EAU55492
YCC-S system
The Yamaha Chip Controlled-Shift
(YCC-S) system allows you to shift
gears without a clutch lever. Further-
more, a shift lever is equipped on the
handlebar, allowing you to shift gears
with either the foot-operated shift ped-
al or the hand-operated shift lever.
When the engine is running and the
shift pedal or the shift lever is moved,
an electronic signal is sent to the MCU
which disengages the clutch, the ECU
adjusts the throttle valve, the gear shift
is made, and then the clutch is re-en-
gaged.
This is not an automatic transmission,
only the clutch system is automatic.
Gear shifts must still be made by the
rider.
TIP
Optimal clutch engagement is cal-
culated by the MCU according to
engine speed, vehicle speed, and
other factors.
See also Stop mode switch (page
3-24) and Shifting (page 5-3) for
more information.
