  • Page 13: Fi System

    FEATURES EAS39P1102 FI SYSTEM The fuel pump delivers fuel to the fuel injector via the fuel filter. The pressure regulator maintains the fuel pressure that is applied to the fuel injector at only 324 kPa (3.24 kgf/cm², 46.1 psi). Accordingly, when the energizing signal from the ECU energizes the fuel injector, the fuel passage opens, caus- ing the fuel to be injected into the intake manifold only during the time the passage remain open.

  • Page 17: Outline Of The Abs

    EAS4B56001 OUTLINE OF THE ABS 1. The Yamaha ABS (anti-lock brake system) features an electronic control system, which acts on the front and rear brakes independently. 2. The ABS features a compact and lightweight design to help maintain the basic maneuverability of the vehicle.
  • Page 18 FEATURES The operation of the Yamaha ABS brakes is the same as conventional brakes on other vehicles, with a front brake lever for operating the front brake and a rear brake pedal for operating the rear brake. When wheel lock is detected during emergency braking, hydraulic control is performed by the hydraulic system on the front and rear brakes independently.
  • Page 19 FEATURES Brake force and vehicle stability When the brake pressure is increased, wheel speed is reduced. Slipping occurs between the tire and the road surface and brake force is generated. The limit of this brake force is determined by the friction force between the tire and the road surface and is closely related to wheel slippage.
  • Page 20 FEATURES Wheel slip and hydraulic control The ABS ECU calculates the wheel speed of each wheel according to the rotation signal received from the front and rear wheel sensors. In addition, the ABS ECU calculates the vehicle chassis speed and the rate of speed reduction based on the wheel speed values. The difference between the chassis speed and the wheel speed calculated in the slip ratio formula is equal to the wheel slip.
  • Page 21 FEATURES ABS operation and vehicle control If the ABS starts operating, there is a tendency of the wheel to lock, and the vehicle is approaching the limit of control. To make the rider aware of this condition, the ABS has been designed to gener- ate a reaction-force pulsating action in the front brake lever and rear brake pedal independently.
  • Page 22 FEATURES Electronic ABS features The Yamaha ABS (anti-lock brake system) has been developed with the most advanced electronic technology. The ABS control is processed with good response under various vehicle travel conditions. The ABS also includes a highly developed self-diagnosis function. The ABS detects any problem condition and allows normal braking even if the ABS is not operating properly.
  • Page 23: Abs Component Functions

    FEATURES EAS4B56009 ABS COMPONENT FUNCTIONS Wheel sensors and wheel sensor rotors Wheel sensors “1” detect the wheel rotation speed and transmit the wheel rotation signal to the ABS ECU. Each wheel sensor contains a Hall IC. The wheel sensors are installed in the sensor housing for each wheel.
  • Page 24 FEATURES ABS warning light The ABS warning light “1” comes on to warn the rider if a malfunction in the ABS occurs. When the main switch is turned to “ON”, the ABS warning light comes on for 2 seconds, then goes off, so that the rider can check if the ABS warning light is disconnected and check if the ABS is oper- ating properly.
  • Page 25 FEATURES 2. When the ABS is activated, the inlet solenoid valve “1” closes and the outlet solenoid valve “2” opens using the power supplied from the ABS ECU signals. This reduces the hydraulic pres- sure. 3. When the ABS ECU sends a signal to stop reducing the hydraulic pressure, the outlet solenoid valve “2”...
  • Page 26 FEATURES ABS ECU The ABS ECU is integrated with the hydraulic unit to achieve a compact and lightweight design. As shown in the block following diagram, the ABS ECU receives wheel sensor signals from the front and rear wheels and also receives signals from other monitor circuits. 17.Front brake outlet solenoid 1.
  • Page 27 FEATURES ABS control operation The ABS control operation performed in the ABS ECU is divided into the following two parts. • Hydraulic control • Self-diagnosis When a malfunction is detected in the ABS, a fault code is stored in the memory of the ABS ECU for easy problem identification and troubleshooting.
  • Page 28: Abs Operation

    FEATURES EAS4B56010 ABS OPERATION The ABS hydraulic circuit consists of two systems: the front wheel, and rear wheel. The following describes the system for the front wheel only. Normal braking (ABS not activated) When the ABS is not activated, the inlet solenoid valve is open and the outlet solenoid valve is closed because a control signal has not been transmitted from the ABS ECU.
  • Page 29 FEATURES Emergency braking (ABS activated) 1. Depressurizing phase When the front wheel is about to lock, the outlet solenoid valve is opened by the “depressuriza- tion” signal transmitted from the ABS ECU. When this occurs, the inlet solenoid valve com- presses the spring and closes the brake line from the brake master cylinder.
  • Page 30 FEATURES 2. Pressurizing phase The outlet solenoid valve is closed by the “pressurization” signal transmitted from the ABS ECU. At this time, the ABS ECU controls the opening of the inlet solenoid valve. As the inlet solenoid valve opens, the brake line from the brake master cylinder opens, allowing the brake fluid to be sent to the brake caliper.
  • Page 31: Abs Self-Diagnosis Function

    FEATURES EAS4B56011 ABS SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION ABS warning light The ABS warning light “1” comes on when a malfunction is detected by the ABS self-diagnosis. It is located in the meter assembly. Instances when the ABS warning light comes on 1. The ABS warning light comes on when the main switch is turned to “ON”. The ABS warning light comes on for 2 seconds while the ABS is performing a self-diagnosis, then goes off if there are no problems.
  • Page 32 FEATURES 3. The ABS warning light comes on while riding. If the ABS warning light comes on while riding, a malfunction has been detected in the ABS. The ABS hydraulic control will not be performed. The ABS will have recourse to manual braking if this occurs.
