Fuel gaugeFuel gaugeThe fuel gauge indicates the amount
of fuel in the fuel tank. The needle
moves towards “E” (Empty) as the
fuel level decreases. When the nee-
dle reaches “E”, approximately 2 L of
fuel remain in the fuel tank. If this
occurs, refuel as soon as possible.
NOTE:
Do not allow the fuel tank to empty
itself completely.

perature when the main switch is on.
The engine operating temperature
will vary with changes in weather and
engine load. If the needle points to
the red mark, stop your scooter and
let the engine cool. (See page 6-44

Odometer “Odo”
The odometer has two functions.
8It shows the total distance trav-
eled.
8It automatically changes to the
fuel tripmeter mode “Trip F”
when the fuel level reaches
approximately 2.0 L. (See “Fuel
tripmeter” for details.)
NOTE:
If the odometer indicates “––––––”,
have a Yamaha dealer check or
repair the multi-function display as it
may be faulty.

Fuel tripmeter “Trip F”
When the fuel level reaches approxi-
mately 2.0 L, the odometer display
automatically changes to the fuel trip-
meter mode “Trip F” and starts count-
ing the distance traveled from that
point. After refueling and traveling
5 km, the odometer display returns to
“Odo”.To return to the odometer mode
before refueling, push the “SELECT”
button until “Trip F” begins flashing
(“Trip F” will only flash for five sec-
onds). While “Trip F” is flashing, push
the “RESET” button for at least one
second and the display will return to
the odometer mode. From that time,
both “Trip” and “Odo” are displayed
until you refuel and travel 5 km.
NOTE:
The display cannot be changed back
to “Trip F” after pushing the “RESET”
button.

Use only unleaded gasoline. The
use of leaded gasoline will cause
severe damage to internal engine
parts, such as the valves and pis-
ton rings, as well as to the exhaust
system.

Immediately wipe off spilled fuel
with a clean, dry, soft cloth, since

Your Yamaha engine has been
designed to use regular unleaded
gasoline with a research octane num-
ber 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 mainte-
nance costs.
