the traction control sys-
tem
The traction control system will auto-
matically disable when:
the front wheel or rear wheel
comes off the ground while riding.
excessive rear wheel spin is de-
tected while riding.
either wheel is rotated with the
main switch turned on (such as
when performing maintenance).
If the traction control system is dis-
abled, both the “
” indicator light and
the “
” warning light will come on.
Should this occur, try resetting the sys-
tem as follows.
1. Stop the vehicle and turn the main
switch off.
2. Wait a few seconds and then turn
the main switch back on.
3. The “
” indicator light should
turn off and the system be en-
abled.
TIP
If the “
” indicator light remains on af-
ter resetting, the vehicle may still be
ridden; however, have a Yamaha deal-
er check the vehicle as soon as possi-
ble.
4. Have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle and turn off the “
”
warning light.
