Speedometer unit The speedometer unit is equipped with
a speedometer, an odometer and two
tripmeters. The speedometer shows
riding speed. The odometer shows the
total distance traveled. The tripmeters
show the distance traveled since they
were last set to zero.Pushing the mode button (left) switch-
es the display between the odometer
mode “ODO” and the tripmeter modes
“TRIP A” and “TRIP B” in the following
order:
CB-27E
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the mode button (left), and then
hold down the set button (right) for at
least one second. The tripmeters can
be used to estimate the distance that
can be traveled with a full tank of fuel.
This information will enable you to plan
future fuel stops.NOTE:@ This motorcycle is not equipped with a
tachometer; however, it has a built-in
engine speed limiter, which prevents
the engine speed from exceeding ap-
proximately 4,400 r/min. @

WARNING
@ l
Have a Yamaha dealer replace
excessively worn tires. Besides
being illegal, operating the
motorcycle with excessively
worn tires decreases riding sta-
bility and can lead to loss of
control.
l
The replacement of all wheel-
and brake-related parts, includ-
ing the tires, should be left to a
Yamaha dealer, who has the
necessary professional knowl-
edge and experience.
l
It is not recommended to patch
a punctured tube. If unavoid-
able, however, patch the tube
very carefully and replace it as
soon as possible with a high-
quality product.

EAU00685
Spoke wheels To maximize the performance, durabil-
ity, and safe operation of your motor-
cycle, note the following points
regarding the specified wheels.l
The wheel rims should be checked
for cracks, bends or warpage, and
the spokes for looseness or dam-
age before each ride. If any dam-
age is found, have a Yamaha
dealer replace the wheel. Do not
attempt even the smallest repair to
the wheel. A deformed or cracked
wheel must be replaced.
l
The wheel should be balanced
whenever either the tire or wheel
has been changed or replaced. An
unbalanced wheel can result in
poor performance, adverse han-
dling characteristics, and a short-
ened tire life.
l
Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire sur-
face must first be “broken in” for it
to develop its optimal characteris-
tics.

CAUTION:Be sure to use motor oils that do not contain anti-friction
modifiers. Passenger car motor oils (often labeled
“ENERGY CONSERVING II”) contain anti-friction additives
which will cause clutch and/or starter clutch slippage, result-
ing in reduced component life and poor engine performance.
