Automatic deactivation of the cruise
control system
The cruise control system for this mod-
el is electronically controlled and is
linked with the other control systems.
The cruise control system will auto-
matically become deactivated under
the following conditions:
 The cruise control system is not
able to maintain the set cruising
speed.
 Wheel slip or wheel spin is detect-
ed. (If the traction control system
has not been turned off, the trac-
tion control system will work.)
 The start/engine stop switch is set
to the “ ” position.
 The engine stalls.
 The sidestand is lowered.
When traveling with a set cruising
speed, if the cruise control system is
deactivated under the above condi-
tions, the “ ” indicator light will go off
and the “SET” indicator light will flash
for 4 seconds, and then go off.
When not traveling with a set cruising
speed, if the start/engine stop switch is
set to the “ ” position, the engine
stalls, or the sidestand is lowered, then
the “ ” indicator light will go off (the
“SET” indicator light will not flash).
If the cruise control system is automat-
ically deactivated, please stop and

Traction control system
The 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 as needed until traction is re-
stored.
WARNING
EWA15433
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 b raking,
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.

3 The traction control system indicator
light flashes when traction control has
engaged. You may notice slight chang-
es in engine and exhaust sounds when
the system has engaged.
When the vehicle is turned on, the trac-
tion control system is turned on and
set to “TCS 1”. The traction control
system modes are as follows.
“TCS 1”
: Default mode
“TCS 2” : Sporty mode
This mode decreases traction control
system assist, allowing the rear wheel
to spin more freely than “TCS 1”.
“TCS OFF” : The traction control sys-
tem is turned off. The system may also
be automatically disabled in some rid-
ing conditions.
TIP
Use the mode “TCS OFF” to help free
the rear wheel if the motorcycle gets
stuck in mud, sand, or other soft sur-
faces.
NOTICE
ECA16801
Use only the specifie d tires. (See
pa ge 6-19.) Usin g different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controllin g tire rotation
accurately.

WARNING
EWA15441
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
makin g any settin g chan ges to the
traction control system. Chan gin g

The traction control system mode can
be changed only when the vehicle is
stopped.
 Push the “TCS” button to change
between modes “1” and “2”.
 Push the button for two seconds
to select “TCS OFF” and turn the
traction control system off. Push
the button again to return to the
previously selected mode.
Resetting
The traction control system will disable
in the following conditions:  excessive rear wheel spinning
 the front or rear wheel comes off
the ground while riding
 either wheel is rotated with the key
turned to “ON” (such as when per-
forming maintenance)
If the traction control system has been
disabled, both the traction control sys-
tem indicator light and the engine trou-
ble warning light come on.
Should this occur, try restting the sys-
tem as follows. 1. Stop the vehicle and turn the key to “OFF”.
2. Wait a few seconds and then turn the key back to “ON”.
3. The traction control system indi- cator light should turn off and the
system be enabled.
TIP
If the traction control system indicator
light remains on after resetting, the mo-
torcycle may still be ridden. However,
have a Yamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle as soon as possible.
