the four YRC modes MODE-A,
MODE-B, MODE-C, MODE-D by ad-
justing the setting levels (or on/off sta-
tus as applicable) of YRC items PWR,
TCS, SCS, LCS, QSS, and LIF.
TIP
TCS has 9 setting levels.

Whenever there are more selec-
tions (setting levels or modes)
available than can be shown on
the screen at one time, a scroll bar
will appear to notify you that addi-
tional selections are available byscrolling.
PWR
Select PWR-1 for the most aggressive
throttle response, PWR-2 and PWR-3
for smoother throttle grip/engine re-
sponse, and use PWR-4 for rainy days
or whenever less engine power is desir-
able. TCS
This model uses a variable traction
control system. For each setting level,
the further the vehicle is leaned over,
the greater the amount of traction con-
trol (system intervention) is applied.
There are 9 setting levels available.
Setting level 1 applies the least amount
of overall system intervention, while
setting level 9 applies the greatest
amount of overall traction control.
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,

12 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 is available. 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
The quick shift system is divided into
QS (upshift) and QS (downshift)
sections. QS and QS are not
linked and can be independently turned
on or off.
QS can be set to 1, 2, or OFF. Set-
ting level 1 is designed for maximum
acceleration, while setting level 2 is de-
signed to give smooth shifts at halfway
or less throttle openings. OFF turns the
respective upshift or downshift function
off, and the clutch lever must then be
used when shifting in that direction.TIP
Set QS to 1 for track or sporty
riding.

Set QS to 2 for touring or
around town-riding.
LIF
LIF can be set to 1, 2, 3, or OFF. Setting
level 3 most strongly reduces wheel lift,
and setting level 1 provides the least
amount of system intervention. OFF
turns LIF off and LCS will be disabled
for the selected YRC mode.
To customize a YRC mode or adjust a
YRC item1. From the MENU screen, select “YRC Setting”.

FuelMake sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, followthese instructions. 1. Before refueling, turn off the en- gine and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters and
clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler
hole. Stop filling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the filler
tube. Because fuel expands when
it heats up, heat from the engine or
the sun can cause fuel to spill out
of the fuel tank. 3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately. NOTICE: Immediately wipe
off spilled fuel with a clean, dry,
soft cloth, since fuel may deteri-
orate painted surfaces or plastic
parts.
[ECA10072]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel tank cap.
WARNING
EWA15152
Gasoline is poisonous and can
cause injury or death. Handle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gaso-
line by mouth. If you should swallow
some gasoline or inhale a lot of gas-
oline vapor, or get some gasoline in your eyes, see your doctor immedi-
ately. If gasoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap and water. If gaso-
line spills on your clothing, change
your clothes.
EAU75320
NOTICE
ECA11401
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause severe
damage to internal engine parts,
such as the valves and piston rings,as well as to the exhaust system.

TIP
This mark identifies the recom-
mended fuel for this vehicle as
specified by European regulation
(EN228).

Check that gasoline nozzle has thesame identifier when fueling.
Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use premium unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
95 or higher. If knocking (or pinging) oc-
curs, use a gasoline of a different
brand. Use of unleaded fuel will extend
spark plug life and reduce maintenance
costs.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gaso- hol containing ethanol and that contain-
ing methanol. Gasohol containing
ethanol can be used if the ethanol con-
tent does not exceed 10% (E10). Gas-
ohol containing methanol is not
recommended by Yamaha because it
can cause damage to the fuel system
or vehicle performance problems.

Fuel tank overflow hoseBefore operating the vehicle:
Check the fuel tank overflow hose
connection.

Check the fuel tank overflow hose
for cracks or damage, and replace
it if necessary.

Make sure that the end of the fuel
tank overflow hose is not blocked,
and clean it if necessary.

Make sure that the end of the fuel
tank overflow hose is positioned as
shown.

Catalytic converterThis model is equipped with a catalytic
converter in the exhaust system.
WARNING
EWA10863
The exhaust system is hot after op-
eration. To prevent a fire hazard or
burns:
Do not park the vehicle near
possible fire hazards such as
grass or other materials that
easily burn.

Park the vehicle in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch the hot
exhaust system.

Make sure that the exhaust sys-
tem has cooled down before do-
ing any maintenance work.

Do not allow the engine to idle
more than a few minutes. Long
idling can cause a build-up ofheat.
NOTICE
ECA10702
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause unre- pairable damage to the catalytic
converter.

Document storageA document storage space is located
under panel C. (See page 7-9.)
When storing the owner’s manual or
vehicle registration and insurance doc-
uments in the document storage space,
be sure to wrap them in a plastic bag so
that they will not get wet. When wash-
ing the vehicle, avoid letting water enter
the document storage space.NOTICE
ECA22540
Do not place heat-sensitive items in
the document storage space. This
space can get hot when the engine
is running or when the vehicle is in
direct sunlight.

Although a damping force adjuster
may turn or click beyond the stated
minimum settings, such adjust-
ments are ineffective and maydamage the suspension.WARNING
EWA10222
This shock absorber assembly con-
tains highly pressurized nitrogen
gas. Read and understand the fol-
lowing information before handling
the shock absorber assembly.
Do not tamper with or attempt to
open the cylinder assembly.

Do not subject the shock ab-
sorber assembly to an open
flame or other high heat source.
This may cause the unit to ex-
plode due to excessive gas
pressure.

Do not deform or damage the
cylinder in any way. Cylinder
damage will result in poor
damping performance.

Do not dispose of a damaged or
worn-out shock absorber as-
sembly yourself. Take the shock absorber assembly to a Yamaha
dealer for any service.

EXUP systemThis model is equipped with Yamaha’s
EXUP (EXhaust Ultimate Power valve)
system. This system boosts engine
power by means of a valve that controls
exhaust flow within the exhaust cham-
ber.NOTICE
ECA15611
The EXUP system has been set and
extensively tested at the Yamaha
factory. Changing these settings
without sufficient technical knowl-
edge may result in poor perfor-mance of or damage to the engine.

starts unless the clutch lever is pulled
and the sidestand is up. Also, it will stop
the running engine should the sides-
tand be lowered while the transmission
is in gear.
Periodically check this system via the
following procedure.TIP
This check is most reliable if per-
formed with a warmed-up engine.
