INFO
Off-throttle steering (OTS) system
The off-throttle steering (OTS) system of the YEMS activates when the operator releases the throt-
tle lever and attempts to steer the watercraft. This assists the operator in turning while the watercraft
is decelerating.
The system will activate once the operator reaches planing speed but will not activate during dock-
ing or low-speed maneuvering.
The OTS system is activated when the ECM senses the following conditions:
• The engine speed is maintained above 4,000 r/min for a few seconds
• The throttle lever is released completely
• The handlebar is turned sharply to the right or left and is applied load.
• Some steering will be available with this system, but the watercraft will turn more sharply if throttle
is applied. For the best steering and turning performance, apply throttle while turning the handle-
bar.
L-MODE (low-rpm mode) and Yamaha Security System

The user can select the normal mode or the L-MODE.
The engine speed in the L-MODE is limited to approximately 5,400 r/min or less. The modes can be
