Multi-function display The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:
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 meter
a clock
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
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button, and then
push the “RESET” button for at least
one second. The tripmeters can be
used to estimate the distance that can
be traveled with a full tank of fuel. This
information will enable you to plan fu-
ture fuel stops.
Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel meter disappear to-
wards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When only one segment is
left near “E”, refuel as soon as possible.

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 brandor premium unleaded fuel. Use of un-
leaded fuel will extend spark plug life
and reduce maintenance costs.

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 idletoo long.

Fuel cock The fuel cock supplies fuel from the
tank to the carburetors while also filter-
ing it.
The fuel cock lever positions are ex-
plained as follows and shown in the il-
lustrations.
ON
With the fuel cock lever in this position,
fuel flows to the carburetors when the
engine is running. Turn the fuel cock le-
ver to this position when starting the en-
gine and riding.RES
This indicates reserve. With the fuel
cock lever in this position, the fuel re-
serve is made available. Quickly turn
the fuel cock lever to this position if you
run out of fuel while riding, otherwise
the engine may stall and will have to be
primed (see “PRI”). After turning the
fuel cock lever to “RES”, refuel as soon
as possible and be sure to turn the fuel
cock lever back to “ON”!1. Arrow mark positioned over “ON”
