Engine trouble warning light “

” 

This warning light comes on or flashes
if a problem is detected in the electrical
circuit monitoring the engine. If this oc-
curs, have a Yamaha dealer check the
self-diagnosis system. (See page 3-14
for an explanation of the self-diagnosis
device.)
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by turning the key to
“ON”. The warning light should come
on for a few seconds, and then go off.
If the warning light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ON”,
or if the warning light remains on, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.

EAU49760

ABS warning light “

” 

If this warning light comes on or flashes
while riding, the ABS and the unified
brake system may not work correctly. If
this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer
check the system as soon as possible.
(See page 3-20.)

WARNING

EWA10081

If the ABS warning light comes on or
flashes while riding, the brake sys-
tem reverts to conventional braking.
Therefore, be careful not to cause
the wheels to lock during emergen-
cy braking. If the warning light
comes on or flashes while riding,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
brake system as soon as possible.

The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by turning the key to
“ON”. The warning light should come
on for a few seconds, and then go off.
If the warning light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ON”,
or if the warning light remains on, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.

EAU49401

Traction control system indica-
tor/warning light “TCS” 

This indicator/warning light flashes
when the traction control system en-
gages.

The electrical circuit 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 deal-
er check the electrical circuit.
When the switch is set to “TCS” modes
“1” or “2”, and the traction control sys-
tem is operating, the indicator light
flashes.
If the traction control system disables
while riding, “TCS”  “Off” is displayed,
and the indicator/warning light and en-
gine trouble warning light come on.
(See page 3-21 for an explanation of
the traction control system.)
