Multi-function display The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:
a fuel gauge
a coolant temperature gauge
an odometer (which shows the to-
tal distance traveled)
two tripmeters (which show the
distance traveled since they were
last set to zero)
a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled on the
fuel reserve)
a self-diagnosis device
a clock
Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the “SELECT” button switches
the display between the odometer
mode “ODO” and the tripmeter modes
“TRIP” in the following order:
ODO
→ TRIP (top)
→ TRIP (bottom)
→ ODO
When approximately 5 L of fuel re-
mains in the fuel tank, the display will
automatically change to the fuel re-
serve tripmeter mode “TRIP F” and
start counting the distance traveled
from that point. In that case, pushing
the “SELECT” button switches the dis-
play between the various tripmeter and
odometer modes in the following order:
TRIP F
→ TRIP (top)
→ TRIP (bottom)
→ ODO
→ TRIP FTo reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button, and then
push the “RESET” 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 5 km.
Self-diagnosis device
This model is equipped with a self-di-
agnosis device for various electrical cir-
cuits.
If any of those circuits are defective,
the multi-function display will indicate a
two-digit error code (e.g., 11, 12, 13).
If the multi-function display indicates
such an error code, note the code num-
ber, and then have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.

Fuel Make sure that there is sufficient fuel in
the tank. Fill the fuel tank to the bottom
of the filler tube as shown.
EW000130
WARNING
_
Do not overfill the fuel tank, oth-
erwise it may overflow when the
fuel warms up and expands.
Avoid spilling fuel on the hot
engine.
_
EAU00185
CAUTION:_ Immediately wipe off spilled fuel
with a clean, dry, soft cloth, since
fuel may deteriorate painted surfac-
es or plastic parts. _
EAU04284
ECA00104
CAUTION:_ Use only unleaded gasoline. The
use of leaded gasoline will cause se-
vere damage to internal engine
parts, such as the valves and piston
rings, as well as to the exhaust sys-
tem. _
Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use regular unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
91 or higher. If knocking (or pinging)
occurs, use a gasoline of a different
brand or premium unleaded fuel. Use
of unleaded fuel will extend spark plug
life and reduce maintenance costs.

Fuel tank breather hose Before operating the motorcycle:
Check the fuel tank breather hose
connection.
Check the fuel tank breather hose
for cracks or damage, and replace
it if damaged.
Make sure that the end of the fuel
tank breather hose is not blocked,
and clean it if necessary.
EAU01084
Catalytic converter This motorcycle is equipped with a cat-
alytic converter in the exhaust cham-
ber.
EW000128
WARNING
_ The exhaust system is hot after op-
eration. Make sure that the exhaust
system has cooled down before do-
ing any maintenance work. _
EC000114
CAUTION:_ The following precautions must be
observed to prevent a fire hazard or
other damages.
Use only unleaded gasoline.
The use of leaded gasoline will
cause unrepairable damage to
the catalytic converter.
Never park the motorcycle near
possible fire hazards such as
grass or other materials that
easily burn.
Do not allow the engine to idle
too long.

4-PRE-OPERATION CHECKSThe condition of a vehicle is the owner’s responsibility. Vital components can start to deteriorate quickly and unexpectedly,
even if the vehicle remains unused (for example, as a result of exposure to the elements). Any damage, fluid leakage or loss
of tire air pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important, in addition to a thorough visual inspec-
tion, to check the following points before each ride.
