Immobilizer systemThis vehicle is equipped with an immo-
bilizer system to help prevent theft by
re-registering codes in the standard
keys. This system consists of the fol-
lowing:
a code re-registering key

two standard keys

a transponder (in each key)

an immobilizer unit (on the vehicle)

an ECU (on the vehicle)

a system indicator light (page 4-7)
About the keys
The key with the red bow is used to reg-
ister codes in each standard key. Store the code re-registering key in a safe
place. When necessary, take the vehi-
cle along with all three keys to a
Yamaha dealer to have them re-regis-
tered.
Do not use the key with the red bow for
driving. It should only be used for
re-registering the standard keys. Al-
ways use a standard key for driving.
TIP
Keep the standard keys as well as
keys of other immobilizer systems
away from the code re-registering
key.

Keep other immobilizer system
keys away from the main switch as
they may cause signal interfer-ence.
NOTICE
ECA11823
DO NOT LOSE THE CODE RE-REG-
ISTERING KEY! CONTACT YOUR
DEALER IMMEDIATELY IF IT IS
LOST! If the code re-registering key
is lost, the existing standard keys
can still be used to start the vehicle.
However, registering a new stan-
dard key is impossible. If all keyshave been lost or damaged, the en-
tire immobilizer system must be re-
placed. Therefore, handle the keys
carefully.

Do not submerse in water.

Do not expose to high tempera-
tures.

Do not place near magnets.

Do not place near items that
transmit electrical signals.

Do not handle roughly.

Do not grind or alter.

Do not disassemble.

Do not put two keys of any im-
mobilizer system on the samekey ring.
1. Code re-registering key (red bow)
2. Standard keys (black bow)

This warning light comes on when the
fuel level drops below approximately
3.0 L (0.79 US gal, 0.66 Imp.gal). When
this occurs, refuel
as soon as possible.
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by turning the vehicle
on. The warning light should come on
for a few seconds, and then go off.TIPIf the warning light does not come on at
all, remains on after refueling, or if the
warning light flashes repeatedly, havea Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
EAU79310
Engine trouble warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on if a prob-
lem is detected in the engine. If this oc-
curs, have a Yamaha dealer check the
on-board diagnostic system.
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by turning the vehicle
power on. The warning light should
come on for a few seconds, and then
go off.
If the warning light does not come on at
all, or if the warning light remains on,
have a Yamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle.
EAU66503
ABS warning light “ ”
In normal operation, the ABS warning
light comes on when the vehicle is
turned on, and goes off after traveling
at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or higher.TIPIf the warning light does not work as de-
scribed above, or if the warning light
comes on while riding, the ABS and
UBS may not work correctly. Have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle as
soon as possible.
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.
EAU67432
Shift indicator light
This indicator light comes on when it is
time to shift to the next higher gear. The
engine speeds at which it comes on or
goes off can be adjusted. (See
page 4-20.)
As a self-check, the light will come on
briefly when the vehicle is first powered
on.

Immobilizer system indicator light
“”
When the key is turned to “OFF” and 30
seconds have passed, the indicator
light will flash steadily 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 immobili zer 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. If
this 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.
EAU65980
Stability control indicator light “SC”
This indicator light comes on when the
TCS, SCS, or LIF systems have en-
gaged. It will also come on if the TCS is
set to “OFF” or if the TCS system be-
comes disabled while riding.
The electrical circui t of the light can be
checked by turning the key to “ON”.
The light should come on for a few sec-
onds and then go off. If the light does not come on initially when the key is
turned to “ON”, or if the light remains
on, have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle.
EAU78410
Oil pressure and coolant tempera-
ture warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on if the en-
gine oil pressure is low or if the coolant
temperature is high. If this occurs, stop
the engine immediately.
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by turning the key to
“ON”. The warning light should come
on again after going off briefly, and then
remain on until the engine is started. If
the warning light does not come on ini-
tially when the key is turned to “ON”,
have a Yamaha dealer check the elec-
trical circuit.NOTICE
