Shift pe dalThe shift pedal is located on the left
side of the engine. To shift the trans-
mission to a higher gear, move the shift
pedal up. To shift the transmission to a
lower gear, move the shift pedal down.
(See page 5-2.)TIPWhen the quick shift system is turned
on, the shift switch senses shift pedal
movement and allows for upshifting
without operating the clutch lever.
EAU84330
Quick shift systemThe quick shift system (QS) allows for
full-throttle, clutch lever-less, electron-
ically-assisted upshifts. When the shift
switch detects motion in the shift pedal
(page 3-26), engine power and drive
torque are momentarily adjusted to al-
low the upshift to occur.TIP The quick shift system operates
when traveling at least 20 km/h (12
mi/h) with an engine speed of
2300 r/min or higher, and only
when accelerating.
 It does not operate when the
clutch lever is pulled.
EAU26826
Brake leverThe brake lever is located on the right
side of the handlebar. To apply the
front brake, pull the lever toward the
throttle grip.
The brake lever is equipped with a
brake lever position adjusting dial. To
adjust the distance between the brake
lever and the throttle grip, slightly pull
the brake lever away from the throttle
grip and rotate the adjusting dial. Make
sure the setting number on the adjust-
ing dial aligns with the match mark on
the brake lever.

Brake ped alThe brake pedal is located on the right
side of the motorcycle. To apply the
rear brake, press down on the brake
pedal.
EAU63040
ABSThe Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con-
trol system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently.
Operate the brakes with ABS as you
would conventional brakes. If the ABS
is activated, a pulsating sensation may
be felt at the brake lever or brake ped-
al. In this situation, continue to apply
the brakes and let the ABS work; do
not “pump” the brakes as this will re-
duce braking effectiveness.
WARNING
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient distance
from the vehicle ahea d to match the
ri din g spee d even with ABS.
 The ABS performs best with
lon g b rakin g d istances.
 On certain surfaces, such as
rou gh or g ravel roa ds, the b rak-
in g d istance may b e longer with
the ABS than without.The ABS is monitored by an ECU,
which will revert the system to conven-
tional braking if a malfunction occurs.
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.

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.

3 The “ ” indicator light comes on
when traction control has been turned
off.
The TCS display indicates the current
TCS setting. There are three settings.
TCS “OFF”
: Turns the traction control
system off.
TCS “1” : Minimizes traction control
system assist.
TCS “2” : Maximizes traction control
assist; wheel spin is most strongly con-
trolled.
TIP When the vehicle is turned 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.Setting the traction control system
WARNING
EWA15441
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
makin g any settin g chan ges to the
traction control system. Chan gin g
settin gs while ri din g can d istract the
operator an d increase the risk of an
acci dent.TCS settings can be changed only
when the vehicle is stopped and the
throttle closed.
 Push the TCS switch “ ” to
change the TCS setting to TCS
“1” and push the TCS switch “ ”
to change the TCS setting to TCS
“2”.
 Push the TCS switch “ ” for two
seconds to turn the traction con-
trol system off. 
Push the TCS switch “ ” to turn
traction control back on (TCS will
return to the previous setting).
Resettin g the traction control sys-
tem
The traction control system will auto-
matically disable when:  the front wheel or rear wheel
comes off the ground while riding.
 excessive rear wheel spin is de-
tected while riding.
 either wheel is rotated with the
main switch turned on (such as
when performing maintenance).
If the traction control system is dis-
abled, both the “ ” indicator light and
the “ ” warning light will come on.

Should this occur, try resetting the sys-
tem as follows. 1. Stop the vehicle and turn the main switch off.
2. Wait a few seconds and then turn the main switch on.
3. The “ ” indicator light should turn off and the system be en-
abled.
TIPIf the “ ” indicator light remains on af-
ter resetting, the vehicle may still be
ridden; however, have a Yamaha deal-
er check the vehicle as soon as possi-
ble.
4. Have a Yamaha dealer check thevehicle and turn off the “ ”

EAU13222
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.
[ECA10072]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel tank cap.
WARNING

Gasoline is poisonous an d can cau-
se injury or death. Han dle gasoline
with care. Never siphon gasoline by
mouth. If you shoul d swallow some

TIPThis model is equipped with:  a lean angle sensor. This sensor
stops the engine in case of a vehi-
cle turnover. If this happens, the
engine trouble warning light will
come on, but this is not a malfunc-
tion. Turn the vehicle power off
and then back on again to cancel
the warning light. Failing to do so
will prevent the engine from start-
ing even though the engine will
crank when pushing the start
switch.
 an engine auto-stop system. The
engine stops automatically if left
idling for 20 minutes. If the engine
stops, simply push the start
switch to restart the engine.
