start the engine.
NOTE:
Make sure there are no other immobi-
lizer keys close to the main switch, and
do not keep more than one immobilizer
key on the same key ring! Immobilizer
system keys may cause signal interfer-
ence, which may prevent the engine
from starting.
2. If the engine starts, turn it off, and
try starting the engine with the
standard keys.
3. If one or both of the standard keys
do not start the engine, take the
vehicle, the code re-registering
key and both standard keys to a
Yamaha dealer and have the stan-
dard keys re-registered.
EAU11820
Speedometer unit
The speedometer unit is equipped with
the following:
a digital speedometer (which
shows riding speed)
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 thefuel reserve)
a fuel gauge
a self-diagnosis device
NOTE:
Be sure to turn the key to “ON” before
using the “SELECT” and “RESET” but-
tons.
Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the “SELECT” button switches
the display between the odometer
mode “ODO” and the tripmeter modes
“TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2” in the following
order:
ODO
→
TRIP 1
→
TRIP 2
→
ODO
If the fuel level warning symbol flashes
(see page 3-3), the odometer 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 1
→
TRIP 2
→
ODO
→

ing the “SELECT” button, and then
push the “RESET” button. If you do not
reset the fuel reserve tripmeter manual-
ly, it will reset itself automatically and
the display will return to “TRIP 1” after
refueling and traveling 5 km (3 mi).
NOTE:
After resetting the fuel reserve tripme-
ter, the display will return to “TRIP 1”,
unless a different mode had been pre-
viously selected; in that case, the dis-
play automatically returns to the prior
mode.
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel gauge disappear to-
wards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When only one segment is
left near “E”, refuel as soon as possible.
Self-diagnosis device
This model is equipped with a self-diag-
nosis device for various electrical cir-
cuits.
If any of those circuits are defective, the
odometer/tripmeter will indicate atwo-digit error code (e.g., 11, 12, 13).
If the odometer/tripmeter indicates
such an error code, note the code num-
ber, and then have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.
CAUTION:
ECA11520
If the odometer/tripmeter indicates
an error code, the vehicle should be
checked as soon as possible in or-
der to avoid engine damage.
EAU11910
Tachometer unit
The electric tachometer allows the rider
to monitor the engine speed and keep it
within the ideal power range.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the
tachometer needle will move to 9500
r/min and back to zero r/min in order
to test the electrical circuit.
CAUTION:
ECA10030
Do not operate the engine in the ta-
chometer red zone.
Red zone: 8000 r/min and above

To set the clock:
1. Push both the “SELECT” and “RE-
SET” buttons for at least two sec-
onds.
2. When the hour digits start flashing,
push the “RESET” button to set the
hours.
3. Push the “SELECT” button to
change the minutes.
4. When the minute digits start flash-
ing, push the “RESET” button to

5. Push the “SELECT” button to start
the clock.
NOTE:
After setting the clock, be sure to
push the “SELECT” button before
turning the key to “OFF”, otherwise
the clock will not be set.
When the key is turned to “OFF”,
the clock display will remain on for
48 hours and then go off to prevent
the battery from discharging.
EAU12180
Coolant temperature gauge
With the key in the “ON” position, the
coolant temperature gauge indicates
the temperature of the coolant. When
the key is turned to “ON”, the coolant
temperature gauge needle will move to
“H” and back to “C” in order to test the
electrical circuit. The coolant tempera-
ture varies with changes in the weather
and engine load. If the needle reaches
or enters the red zone, stop the vehicle
and let the engine cool. (See
page 6-39.)
CAUTION:
ECA10020
Do not operate the engine if it is
overheated.

Fuel
Make sure that there is sufficient fuel in
the tank. Fill the fuel tank to the bottom
of the filler tube as shown.
WARNING
EWA10880
Do not overfill the fuel tank, oth-
erwise it may overflow when the
fuel warms up and expands.
Avoid spilling fuel on the hot en-
gine.
CAUTION:
ECA10070
Immediately wipe off spilled fuel
with a clean, dry, soft cloth, sincefuel may deteriorate painted surfac-
es or plastic parts.
EAU13320
CAUTION:
ECA11400
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause severe
damage to internal engine parts,
such as the valves and piston rings,
as well as to the exhaust system.
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) oc-
curs, use a gasoline of a different brand
or premium unleaded fuel. Use of un-leaded 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.

Catalytic converter
This vehicle is equipped with a catalytic
converter in the muffler.
WARNING
EWA10860
The exhaust system is hot after op-
eration. Make sure that the exhaust
system has cooled down before do-
ing any maintenance work.
CAUTION:
ECA10700
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 vehicle near pos-
sible fire hazards such as grass
or other materials that easily
burn.
Do not allow the engine to idle
too long.
