more information on
“TCS-MODE”.

When “TCS-MODE” has been set
to “OFF”, the traction control sys-
tem, SCS and LIF systems are allturned off together.WARNING
EWA15433
The traction control system is not a
substitute for riding appropriately
for the conditions. Traction control
cannot prevent loss of traction due
to excessive speed when entering
turns, when accelerating hard at a
sharp lean angle, or while braking,
and cannot prevent front wheel slip-
ping. As with any vehicle, approach
surfaces that may be slippery with
caution and avoid especially slip-pery surfaces.
When the vehicle power is on, the trac-
tion control system automatically turns
on. The traction control system can be
turned on or off manually only when the
key is in the “ON” position and the mo-
torcycle is stopped.
TIPSet “TCS-MODE” to “OFF” to help free
the rear wheel if the motorcycle gets
stuck in mud, sand, or other soft surfac-es.NOTICE
ECA16801
Use only the specified tires. (See
page 7-16.) Using different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controlling tire rotationaccurately.
SCS
The slide control system regulates en-
gine power output when a sideward
slide is detected in the rear wheel. It ad-
justs power output based on data from
the IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit).
This system supports the traction con-
trol system to contribute to a smoother
ride.
LIF
The lift control system reduces the rate
at which the front wheel rises during ex-
treme acceleration, such as during starts or out-of-corner exits. When
front-wheel lift is detected, engine pow-
er is regulated to slow front-wheel lift
while still providing good acceleration.

Immobilizer systemThis vehicle is equipped with an immo-
bilizer system to help prevent theft by
re-registering codes in the standard
keys. This system consists of the fol-
lowing:
a code re-registering key

two standard keys

a transponder (in each key)

an immobilizer unit (on the vehicle)

an ECU (on the vehicle)

a system indicator light (page 4-7)
About the keys
The code re-registering key is used to
register codes in each standard key. Store the code re-registering key in a
safe place. Use a standard key for daily
operation.
When key replacement or re-register-
ing is necessary, bring the vehicle and
the code re-registering key along with
any remaining standard keys to a
Yamaha dealer to have them re-regis-
tered.
TIP
Keep the standard keys as well as
keys of other immobilizer systems
away from the code re-registering
key.

Keep other immobilizer system
keys away from the main switch as
they may cause signal interfer-ence.
NOTICE
ECA11823
DO NOT LOSE THE CODE RE-REG-
ISTERING KEY! CONTACT YOUR
DEALER IMMEDIATELY IF IT IS
LOST! If the code re-registering key
is lost, the existing standard keys
can still be used to start the vehicle.
However, registering a new stan-
dard key is impossible. If all keyshave been lost or damaged, the en-
tire immobilizer system must be re-
placed. Therefore, handle the keys
carefully.

Do not submerse in water.

Do not expose to high tempera-
tures.

Do not place near magnets.

Do not place near items that
transmit electrical signals.
