It doesn't say you will cause bike malfunction only that it is unsafe to change it while riding do you guys agree?
The traction control system mode can be changed only when the key is in the “ON” position, the engine is stopped and the vehicle is not moving. TIP Use “TCS” mode “Off” to help free the rear wheel if the motorcycle gets stuck in mud, sand, or other soft surfaces. NOTICE Use only the specified tires. (See page 6-18.) Using different sized tires will prevent the traction control
system from controlling tire rotation accurately. Setting the traction control system WARNING Be sure to stop the vehicle before
making any setting changes to the traction control system. Changing settings while riding can distract the operator and increase the risk of an accident.
Further when using d mode it says to stop the bike but I read a post that said this is a misprint but I haven't seen that come from Yamaha has anybody else heard that? Here is what the manual says about d mode:
Do not change the D-mode while the vehicle is moving. Using this switch changes the drive mode to touring mode “T” or sports
mode “S”. The throttle grip must be completely closed in order to change the drive mode.
