Clutch lever
The clutch lever is located on the left
side of the handlebar. To disengage
the clutch, pull the lever toward the
handlebar grip. To engage the clutch,
release the lever. The lever should be
pulled rapidly and released slowly for
smooth clutch operation.
The clutch lever is equipped with a
clutch lever position adjusting dial. To
adjust the distance between the clutch
lever and the handlebar grip, turn the
adjusting dial while holding the lever
pushed away from the handlebar grip.
Make sure that the appropriate setting
on the adjusting dial is aligned with the
arrow mark on the clutch lever.
The clutch lever is equipped with a
clutch switch, which is part of the igni-
tion circuit cut-off system. (See page
3-40.)

Brake lever
The brake lever is located on the right
side of the handlebar. To apply the
front brake, pull the lever toward the
throttle grip.
This model is equipped with a unified
brake system.
When pulling the brake lever, the front
brake and a portion of the rear brake
are applied. For full braking perfor-
mance, apply both the brake lever and
the brake pedal simultaneously.
The unified brake system is monitored
by an ECU, which disables unified
braking and resumes conventional
braking if a malfunction occurs.
TIP
 Resistance and vibration may be
felt in the brake pedal while the
front brake is being applied and
the unified brake system is en-
abled, but this does not indicate a
malfunction.
 The unified brake system does not
function until the vehicle starts
moving.
 After coming to a stop while ap-
plying the brake lever, the unified
brake system is still enabled. As
further squeezing of the brake le-
ver will not increase the braking
power of the rear brake, apply the
rear brake should further braking
power be necessary (such as
when parking on a slope).
The unified brake system disables
after the brake lever is released.
The brake system then reverts to
the conventional type. When the vehicle starts moving,
the unified brake system is re-en-
abled.
 The unified brake system does not
function when the brake pedal is
applied alone or before the brake
lever is applied.
The brake lever is equipped with a
brake lever position adjusting dial. To
adjust the distance between the brake
lever and the throttle grip, turn the ad-
justing dial while holding the lever
pushed away from the throttle grip.
Make sure that the appropriate setting
on the adjusting dial is aligned with
the “ ” mark on the brake lever.

Brake ped al
The brake pedal is located on the right
side of the motorcycle. To apply the
rear brake, press down on the brake
pedal.
TIP
Resistance and vibration may be felt in
the brake pedal while the front brake is
being applied and the unified brake
system is enabled, but this does not in-
dicate a malfunction.
EAU73181
ABS
This model’s anti-lock brake system
(ABS) features a dual electronic control
system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently.
Operate the brakes with ABS as you
would conventional brakes. If the ABS
is activated, a pulsating sensation may
be felt at the brake lever or brake ped-
al. In this situation, continue to apply
the brakes and let the ABS work; do
not “pump” the brakes as this will re-
duce braking effectiveness.
WARNING
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient d istance
from the vehicle ahead to match the
ri din g speed even with ABS.
 The ABS performs b est with
lon g b rakin g d istances.
 On certain surfaces, such as
rou gh or g ravel roa ds, the b rak-
in g d istance may be lon ger with
the ABS than without.
The ABS is monitored by an ECU,
which will revert the system to conven-
tional braking if a malfunction occurs.
TIP
 The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test each time the vehicle first
starts off after the key is turned to
“ON” and the vehicle has traveled
at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or
higher. During this test, a “click-
ing” noise may be heard from the
hydraulic control unit, and if the
brake lever or brake pedal is even
slightly applied, a vibration can be
felt at the lever and pedal, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.


This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience
the pulsation at the brake lever or
brake pedal when the ABS is op-
erating. However, special tools are
required, so please consult your
Yamaha dealer.
NOTICE

Keep any type of mag nets (includin g
ma gnetic pick-up tools, mag netic

wise, the ma gnetic rotors equippe d

EAU58953
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
settin gs while ri din g can d istract the
operator an d increase the risk of an
acci dent.
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.
