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
hydraulic control unit, and if the
brake lever or brake pedal is even
slightly applied, a vibration can be
felt at the lever and pedal, but
these do not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
 This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience
the pulsation at the brake lever or
brake pedal when the ABS is op-
erating. However, special tools are
required, so please consult your
Yamaha dealer.NOTICE
ECA20100
Be careful not to d amage the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of the
ABS will result.
EAU76314
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 as needed until traction
is restored.
WARNING
EWA15433
The traction control system is not a
su bstitute 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 brakin g,
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 has
been set to “OFF”, the “ ” indicator
light will come on.
The TCS display indicates the current
TCS setting. There are three settings.
TCS “OFF”
TCS “OFF” turns the traction control
system off.
TCS “1” TCS “1” minimizes traction control
system assist.
TCS “2”
TCS “2” maximizes traction control as-
sist; wheel spin is most strongly con-
trolled.
TIP
When the key is turned to “ON”,
traction control is turned on and
set to “1” or “2” (whichever was
last selected).
 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 specifie d tires. (See
pa ge 6-16.) Usin g different size d
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controllin g tire rotation
accurately.

Should this occur, try resetting the sys-
tem as follows. 1. Stop the vehicle and turn the key to “OFF”.
2. Wait a few seconds and then turn the key back to “ON”. 3. The “ ” indicator light should

FuelMake sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
Gasoline an d g asoline vapors are
extremely flamma ble. To avoi d fires
an d explosions an d to re duce the
risk of injury when refuelin g, follow
these instructions.1. Before refueling, turn off the en- gine and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters
and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler
hole. Stop filling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the filler
tube. Because fuel expands when
it heats up, heat from the engine or
the sun can cause fuel to spill out
of the fuel tank. 3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately. NOTICE: Immediately
wipe off spille d fuel with a clean,
d ry, soft cloth, since fuel may
d eteriorate painted surfaces or
plastic parts.
