14 traveling speed using the throttle. After
you have accelerated, you can set a
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 turn off.
Turn the throttle grip past the
closed position in the deceleration
direction.
Apply the front or rear brake.
TIP
Traveling 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.
Turning off the cruise control sys-
tem
Push the cruise control power switch
“ ” to turn off the cruise control sys-
tem. The “ ” indicator light and the
“SET” indicator light will turn off.
TIP
Whenever the cruise control system or
the vehicle power is turned off, the pre-
viously set cruisi
ng speed is erased.
You will not be able to use the resume
function until a new cruising speed has
been set.
Automatic deactivation of the cruise
control system
The cruise control system is electroni-
cally controlled and linked with other
control systems. The cruise control sys-
tem will automatically deactivate under
the following conditions:
The cruise control system is not
able to maintain the set cruising
speed (such as when going up a
steep hill).
Wheel slip or wheel spin is detect-
ed. (If the traction control system is
on, traction control will engage.)
Engine trouble, etc.
If the cruise control system is automati-
cally deactivated, the “ ” indicator
light will turn off and the “SET” indicator
light will flash for 4 seconds.

This mode offers a sportier engine re-
sponse in the low- to mid-speed range
compared to the touring mode.
EAU77281
Traction control system
The 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.
When traction control has engaged, the
“ ” indicator light will flash. You may
notice changes in engine response or
exhaust sounds.
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.

When the vehicle is turned on, traction
control is automatically turned on.
To turn the traction control system off,
see page 5-10.
TIP
Turn 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 8-18.) 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 sec-
onds. Should this happen, the “ ”
indicator light will come on, and possi-
bly the “ ” warning light, too.
TIP
When the vehicle is on the centerstand,
do not rev the engine for an extended
period of time. Otherwise, the traction
control system will automatically dis-
able and need to be reset.
If the traction control system automati-
cally disables, try resetting it as follows.
1. Stop the vehicle and turn it off completely.
2. Wait a few seconds and then turn the vehicle power on.
3. The “ ” indicator light should turn off and the system be enabled.
TIP
If the “ ” indicator light remains on af-
ter resetting, the vehicle may still be rid-
den; however, have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle as soon as possible.
4. Have a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle and turn off the “ ” warn-
ing light.

The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by turning the vehicle
power on. The warning light should
come on for a few seconds, and then
go off.
If the warning light does not come on at
all, or if the warning light remains on,
have a Yamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle.
EAU77073ABS warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on when a
problem is detected with the ABS. (See
page 5-18.)
When the vehicle power is turned on,
this light will come on and then go off af-
ter reaching a traveling speed of 10
km/h (6 mi/h). If the warning light:
does not come on when the vehi-
cle power is turned on
does not go off after traveling at a
speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or higher
comes on or flashes while riding
the anti-lock brake system may not
work correctly. Have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle as soon as possible.
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.
TIP
The ABS warning light may come on
when revving the engine with the scoot-
er on its centerstand, but this does not
indicate a malfunction.
EAU74082Traction control system indicator
light “ ”
This indicator light will flash when trac-
tion control has engaged.
If the traction control system is turned
off, this indicator light will come on.
TIP
When the vehicle is turned on, the light
should 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
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
EAU78080Smart key system indicator light
“”
This indicator light will flash when com-
munication between the vehicle and
smart key takes place and when certain
smart key system operations are car-
ried out.
The indicator light may also flash when
there is an error in the smart key sys-
tem.
TIP
When the start switch is pushed, the in-
dicator light will come on for about one
second and then go off. If the indicator
light does not come on or go off as nor-
mal, have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle.
