Front brake leverThe front brake lever is located on the
right side of the handlebar. To apply
the front brake, pull this lever toward
the throttle grip.

Rear brake leverThe rear brake lever is located on the
left handlebar grip. To apply the rear
brake, pull the lever toward the handle-
bar grip.
This model is equipped with a unified
brake system.
When pulling the rear brake lever, the
rear brake and a portion of the front
brake are applied. For full braking per-
formance, apply both brake levers si-
multaneously.

TIPAs the unified brake system is me-
chanical, additional free play can
be felt in the front brake lever
when the rear brake lever is being
pulled.
The unified brake system does not
function when the front brake is
applied alone.
EAUU1840
ABSYour leaning multi-wheel vehicle’s ABS
(Anti-lock Brake System) features an
electronic control system, which acts
on each of the front and rear brakes in-
dependently.
Operate the brakes with ABS as you
would conventional brakes. If the ABS
is activated, a pulsating sensation may
be felt at the brake levers. In this situa-
tion, continue to apply the brakes and
let the ABS work; do not “pump” the
brakes as this will reduce braking ef-
fectiveness.
WARNING
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient d istance
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
front of the vehicle, and if either
brake lever is even slightly ap-
plied, a vibration can be felt at the
lever, but these do not indicate a
malfunction.
This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience
the pulsation at the brake levers
when the ABS is operating. How-
ever, special tools are required, so
please consult your Yamaha deal-
er.NOTICE
ECA20100
Be careful not to d amage the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of the
ABS will result.

The ABS warning light should
come on when the main switch is
turned to “ON” and then go off af-
ter traveling at a speed of 10 km/h
(6 mi/h) or higher.
NOTICE
ECA17682
If the ABS warnin
g li ght does not

plaine d a bove, see pa ge 3-2 for the
warnin g li ght circuit check.2. Close the throttle completely.
3. Start the engine by pushing the
start switch while applying the
front or rear brake.
If the engine fails to start, release
the start switch, wait a few sec-
onds, and then try again. Each
starting attempt should be as
short as possible to preserve the
battery. Do not crank the engine
more than 10 seconds on any one
attempt.NOTICE

Startin g off1. While pulling the rear brake lever
with your left hand and holding the
grab bar with your right hand,
push the vehicle off the center-
stand.
2. Sit astride the seat, and then ad- just the rear view mirrors.
3. Switch the turn signals on.
4. Check for oncoming traffic, and then slowly turn the throttle grip
(on the right) in order to take off.
5. Switch the turn signals off.
EAU16782
Acceleration an d d ecelerationThe speed can be adjusted by opening
and closing the throttle. To increase
the speed, turn the throttle grip in di-
rection (a). To reduce the speed, turn
the throttle grip in direction (b).

WARNING
EWA17790
Avoi d b rakin g har d or su ddenly
(especially when leanin g over to
one si de), otherwise the vehicle
may skid or overturn.
Railroa d crossin gs, streetcar
rails, iron plates on roa d con-
struction sites, an d manhole
covers become extremely slip-
pery when wet. Therefore, slow
d own when approachin g such
areas an d cross them with cau-
tion.
Keep in min d that b raking on a
wet roa d is much more difficult.
Ride slowly d own a hill, as brak-
in g d ownhill can b e very diffi-
cult.1. Close the throttle completely.
2. Apply both front and rear brakes simultaneously while gradually in-
creasing the pressure.
EAU16821
Tips for re ducin g fuel con-
sumptionFuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follow-
ing tips to reduce fuel consumption:
Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
Avoid high engine speeds with no
load on the engine.
Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length
of time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traf-
fic lights or at railroad crossings).
EAU16831
Engine break-inThere is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1000 km (600 mi). For
this reason, you should read the fol-
lowing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1000 km (600 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
tle operation or any condition that
might result in engine overheating
must be avoided.
EAU61040
0–150 km (0–90 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/3
throttle.
After every hour of operation, stop the
engine, and then let it cool for five to
ten minutes.
Vary the engine speed from time to
time. Do not operate the engine at one
set throttle position.

thoroughly with water. For additional
cleaning, use Yamaha Windshield
Cleaner or another high-quality wind-
shield cleaner. Some cleaning com-
pounds for plastics may leave
scratches on the windshield. Before
using such cleaners, test an area of the
windshield which does not affect your
visibility and which cannot be easily
recognized.
After cleanin
g
1. Dry the vehicle with a chamois or an absorbing cloth.
2. Use a chrome polish to shine chrome, aluminum, and stainless-
steel parts, including the exhaust
system. (Even the thermally in-
duced discoloring of stainless-
steel exhaust systems can be re-
moved through polishing.)
3. To prevent corrosion, it is recom- mended to apply a corrosion pro-
tection spray on all metal,
including chrome- and nickel-plat-
ed surfaces.
4. Use spray oil as a universal clean- er to remove any remaining dirt. 5. Touch up minor paint damage
caused by stones, etc.
6. Wax all painted surfaces.
7. Let the vehicle dry completely be- fore storing or covering it.
WARNING
EWA17830
Contaminants on the b rakes or tires
can cause loss of control. Make sure that there is no oil or
wax on the b rakes or tires. If
necessary, clean the brake
d iscs an d b rake linin gs with a
re gular brake disc cleaner or
acetone, an d wash the tires with
warm water an d a mil d d eter-
g ent.
Before operatin g the vehicle
test its brakin g performance
an d cornerin g b ehavior.NOTICE
ECAU0022
Apply spray oil an d wax spar-
in gly an d make sure to wipe off
any excess.
Never apply oil or wax to any
rubber parts, plastic parts or
hea dlig ht, tailli ght and meter
lenses, but treat them with a
suita ble care pro duct.
Avoi d using abrasive polishin g
compoun ds as they will wear
away the paint.
TIP Consult a Yamaha dealer for ad-
vice on what products to use.
Washing, rainy weather or humid
climates can cause the headlight
lens to fog. Turning the headlight
on for a short period of time will
help remove the moisture from the
lens.
