been set.
Automatic deactivation of the cruisecontrol systemThe cruise control system is electroni-
cally controlled and linked with other
control systems. The cruise control
system 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 automat-
ically deactivated, the “ ” indicator

tor light will flash for 4 seconds.
If the cruise control system was auto-
matically deactivated, please stop and
confirm that your vehicle is in good op-
erating condition before continuing on.

When going uphill, the actual trav-
eling speed may become lower
than the set cruising speed. If this
occurs, accelerate to the desired
traveling speed using the throttle.
 When going downhill, the actual
traveling speed may become
higher than the set cruising speed.
If this occurs, the setting switch
cannot be used to adjust the set
cruising speed. To reduce the
traveling speed, apply the brakes.
When the brakes are applied, the
cruise control system will deacti-
vate.

Malfunction in dicator li ght
(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 flashin g, re duce en-
g ine spee d to prevent exhaust sys-
tem damag e.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.). 
Do not remove or alter the O2 sen-
sor, air induction system, or ex-
haust parts (catalysts or EXUP,
etc.).
 Maintain proper V-belt and drive
belt (if equipped).
 Maintain correct tire pressure.
 Do not operate the vehicle in an
extreme manner. For example, re-
peated or excessive opening and
closing of the throttle, racing,
burnouts, wheelies, etc.
EAU77075
ABS warnin g li ght “ ”
This warning light comes on when a
problem is detected with the ABS. (See
page 5-19.)
When the vehicle power is turned on,
this light will come on and then go off
after 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 high-
er
 comes on or flashes while riding
