Clutch leverThe clutch lever is located on the left
side of the handlebar. To disengage
the clutch, pull the lever toward the
handlebar grip. To engage the clutch,
release the lever. The lever should be
pulled rapidly and released slowly for
smooth clutch operation.
The clutch lever is equipped with a
clutch switch, which is part of the igni-
tion circuit cut-off system. (See
page 4-49.)
EAU83690
Shift pedalThe shift pedal is located on the left
side of the motorcycle. To shift the
transmission to a higher gear, move the
shift pedal up. To shift to the transmis-
sion to a lower gear, move the the shift
pedal down. (See page 6-2.)
The shift rod is equipped with a shift
sensor, which is part of the quick shift
system. The shift sensor reads up and
down movement, as well as the
strength of the input force when the
shift pedal is moved.TIPTo prevent unintended shifts, QSS is programmed to ignore unclear input
signals. Therefore, be sure to shift us-
ing quick and sufficiently forceful in-
puts.

Brake leverThe brake lever is located on the right
side of the handlebar. To apply the front
brake, pull the lever toward the throttle
grip.
This model is equipped with a variable
unified brake system (UBS).
When pulling the brake lever, the front
brake and a portion of the rear brake
are applied. For full braking perfor-
mance, apply both the brake lever and
brake pedal simultaneously.
TIPSee Brake system for more informa-
tion on how the UBS and ABS systemswork.
The brake lever is equipped with a
brake lever position adjusting dial. To
adjust the distance between the brake
lever and the throttle grip, turn the ad-
justing dial while holding the lever
pushed away from the throttle grip.
Make sure that the appropriate setting
on the adjusting dial is aligned with the
“ ” mark on the brake lever.

Brake systemThis model is equipped with an inte-
grated anti-lock brake system (ABS)
and a variable unified brake system
(UBS).
Regarding ABS, operate the brakes as
you would conventional brakes. If the
ABS is activated, a pulsating sensation
may be felt at the brake lever or brake
pedal. In this situation, continue to ap-
ply the brakes and let the ABS work; do
not “pump” the brakes as this will re-
duce braking effectiveness.
WARNING
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient distance
from the vehicle ahead to match the
riding speed even with ABS.
The ABS performs best with
long braking distances.

On certain surfaces, such as
rough or gravel roads, the brak-
ing distance may be longer withthe ABS than without.
The ABS and UBS hydraulic control
unit is monitored by the ABS ECU,
which will revert the system to conven- tional braking if a malfunction occurs.
TIP
The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test when the vehicle is started
and reaches a speed of 10 km/h (6
mi/h). During this test, a “clicking”
noise may be audible from the hy-
draulic control unit, and a vibration
may be felt at the bake lever or
pedal, but this is normal.

This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience the
pulsation at the brake lever or
brake pedal when the ABS is oper-
ating. However, special tools are
required, so please consult yourYamaha dealer.
NOTICE
ECA20100
Be careful not to damage the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of theABS will result.
Regarding variable UBS, operating the
brake lever will generate corresponding
brake pressure at the front brake and to
a variable degree, the rear brake. The

12 amount of rear wheel braking force to
be applied by the UBS is based on ve-
hicle attitude and lean angle. However,
operating only the brake pedal will not
generate any brake pressure at the
front brake.
For full braking performance, apply
both the brake lever and brake pedal si-
multaneously.
When both the brake lever and the
brake pedal are applied simultaneous-
ly, the UBS will control the distribution
of braking force between the two
wheels.
TIP
The UBS does not function until
the vehicle starts moving.

After coming to a stop while apply-
ing the brake lever, the UBS is still
enabled. As further squeezing of
the brake lever will not increase
the braking power of the rear
brake, apply the rear brake should
further braking power be neces-
sary (such as when parking on a
slope).
The UBS disables after the brake
lever is released. When the vehicle starts moving,
the UBS is re-enabled.

Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly closed after filling fuel.Leaking fuel is a fire hazard.
EAU13222
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

oline vapor, or get some gasoline in1. Fuel tank filler tube

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.
Recommended fuel:
Premium unleaded gasoline (Gaso-
hol [E10] acceptable)
Fuel tank capacity: 17 L (4.5 US gal, 3.7 Imp.gal)
Fuel reserve amount (when the fuel
level warning light comes on):
3.0 L (0.79 US gal, 0.66 Imp.gal)

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 hos e is positioned as
shown.
TIPSee page 7-12 for canister information.

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.
