ABS The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con-
trol system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently. The ABS is
monitored by an ECU, which will have
recourse to manual braking if a mal-
function occurs.
WARNING
EWA10090


The ABS performs best on long
braking distances.


On certain (rough or gravel)
roads, the braking distance may
be longer with than without the
ABS. Therefore, always keep a
sufficient distance to the vehicle
ahead to match the riding
speed.
TIP

The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test for a few seconds each
time the vehicle first starts off after
the key was turned to “ON ”. During
this test, a “ clicking” noise can be
heard from under the seat, and if
the brake lever or brake pedal are even slightly applied, a vibration
can be felt at the lever and pedal,
but these do not indicate a mal-
function.


When the ABS is activated, the
brakes are operated in the usual
way. A pulsating action may be felt
at the brake lever or brake pedal,
but this does not indicate a mal-
function.


This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience the
pulsating at the brake lever or
brake pedal when the ABS is oper-
ating. However, special tools are
required, so please consult your
Yamaha dealer when performing
this test.
NOTICE
ECA16830
Keep any type of magnets (including
magnetic pick-up tools, magnetic
screwdrivers, etc.) away from the
front and rear wheel hubs; other-
wise, the magnetic rotors equipped
in the wheel hubs may be damaged,
resulting in improper performance
of the ABS and the unified brake
system.

Traction control system The traction control system helps main-
tain traction when accelerating on slip-
pery surfaces, such as unpaved or wet
roads. If sensors detect that the rear
wheel is starting to slip (uncontrolled
spinning), the traction control system
assists by regulating engine power as
needed until traction is restored. The
traction control system indicator/warn-
ing light flashes to let the rider know
that traction control has engaged.TIPThe rider may also notice slight chang-
es in engine and exhaust sounds when
the traction control system is engaged.
WARNING
EWA15431
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 motorcycle, ap-proach surfaces that may be
slippery with caution and avoid es-
pecially slippery surfaces.
There are three traction control system
modes:

“
TCS ” mode “1 ”: Default mode


“TCS ” mode “2 ”: Sporty mode
This mode decreases traction con-
trol system assist, allowing the
rear wheel to spin more freely than
“ TCS ” mode “1 ”.


“TCS ” mode “Off ”: The traction
control system is turned off. The
system may also be automatically
disabled in some riding conditions
(see “Resetting ” on page 3-22).
When the key is turned to “ON ”, the
traction control system is enabled and
“ TCS ” “ 1 ” displays in the multi-function
meter.
The traction control system mode can
be changed only when the key is in the
“ ON ” position, the engine is stopped
and the vehicle is not moving.
TIPUse “TCS ” mode “ Off” to help free the
rear wheel if the motorcycle gets stuck
in mud, sand, or other soft surfaces.NOTICE
ECA16800
Use only the specified tires. (See
page 6-18.) Using different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controlling tire rotation
accurately.Setting the traction control system
WARNING
EWA15440
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
making any setting changes to the
traction control system. Changing
settings while riding can distract the
operator and increase the risk of an
accident.Push the traction control system switch
on the multi-function meter for less than
one second to change between “TCS ”
modes “1 ” and “2 ”. Push the switch for
at least two seconds to select “ TCS”
mode “Off ” and turn the traction control

turn to the previously selected mode
“1 ”
or “2 ”.
Resetting
The traction control system will be dis-
abled in the following conditions:


The rear wheel is rotated with the
centerstand down and the key in
the “ON ” position.


Either the front wheel or rear wheel
comes off the ground while riding.


Excessive rear wheel spinning
If the traction control system has been
disabled, both the traction control sys-
tem indicator/warning light and the en-
gine trouble warning light come on. To reset the traction control system:
Turn the key to
“OFF ”. Wait at least one
second, then turn the key back to “ON ”.
The traction control system indica-
tor/warning light should go off and the
system will be enabled. The engine
trouble warning light should go off after
the motorcycle reaches at least 20
km/h (12 mi/h). If the traction control
system indicator light/warning light
and/or engine trouble warning light still
remain on after resetting, the motorcy-
cle may still be ridden; however, have a
Yamaha dealer check the motorcycle as soon as possible.

the key cannot be removed if the cap is
not properly closed and locked.
WARNING
EWA11091
Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly closed after filling fuel.
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard.
EAU13221
Fuel Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10881
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, follow
these 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.
[ECA10071]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel tank cap.
WARNING
EWA15151
Gasoline is poisonous and can
cause injury or death. Handle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gaso-
line by mouth. If you should swallow
some gasoline or inhale a lot of gas-
oline vapor, or get some gasoline in
your eyes, see your doctor immedi-1. Fuel tank filler tube
