cally adjusts accordin
g to the vehicle’s
lean angle. To maximize acceleration,
when the vehicle is upright a less
amount of traction control is applied.
When cornering, a greater amount of
traction control is applied.
TIP
The traction control system may
engage when the vehicle travels
over a bump.

You may notice slight changes in
engine and exhaust sounds when
the traction control or other YRC
systems engage.

When TCS is turned off, SCS,
LCS, and LIF are also turned offautomatically.
WARNING
EWA15432
The traction control system is not a
substitute for riding appropriately
for the conditions. Traction control
cannot prevent loss of traction due
to excessive speed when entering
turns, when accelerating hard at a
sharp lean angle, or while braking,
and cannot prevent front wheel slip-
ping. As with any motorcycle, ap-
proach surfaces that may be
slippery with caution and avoid es-pecially slippery surfaces.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the
traction control system automatically
turns on. The traction control system
can be turned on or off manually only
when the key is in the “ON” position and
the motorcycle is stopped.TIPTurn the traction control system off to
help free the rear wheel if the motorcy-
cle gets stuck in mud, sand, or othersoft surfaces.
NOTICE
ECA16801
Use only the specified tires. (See
page 7-20.) Using different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controlling tire rotationaccurately.
SCS
The slide control system regulates en-
gine power output when a sideward
slide is detected in the rear wheel. It ad-
justs power output based on data from
the IMU. This system supports the TCS
to contribute to a smoother ride.
LCS
The launch control system helps the
rider achieve smooth and swift
launches from the starting grid. It
keeps engine speed from rising above
10,000 r/min even when the throttle
grip is fully turned. The LCS regulates
engine power output in conjunction
with the TCS and LIF systems for op-
timal traction and reduced wheel lift.

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 (with a
red bow)

two standard keys (with a black
bow) that can be re-registered with
new codes

a transponder (which is installed in
the code re-registering key)

an immobilizer unit

an ECU

an immobilizer system indicator light (See page 4-7.)
The key with the red bow is used to reg-
ister codes in each standard key. Since
re-registering is a difficult process, take
the vehicle along with all three keys to
a Yamaha dealer to have them re-reg-
istered. 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.
NOTICE
ECA11822

DO NOT LOSE THE CODE
RE-REGISTERING KEY! CON-
TACT YOUR DEALER IMMEDI-
ATELY IF IT IS LOST! If the code
re-registering key is lost, regis-
tering new codes in the stan-
dard keys is impossible. The
standard keys can still be used
to start the vehicle, however if
code re-registering is required
(i.e., if a new standard key is
made or all keys are lost) the en-
tire immobilizer system must be
replaced. Therefore, it is highly
recommended to use either
standard key and keep the code
re-registering key in a safe place.

Do not submerse any key in wa-
ter.

Do not expose any key to exces-
sively high temperatures.

Do not place any key close to
magnets (this includes, but not
limited to, products such as
speakers, etc.).

Do not place items that transmit
electrical signals close to any
key.

Do not place heavy items on any
key.

Do not grind any key or alter its
shape.

Do not disassemble the plastic
part of any key.

Do not put two keys of any im-
mobilizer system on the same
key ring.

Keep the standard keys as well
as keys of other immobilizer
systems away from this vehi-
cle’s code re-registering key.

Keep other immobilizer system
keys away from the main switch
as they may cause signal inter-

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.

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

If the oil pressure and coolant warn-
ing light does not go off after start-
ing the engine or if it comes on while
the engine is running, stop the vehi-

If the engine is overheating, the
coolant temperature warning
icon will come on. Let the en-
gine cool. Check the coolant
level (see page 7-40).

If the engine oil pressure is low,
the oil pressure warning icon
will come on. Check the oil level
(see page 7-13).

If the warning light remains on
after letting the engine cool and
confirming the proper oil level,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle. Do not continue to op-erate the vehicle!

Steering damper and suspension
warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on if a prob-
lem is detected in the electronic sus-
pension or steering damper.

Under certain conditions, such as
when the vehicle is in motion, the
throttle grip is turned, excessive
wheel slip is detected, etc., certain
YRC items cannot be adjusted.

When a YRC item is highlighted
but cannot be adjusted, the YRCitem box will return to black. To turn off the traction control system
select TCS with the center button, then
push and hold the up button until TCS
OFF is displayed. To turn TCS back on,
select TCS OFF and then press the
down button (TCS will return to its pre-
vious setting).
TIPTurning off the traction control system
will turn off the SCS, LCS, and LIF sys-tems for all YRC modes.
YRC items LCS/QS/LIF
The on/off status of YRC items LCS,
QSS, and LIF is shown here. When any
of these systems are registered (not set
to OFF) for the currently selected YRC
mode, its respective icon will appear. When LCS is registered for the current-
ly selected YRC mode, its icon will be
grey. To activate the launch control
system, press and hold the center but-
ton until the LCS icon stops flashing
and turns white.
