two trip odometers
l
a fuel reserve trip meter
l
a clockOdometer and trip meter modes
Use the trip meters to estimate how far
you can ride on a tank of fuel.
Use the fuel reserve trip meter to see
the distance traveled from when the
fuel level dropped to the reserve level.
Selecting a mode
Push the “SELECT” button to change
between the odometer mode “ODO”
and the trip odometer modes “TRIP 1”
and “TRIP 2” in the following order:
“ODO”
® “TRIP 1”

If the fuel level indicator light comes on
(see page 3-4), the odometer display
will automatically change to the fuel re-
serve trip meter mode “TRIP F” and
start counting the distance traveled
from that point. Push the “SELECT”
button to change between the fuel re-
serve trip meter, trip odometers and
odometer modes in the following order:

in an electric circuit, first the segments
and then either “E” or “F” flash. In this
case, be sure to consult a Yamaha
dealer as soon as possible.
