INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS
NOTE:
Depending on the market where the
motorcycle is sold, the speedometer can
be set to either mph or km/h. When the
speedometer is set to mph, the odometer
counts in miles (1 mile = 1.61 km).Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the “SET” button switches the dis-
play between the odometer mode “ODO”
and the tripmeter modes “TRIP 1” and
“TRIP 2” in the following order: ODO 6
TRIP 1 6TRIP 2 6ODO
When the fuel warning light comes on, the
display will automatically change to the fu-
el reserve tripmeter mode “TRIP F” and
start counting the distance traveled from
that point. In that case, pushing the “SET”
button switches the display between the
various tripmeter and odometer modes in
the following order: TRIP F 6TRIP 1 6
TRIP 2 6ODO 6TRIP F
To reset a tripmeter, select it by pushing
the “SET” button, and then push the “RE-
SET” button for at least one second. If you
do not reset the fuel reserve tripmeter
manually, it will reset itself automatically
and the display will return to the prior
mode after refueling and traveling several
kilometers.Oil change indicator
At the initial 1,000 km (620 mi) and every
10,000 km (6,200 mi) thereafter, the mes-
sage “OIL CHANGE” appears in the dis-
play for a few seconds when the key is
turned to “ON”, to indicate that the engine
oil should be changed.
After changing the engine oil, reset the oil
change indicator.
If the engine oil is changed before the oil
change indicator appears in the display
(i.e. before the periodic oil change interval
has been reached), the indicator must be
reset after the oil change for the next peri-
odic oil change to be indicated at the cor-
rect time.
NOTE:
When the message “OIL CHANGE”
appears in the display, be sure to change
the engine oil as soon as possible. In addi-
tion to these kilometer-based oil changes,
be sure to have a Yamaha dealer perform
the annual checks specified in the period-
ic maintenance and lubrication chart on
page 6-2.
