EAU12942
Brake pedalThe brake pedal is on the right side of
the motorcycle. To apply the rear
brake, press down on the brake pedal.
EAU51862
Traction control systemThe traction control system helps
maintain traction when accelerating. If
sensors detect that the rear wheel is
starting to slip (uncontrolled spinning),
the traction control system assists by
regulating engine power as needed un-
til traction is restored. The traction con-
trol system indicator/warning light
flashes to let the rider know that trac-
tion control has engaged.
WARNING
EWA15432
The traction control system is not a
substitute 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 brakin g,
an d cannot prevent front wheel slip-
pin g. As with any motorcycle, ap-
proach surfaces that may be
slippery with caution an d avoi d es-
pecially slippery surfaces.
TIP The traction control may engage
when the vehicle travels over a
bump.
 The rider may notice slight chang-
es in engine and exhaust sounds
when the traction control system
is engaged.There are six traction control system
modes and an off mode.
 “TCS” mode 1 provides for the
least traction control system as-
sist.

• Regularly check and, if necessary, correct the brake fluid level.
• Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers, and change the brake fluid.
• Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.29 *Throttle grip • Check operation.

Brake light switchesThe brake light, which is activated by
the brake pedal and brake lever,
should come on just before braking
takes effect. If necessary, adjust the
rear brake light switch as follows, but
the front brake light switch should be
adjusted by a Yamaha dealer.
Turn the rear brake light switch adjust-
ing nut while holding the rear brake
light switch in place. To make the
brake light come on earlier, turn the ad-
justing nut in direction (a). To make the
brake light come on later, turn the ad-
justing nut in direction (b).

Checkin g the front an d rear
b rake pa dsThe front and rear brake pads must be
checked for wear at the intervals spec-
ified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
EAU43063
Front brake pa ds
The front brake calipers are equipped
with two sets of brake pads.
Each front brake pad is provided with
one or two wear indicator grooves,
which allow you to check the brake
pad wear without having to disassem-
ble the brake. To check the brake pad
wear, check the wear indicator
grooves. If a brake pad has worn to the point that a wear indicator groove al-
most appears, have a Yamaha dealer
replace the brake pads as a set.
EAU46292
Rear
brake pad s
Each rear brake pad is provided with
wear indicator grooves, which allow
you to check the brake pad wear with-
out having to disassemble the brake.
To check the brake pad wear, check
the wear indicator grooves. If a brake
pad has worn to the point that a wear
indicator groove almost appears, have
a Yamaha dealer replace the brake
pads as a set.
