True, you have to accelerate. As I said somebody told me as well this 5k rule, so I also only use it if the RPM is at least green and if I'm just cruising I don't really see the need for the QS anyways.

A bit late on the update but since there are still some talk here here ist how it went: I was able to clear the error massage without a Yamaha service adapter. So there might be some discrepancies between US and EU models? Idk. (I'm from the EU btw.) As I said, I am and was unsure if the QS light at the time of shifting was on or off, but I think it was off. Nevertheless the QS worked, although as I later found out you can shift without clutching with or without a QS system it just cuts the power automatically so you don't have to. I think you misread something as a quick googling for the owners manual (I don't have it printed out) says the QS works over 20kmph with at least 2.3k rpm. It doesn't say anything about 5k and/or gears 4-6. But I also heard about the 5k RPM thing btw.

So the reader and the cable have finally arrived. According to the DTC log it is a P2158 which is according to the service manual "front wheel Sensor: no normal signals received from the front wheel sensors" I have no idea how and why this was triggered... I was not sure if I should try to delete it. I already have an appointment at the dealership.

Good to hear that. Yeah, I'll try it anyways and might save a few bucks and learn something new ^^ As I said I did this multiple times without any issues, idk what went wrong this time. Anyways, thanks for the reply

Thanks for the reply. Yeah resetting the light is currently the thing I'm worrying the least about. Do you have any opinion about the QS part?

Hi, TL;DR: QS might have been disabled because of CEL, I didn't notice it if it was the case and still used the QS to shift 2-5. Bike worked like always am I in trouble? Today I lubed the chains like any other time. Put the bike on the main stand put it in first gear, pull the clutch, start the bike, slowly release the clutch and lube the chain. I have done this multiple times with no issues. After I was done I killed the engine and checked the chain. I wasn't entirely happy with the results, so I repeated the precious steps. From the peripheral vision I saw the traction control light blink but it was done as soon as I looked at it, so I thought, because of the main stand the ECU might thought, that the bike is slipping. Anyways I lubed the chains killed the engine and I noticed the CEL was on. I tried to access the menu, but for my surprise it didn't work. Later I found on this forum, that it is normal behavior with newer bikes. In the same topic the guy said, that he removed the battery and after putting it back the CEL was on. I have kinda the same situation. Although I drove like 200km since I put back the battery after the winter. Nevertheless someone suggested, that it might be some low voltage stuff and the CEL should clear itself after riding. So that is what I did. I rode like 8-10km throughout the city I'm located, but the CEL was not clearing at one point I also used the QS for shifting through 2-5. After I came home I tried to research some more and I stumbled upon a video showing the engine light and the missing QS indicator. I have to say that I have never noticed the QS indicator until now btw. I went out to the bike and checked (turning the key but not starting the bike) and QS is missing on the display. Now the question how much did I f**k up my bike using the QS with potentially having the QS off? I don't know however if during the ride QS was on or off but I didn't notice anything weird like loud noise or locking the rear wheel or anything like that. It worked like any other time I used it. Now I also ordered an OBD reader and adapter cable to check the CEL. As this will be my first time doing this, can every OBD Scanner show the actual fault codes or am I going to be confronted with random bits which I somehow should convert to readable stuff? I mean I have seen can traffic but does the Yamaha ECU prints the fault codes as strings or is it just their binary format which only their diagnostic tool can interpret? Thanks for your answers in advance!
