Quick shifterThe quick shifter allows for clutch le-
ver-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.
The quick shifter does not operate
when the clutch lever is pulled, there-
fore normal shifting can be done even
when the quick shifter is set to on.
Check the quick shifter indicator for cur-
rent status and usability information.
Upshifting conditions

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 de-
signed to engage and maximize brak-
ing when the vehicle is upright.
BC2 uses additional data from the IMU
to regulate applied brake power when
cornering to suppress lateral wheel slip.

Fuel level warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on when the
fuel level drops below approximately
2.7 L (0.71 US gal, 0.59 Imp.gal). When
this occurs, refuel as soon as possible.
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by turning the vehicle
on. The warning light should come on
for a few seconds, and then go off.TIPIf the warning light does not come on at all, remains on after refueling, or if the
warning light flashes repeatedly, have

Malfunction indicator 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 elec-
trical 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 flashing, reduce en-
gine speed to prevent exhaust sys-tem damage.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 accesso-
ries that interfere with engine con-
trol.

Do not use aftermarket accesso-
ries or parts such as suspension,
spark plugs, injectors, exhaust
system, etc.
