Engine trouble warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on or flashes
when an electrical circuit monitoring
the engine is defective. When this oc-
curs, have the Yamaha dealer check
the self-diagnosis system.
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked according to the fol-
lowing procedure.

This indicator light comes on when the
high beam of the headlight is switched
on.
EAU03193
Speedometer unit The speedometer unit is equipped with
a digital odometer and a tripmeter. The
speedometer shows riding speed. The
odometer shows the total distance trav-
eled. The tripmeter shows the distance
traveled since it was last set to zero.
Pushing the “TRIP” button switches the
display between the odometer mode
“ODO” and the tripmeter mode “TRIP”.To reset the tripmeter, select it by
pushing the “TRIP” button, and then
push the “TRIP” button again and hold
it down for at least one second. The
tripmeter 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
speed limiter, which prevents the en-
gine speed from exceeding approxi-
mately 6,800 r/min and the vehicle
speed from exceeding approximately
175 km/h. @

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.
