“TRIP 1”, “TRIP 2” and the clock mode
in the following order:
ODO
→ TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → CLOCK →
ODO
If the fuel level warning light comes on
(see page 3-2), the odometer display will
automatically change to the fuel reserve
tripmeter mode “F-TRIP” and start
counting the distance traveled from that
point. In that case, pushing the
“SELECT” button switches the display
between the various tripmeter, odometer
and clock modes in the following order:
F-TRIP → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → CLOCK
→ ODO → F-TRIP
To reset a tripmeter, select it by pushing

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR
EAU21960
Cast wheelsTo maximize the performance, durability,
and safe operation of your motorcycle,
note the following points regarding the
specified wheels.l
The wheel rims should be checked
for cracks, bends or warpage before
each ride. If any damage is found,
have a Yamaha dealer replace the
wheel. Do not attempt even the
smallest repair to the wheel. A
deformed or cracked wheel must be
replaced.
l
The wheel should be balanced
whenever either the tire or wheel
has been changed or replaced. An
unbalanced wheel can result in poor
performance, adverse handling
characteristics, and a shortened
tire life.
l
Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire surface
must first be “broken in” for it to
develop its optimal characteristics.

2. To increase the clutch lever free play, turn the adjusting bolt in
direction (a). To decrease the clutch
lever free play, turn the adjusting
