Speedometer unit
1. Speedomenter unit
2. Odometer
The speedometer unit is equipped
with a speedometer, an odometer and
a tripmeter. The speedometer shows
riding speed. The odometer shows
the total distance traveled. The trip-
meter 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, enter
the “TRIP” mode, and then hold down
the “TRIP” button for at least one
second. The tripmeter can be used
together with the fuel gauge to esti-mate the distance that can be trave-
led with a full tank of fuel. This infor-
mation will enable you to plan future
fuel stops.
Setting the odometer/tripmeter
reading mode
The odometer and tripmeter can be
set to count in either miles or kilome-
ters according to the following proce-
dure.
1. Turn the key to “ON” while pres-
sing the reset button.
2. Release the reset button when
the display comes on.
3. The current mode appears in the
display: “CONT” (continental) for
the kilometer mode and “EnGL”
(English) for the mile mode.
4. Press the reset button to switch
the mode.
5. Press the reset button for two
seconds to confirm the setting.
NOTE:
The odometer/tripmeter reading
mode can be changed any num-
ber of times while the odometer
reading is below 10, but it cannot
be changed anymore after the
reading has reached 10.
Switching between the mile and
the kilometer mode does not
change or convert the current
odometer/tripmeter reading.

amount of fuel in the fuel tank after
indicating the battery voltage for two
seconds. The needle moves towards
“E” (empty) as the fuel level decrea-
ses. When the needle reaches “E”,
refuel as soon as possible.
NOTE:
Do not allow the fuel tank to empty
itself completely.

WARNING
Become thoroughly familiar
with all operating controls and
their functions before riding.
Consult a Yamaha dealer
regarding any control or func-
tion that you do not thoroughly
understand.
Never start the engine or ope-
rate it in a closed area for any
length of time. Exhaust fumes
are poisonous, and inhaling
them can cause loss of cons-
ciousness and death within a
short time. Always make sure
that there is adequate ventila-
tion.
For safety, always start the
engine with the centerstand
down.
