If the ambient temperature climbs
above 50 °C, a higher temperature
than 50 °C will not be displayed.


The accuracy of the temperature
reading may be affected when
riding slowly [approximately under
20 km/h (12.5 mi/h)] or when
stopped at traffic signals, railroadcrossings, etc.
Instantaneous fuel consumption mode
This display shows the distance that
can be traveled on 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel
under the current riding conditions.
NOTE:If traveling at speeds under 10 km/h(6.0 mi/h), “_ _” will be displayed.
Average fuel consumption modeThis display shows the average fuel
consumption since it was last reset.
When the average fuel consumption
mode is selected, the display flashes
for five seconds, and then “AV _ _
MPG” (average distance that can be
traveled using 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel) is dis-
played.
NOTE:

To reset the average fuel con-
sumption display, push the “RE-
SET” button to select the mode
again, and then push the “RESET”
button for 1 second while the dis-
play is flashing.


After resetting the average fuel
consumption display, “_ _” will be
shown for that display until the ve-hicle has traveled 1 km (0.6 mi).
CAUTION:
ECA15470
If there is a malfunction, “- -” will be
displayed. Have a Yamaha dealercheck the vehicle.

Fuel Make sure that there is sufficient fuel in
the tank. When refueling, be sure to in-
sert the pump nozzle into the fuel tank
filler hole and to fill the tank to the bot-
tom 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, since
fuel may deteriorate painted surfac-es or plastic parts.

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.

Fuel tank breather/overflow
hose Before operating the motorcycle:

Check the fuel tank breather/over-
flow hose connection.


Check the fuel tank breather/over-
flow hose for cracks or damage,
and replace it if damaged.


Make sure that the end of the fuel
tank breather/overflow hose is not
blocked, and clean it if necessary.
EAU13441
Catalytic converter This vehicle is equipped with catalytic
converters in the exhaust system.
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 idletoo long.

OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS

EAU16810
Tips for reducing fuel
consumption Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the following
tips to reduce fuel consumption:

Shift up swiftly, and avoid high en-
gine speeds during acceleration.


Do not rev the engine while shifting
down, and avoid high engine
speeds with no load on the engine.


Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length of
time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traffic
lights or at railroad crossings).
EAU16841
Engine break-in There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1600 km (1000 mi). For
this reason, you should read the follow-
ing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
tle operation or any condition that might
result in engine overheating must be
avoided.
EAU17121
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 4500
r/min.
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 5400
r/min.
CAUTION:
ECA10331
After 1000 km (600 mi) of operation,
the engine oil and final gear oil must
be changed, and the oil filter car-tridge or element replaced.
1600 km (1000 mi) and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.CAUTION:
ECA10310


Keep the engine speed out of
the tachometer red zone.


If any engine trouble should oc-
cur during the engine break-in
period, immediately have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehi-cle.
