cruise control setting switch down will
increase or decrease the speed contin-
uously until the switch is released.
You can also manually increase your
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.TIPThe current cruise control speed set-
ting can be viewed on the vehicle infor-
mation displays. (See page 4-10.)Deactivatin
g the cruise control sys-
tem
Perform one of the following opera-
tions to cancel the set cruising speed.
The “ ” indicator light will go off. Turn the throttle grip past the
closed position in the deceleration
direction.
Apply the front or rear brake.
Disengage the clutch.
Shift gears
Push the power switch to turn off the
cruise control system. The “ ” indi-
cator light and the “ ” indicator light
will go off.
TIPTraveling speed decreases as soon as
the cruise control system is deactivat-
ed; unless the throttle grip is turned.Usin g the resume function
Push the “RES+” side of the cruise
control setting switch to reactivate the
cruise control system. The traveling speed will return to the previously set
cruising speed. The “ ” indicator
light will come on.
WARNING
EWA16351
It is d
angerous to use the resume
function when the previously set
cruisin g speed is too hi gh for current
con ditions.TIPPushing the power switch while the
system is operating will turn the sys-
tem off completely and erase the previ-
ously set cruising speed. You will not
be able to use the resume function until
a new cruising speed has been set.Automatic deactivation of the cruisecontrol systemThe cruise control system for this mod-
el is electronically controlled and is
linked with the other control systems.
The cruise control system will auto-
matically become deactivated under
the following conditions:
The cruise control system is not
able to maintain the set cruising
speed.

TIPSet “TCS-MODE” to “OFF” to help free
the rear wheel if the motorcycle gets
stuck in mud, sand, or other soft sur-
faces.NOTICE
ECA16801
Use only the specified tires. (See
pa ge 7-15.) Usin g different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controllin g tire rotation
accurately.SCS
The slide control system regulates en-
gine power output when a sideward
slide is detected in the rear wheel. It
adjusts power output based on data
from the IMU (Inertial Measurement
Unit). This system supports the TCS to
contribute to a smoother ride.
LIF
The lift control system reduces the rate
at which the front wheel rises during
extreme acceleration, such as during
starts or out-of-corner exits. When
front-wheel lift is detected, engine power is regulated to slow front-wheel
lift while still providing good accelera-
tion.
EAU91340
QSSThe quick shift system allows for clutch
lever-less, electronically-assisted shift-
ing. When the sensor on the shift rod
detects the appropriate motion in the
shift pedal, engine power output is mo-
mentarily adjusted to allow for the gear
change to occur.
QSS does not operate when the clutch
lever is pulled, therefore normal shifting
can be done even when QSS is set to
on. Check the QS indicator for current
status and usability information.

BCThe brake control system regulates hy-
draulic brake pressure for the front and
rear wheels when the brakes are ap-
plied and wheel lock is detected. This
system has two settings.
BC1 is standard ABS, which adjusts
brake pressure based on vehicle
speed and wheel speed data. BC1 is
designed to engage and maximize
braking when the vehicle is upright.
BC2 uses additional data from the IMU
to regulate applied brake power when
cornering to suppress lateral wheel
slip.
WARNING
EWA20891
The brake control system is not a
su bstitute for the use of proper ri d-
in g an d brakin g techniques. The
b rake control system cannot pre-
vent all loss of traction d ue to over-
b rakin g from excessive speed , or
lateral wheel slip when brakin g on
slippery surfaces.

TIPWhen the vehicle is turned on, these
lights should come on for a few sec-
onds and then go off. Otherwise, have
a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
EAU91840
Malfunction ind icator light
(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 turning the 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 ve-
hicle power is turned 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 monitored by
the on-board diagnostic system to de-
tect deterioration or malfunction of the
emission control system. Therefore the
MIL may come on or flash due to vehi-
cle modifications, lack of maintenance,
or excessive/improper use of the mo-
torcycle. 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 the drivetrain
specifications (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 the drive chain properly.
Maintain correct tire pressure.
Maintain proper brake pedal
height to prevent rear brake from
dragging.
Do not operate the vehicle in an
extreme manner. For example, re-
peated or excessive opening and
closing of the throttle, racing,
burnouts, wheelies, extended
half-clutch use, etc.
EAU92700
ABS warnin g lig ht “ ”
In normal operation, the ABS warning
light comes on when the vehicle is
turned on, and goes off after traveling
at a speed of 5 km/h (3 mi/h) or higher.TIPIf the warning light does not work as
described above, or if the warning light
comes on while riding, the ABS may
not work correctly. Have a Yamaha
dealer check the vehicle as soon as
possible.

BC
The brake control system has two set-
tings, BC1 and BC2. Select BC1 when
only standard ABS is desired. Select
BC2 to have the brake control system
further regulate brake pressure while
cornering to suppress lateral wheel
slip.TIPFor skilled riders and when riding at the
track, due to varying conditions, the
BC2 brake system may engage sooner
than expected relative to your desired
cornering speed or intended cornering
line.
QSThe quick shift system indicators are
divided into QS and QS sections.
QS and QS are not linked and
can be independently turned on or off.
QS can be set to ON or OFF.
OFF turns the respective upshift or
downshift function off, and the clutch
lever must then be used when shifting
in that direction.TIPIf the QSS setting cannot be changed:
turn the engine off with the gear posi-
tion set to neutral, then change the set-
ting.
“Shift In
dicator”
This module allows a custom shift indi-
cator to be set. When the engine r/min
(rotations per minute) are in the speci-
fied range, the gear indicator will flash.
This module has 3 options:
“IND Mode” - the shift indicator can be
turned ON/OFF
“IND Start” - the r/min at which the in-
dicator starts flashing can be chosen.
Once selected, rotate the wheel switch
up/down to increase or decrease the
r/min value by increments of 200 r/min.
“IND Start” is settable between 6000 -
12800 r/min.
“IND Stop” - the r/min at which the in-
dicator stops flashing can be chosen.
Once selected, rotate the wheel switch
up/down to increase or decrease the
km/h
