Turn signal indicator lights “ ” and
“”
Each indicator light will flash when its
corresponding turn signal lights are
flashing.
EAU88300
Neutral indicator light “ ”
This indicator light comes on when the
transmission is in the neutral position.
EAU88310
High beam indicator light “ ”
This indicator light comes on when the
high beam of the headlight is switched
on.
EAU88320
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
a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
EAU91650
Cruise control indicator lights “ ”/
“”
These indicator lights come on when
the cruise control system is activated.
(See page 3-1.)TIPWhen the vehicle is turned on, these
lights should come on for a few sec-
onds and then go off. Otherwise, havea Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
EAU88331
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.


Maintain the drive chain properly.

Maintain correct tire pressure.

Maintain proper brake pedal
height to prevent rear brake from

Do not operate the vehicle in an
extreme manner. For example, re-
peated or excessive opening and
closing of the throttle, racing, burn-
outs, wheelies, extendedhalf-clutch use, etc.

ABS warning light “ ”
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 de-
scribed 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.
WARNING
EWA21120
If the ABS warning light does not
turn off after reaching 5 km/h (3
mi/h), or if the warning light comes
on while riding: 
Use extra caution to avoid pos-
sible wheel lock during emer-
gency braking.

Have a Yamaha dealer check thevehicle as soon as possible.
EAU88350
Immobilizer system indicator light
“”
When the main switch is turned off and
30 seconds have passed, the indicator
light will flash steadil
y to indicate the im-
mobilizer system is enabled. After 24
hours have passed, the indicator light
will stop flashing, however the immobi-
lizer system is still enabled.TIPWhen the vehicle is turned on, this light should come on for a few seconds and
then go off. If the light does not come
on, or if the light remains on, have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
Transponder interference
If the immobilizer system indicator light
flashes in the pattern, slowly 5 times
then quickly 2 times, this could be
caused by transponder interference. If
this occurs, try the following.
1. Make sure there are no other im- mobilizer keys close to the main
switch.
2. Use the code re-registering key to start the engine.
3. If the engine starts, turn it off, and try starting the engine with the
standard keys.
4. If one or both of the standard keys do not start the engine, take the
vehicle and all 3 keys to a Yamaha
dealer to have the standard keys
re-registered.

this light should come on until the
engine is started.

If a malfunction is detected, this
light will come on and the oil pres-sure icon will flash.
NOTICE

Brake pedalThe brake pedal is located on the right
side of the motorcycle. To apply the
rear brake, press down on the brake
pedal.
EAU91461
Brake control system (BC)The brake control system regulates hy-
draulic brake pressure for the front and
rear wheels independently when the
brakes are applied and wheel lock is
detected. This system has two settings
which can be changed in the settings
MENU. (See page 4-17.)
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.
Regarding ABS, operate the brakes as
you would conventional brakes. When
the brake control system engages, a
pulsating sensation may be felt at the
brake lever or brake pedal as the hy-
draulic unit rapidly applies and reduces
brake pressure. In this situation, contin-
ue to apply the brake lever and brake
pedal to allow the ABS to work—do not
“pump the brakes” as this will reduce
braking effectiveness.
WARNING
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient distance
from the vehicle ahead to match the
riding speed even with ABS.
The ABS performs best with
long braking distances.

On certain surfaces, such as
rough or gravel roads, the brak-
ing distance may be longer withthe ABS than without.
The ABS hydraulic unit is monitored by
the ABS ECU, which will revert the sys-
tem to conventional braking if a mal-
function occurs.WARNING
EWA20891
The brake control system is not a
substitute for the use of proper rid-
ing and braking techniques. The
brake control system cannot pre-
vent all loss of traction due to
over-braking from excessive speed,
or lateral wheel slip when braking onslippery surfaces.TIPThe ABS performs a self-diagnostic

Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly closed after filling fuel.Leaking fuel is a fire hazard.
EAU13222
FuelMake sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, followthese instructions.
1. Before refueling, turn off the en- gine and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters and
clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler
hole. Stop filling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the filler
tube. Because fuel expands when
it heats up, heat from the engine or
the sun can cause fuel to spill out
of the fuel tank. 3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately. NOTICE: Immediately wipe
off spilled fuel with a clean, dry,
soft cloth, since fuel may deteri-
orate painted surfaces or plastic
parts.
[ECA10072]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel tank cap.
WARNING
EWA15152
Gasoline is poisonous and can
cause injury or death. Handle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gaso-
