Multi-function display
WARNING
EWA14430
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
making any setting changes to themulti-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 reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled on the
fuel reserve)


a clock


a fuel meter


a coolant temperature meter


a transmission gear display


an ambient temperature display


two fuel consumption displays (in-
stantaneous and average)


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
NOTE:When selecting “TRIP 1” or “TRIP 2”,the display flashes for five seconds.
When approximately 5.5 L (1.45 US
gal) (1.21 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the display will automatically
change to the fuel reserve tripmeter
mode “F-TRIP” and start counting the

3With the key in the “ON” position, the
coolant temperature meter indicates
the temperature of the coolant. When
the key is turned to “ON”, all of the dis-
play segments of the coolant tempera-
ture meter will appear one after the
other and then disappear in order to
test the electrical circuit. The coolant
temperature varies with changes in the
weather and engine load. If the top seg-
ment flashes, stop the vehicle and let
the engine cool. (See page 6-35.)
CAUTION:

Do not operate the engine if it isoverheated.Transmission gear display
This display shows the selected gear.
The neutral position, however, is not
displayed, it is indicated by the neutral
indicator light.Ambient temperature, instanta-
neous fuel consumption and aver-

(except for the UK)
Push the “RESET” button to switch the
display between the ambient tempera-
ture mode and the fuel consumption
modes in the following order:
Air (ambient temperature) → km/L or
L/100 km (instantaneous fuel con-
sumption) → AV_ _ km/L or AV_ _

3 Ambient temperature mode
This display shows the ambient tem-
perature from –9 °C to 50 °C in 1 °C in-
crements. The temperature displayed
may vary from the ambient tempera-
ture.NOTE:

If the ambient temperature falls be-
low –9 °C, a lower temperature
than –9 °C will not be displayed.


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) or when stopped at trafficsignals, railroad crossings, etc.
Instantaneous fuel consumption mode
The instantaneous fuel consumption
display can be set to either “km/L” or
“L/100 km”.

When the display is set to “km/L”,
the distance that can be traveled
on 1.0 L of fuel under the current
riding conditions is shown.


When the display is set to “L/100
km”, the amount of fuel necessary
to travel 100 km under the current
riding conditions is shown.
NOTE:

To switch between the two instan-
taneous fuel consumption dis-
plays, push the “RESET” button for
1 second when either display is
shown.


If traveling at speeds under 10km/h, “_ _” will be displayed.
Average fuel consumption mode
This display shows the average fuel
consumption since it was last reset.

3The average fuel consumption display
can be set to either “AV _ _ km/L” or
“AV _ _ L/100 km”.
When the average fuel consumption
mode is selected, the display flashes
for five seconds, and then, depending
on the unit set, “AV _ _ km/L” (average
distance that can be traveled using 1.0
L of fuel) or “AV _ _ L/100 km” (average
amount of fuel necessary to travel 100
km) is displayed.
To reset the average fuel consumption
display, push the “RESET” button to se-
lect the mode again, and then push the
“RESET” button for 1 second while the
display is flashing.
NOTE:

To switch between the two aver-
age fuel consumption displays,
push the “RESET” button for 1
second when either display is
shown.


After resetting an average fuel
consumption display, “_ _” will be
shown for that display until the ve-hicle has traveled 1 km.
CAUTION:

If there is a malfunction, “- -” will be
displayed. Have a Yamaha dealercheck the vehicle.
Ambient temperature, instanta-
neous fuel consumption and aver-
age fuel consumption modes (for
the UK only)
Push the “RESET” button to switch the
display between the ambient tempera-
ture mode and the fuel consumption
modes in the following order:Air (ambient temperature) → MPG (in-
stantaneous fuel consumption) → AV_

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:

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.
