WARNING
EWA16041
If the ABS warning light does not go
off after traveling at a speed of 10
km/h (6 mi/h) or higher, or if the
warning light comes on or flashes
while riding, the brake system re-
verts to conventional braking. If ei-
ther of the above occurs, or if the
warning light does not come on at
all, use extra caution to avoid possi-
ble wheel lock during emergency
braking. Have a Yamaha dealer
check the brake system and electri-cal circuits as soon as possible.
EAU67431
Shift timing indicator light
This indicator light can be set to come
on and go off at the desired engine
speeds and is used to inform the rider
when it is time to shift to the next higher
gear. (See page 4-24.)
The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked by turning the key to ON. The indicator light should come
on for a few seconds, and then go off.
If the indicator light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to ON, or
if the indicator light remains on, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical cir-
cuit.
EAU73120
Immobilizer system indicator light
“”
When the key is turned to “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.
The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked by turning the key
to “ON”. The indicator light should
come on for a few seconds, and then
go off.
If the indicator light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ON”,
if the indicator light remains on, or if the
indicator light flashes in a pattern (if a
problem is detected in the immobilizer
system, the immobilizer system indica- tor light will flash in a pattern), have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
TIPIf the immobilizer system indicator light
flashes in the pattern, slowly 5 times
then quickly 2 times, this could be
caused by transponder interference. Ifthis occurs, try the following.
1. Make sure there are no other im- mobilizer keys close to the main
switch. Other immobilizer system
keys may cause signal interfer-
ence and prevent the engine from
starting.
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.

TIP
TCS can only be turned on or off
via the main screen using the
mode switch.

When TCS has been turned off,
TCS, SCS, LCS, and LIF will be
set to OFF and cannot be adjust-
ed. When TCS is turned on again,
these related-traction control func-
tions will return to their previoussetting levels.
SCS
SCS can be set to OFF, 1, 2, and 3.
OFF turns the slide control system off,
setting level 1 provides the least amount of system intervention, and set-
ting level 3 provides the greatest
amount of system intervention.
LCS
LCS can be set to 1, 2, or OFF. Setting
level 2 more strongly controls power
engine output, while setting level 1 ap-
plies less system intervention. OFF dis-
ables the LCS function from the
selected YRC mode (the LCS icon will
not appear and the launch control func-
tion cannot be activated).
When LCS has been set to level 1 or 2
for the selected YRC mode, the LCS in-
dicator on the main screen will appear
in a grey color to indicate that LCS isavailable. When the launch control sys-
tem has been activated (made ready
for use via the mode switch), the LCS
indicator will turn white.
TIPLCS works in conjunction with the LIF
system. LCS cannot be used if LIF isturned off.
QSS
QSS can be set to 1, 2, or OFF. Setting
level 1 gives the fastest shifts, while
setting level 2 gives slightly smoother
shifts. OFF turns the system off entire-
ly, and the clutch lever must then be
used when making upshifts.TIPTurning the QSS on or off does not af-
fect any other systems nor is QSS af-
fected by the settings of any othersystem.
LIF
LIF can be set to 1, 2, 3, or OFF. Setting
level 3 most strongly reduces wheel lift,
