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 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 and malfunction of
the emission control system. Therefore
the MIL may come on or flash due to
vehicle modifications, lack of mainte-
nance, or excessive/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 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 V-belt and drive belt (if
equipped) properly.

TIP The ABS performs a self-diagnos-
tic test each time the vehicle is
turned on and travels at a speed of
10 km/h (6 mi/h) or higher. During
this test, a clicking noise can be
heard and if either brake lever is
even slightly applied, a vibration
can be felt at the lever, but this
does 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.
EAU78614
Traction control systemThe traction control system helps
maintain traction when accelerating on
slippery surfaces, such as unpaved or
wet roads. If sensors detect that the
rear wheel is starting to slip (uncon-
trolled spinning), the traction control
system assists by regulating engine
power until traction is restored.
When traction control has engaged,
the “ ” indicator light will flash. You
may notice changes in engine re-
sponse or exhaust sound.
WARNING
EWA18860
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.

5 Setting
the traction control system
When the vehicle is turned on, traction
control is automatically turned on.
To turn the traction control system off,
use the “INFO” switch to change the
information display to the traction con-
trol system display. Then hold the “IN-
FO” switch for three seconds. The
display will show “TCSOFF”, and the
“TCS” indicator light will come on.
TIPTurn 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 8-17.) Usin g different size d
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controllin g tire rotation
accurately.
Resettin g the traction control sys-
tem
The traction control system will auto-
matically disable under certain condi-
tions; such as when a sensor fault is
detected, or when only one wheel is al-
lowed to rotate for more than a few
seconds. Should this happen, the “ ”
indicator light will come on, and possi-
bly the “ ” warning light, too.
