and then
go off.
If the warning light does not come on
initially when the vehicle is turned on,
or if the warning light remains on, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.NOTICE
ECA10022
Do not continue to operate the en-
g ine if it is overheatin g.
TIP For radiator-fan-equipped vehi-
cles, the radiator fan(s) automati-
cally switch on or off according to
the coolant temperature in the ra-
diator.
 If the engine overheats, see page
7-42 for further instructions.

This warning light comes on 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.TIPWhen the vehicle is turned on, the light
will come on for a few seconds and
then go off. If the light does not come
on, or if the light remains on, have a

TIPIf you do not reset the fuel reserve trip-
meter manually, after refueling and
traveling 5 km (3 mi), it will reset auto-
matically and disappear from the dis-
play.Instantaneous fuel consumption
This function calculates the fuel con-
sumption under current riding condi-
