SAFETY INFORMATION
1-4
1 tor and may limit control ability,
therefore, such accessories are
not recommended.


Use caution when adding electri-
cal accessories. If electrical acces-
sories exceed the capacity of the
motorcycle’s electrical system, an
electric failure could result, which
could cause a dangerous loss of
lights or engine power.
Gasoline and exhaust gas


GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMA-
BLE:
Always turn the engine off when
refueling.
Take care not to spill any gaso-
line on the engine or exhaust
system when refueling.
Never refuel while smoking or in
the vicinity of an open flame.


Never start the engine or let it run
for any length of time in a closed
area. The exhaust fumes are poi-
sonous and may cause loss of
consciousness and death within a
short time. Always operate your
motorcycle in an area that has ad-
equate ventilation.


Always turn the engine off before
leaving the motorcycle unattended
and remove the key from the main
switch. When parking the motor-
cycle, note the following:
The engine and exhaust system
may be hot, therefore, park the
motorcycle in a place where pe-
destrians or children are not like-
ly to touch these hot areas.
Do not park the motorcycle on a
slope or soft ground, otherwise it
may fall over.
Do not park the motorcycle near
a flammable source, (e.g., a ker-
osene heater, or near an open
flame), otherwise it could catch
fire.


When transporting the motorcycle
in another vehicle, make sure that
it is kept upright. If the motorcycle
should lean over, gasoline may
leak out of the fuel tank.


If you should swallow any gaso-
line, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor,
or allow gasoline to get into your
eyes, see your doctor immediately.
If any gasoline spills on your skinor clothing, immediately wash the
affected area with soap and water
and change your clothes.

Tachometer The electric tachometer allows the rider
to monitor the engine speed and keep it
within the ideal power range.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the ta-
chometer needle will sweep once
across the r/min range and then return
to zero r/min in order to test the electri-
cal circuit.CAUTION:
ECA10031
Do not operate the engine in the ta-
chometer red zone.Red zone: 9000 r/min and above

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


a fuel consumption display (instan-
taneous and average consumption
functions)


a self-diagnosis device
NOTE:Be sure to turn the key to “ON” before
using the “SELECT” and “RESET” but-tons.

3 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 thedistance traveled from that point. In that
case, pushing the “SELECT” button
switches the display between the vari-
ous tripmeter and odometer modes in
the following order:
F-TRIP → ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 →
F-TRIP
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button, and then
push the “SELECT” button for at least
one second while the display is flash-
ing. If you do not reset the fuel reserve
tripmeter manually, it will reset itself au-
tomatically and the display will return to
the prior mode after refueling and trav-
eling 5 km (3 mi).Clock
To set the clock:
1. Push the “SELECT” button and
“RESET” button together for at
least two seconds.
2. When the hour digits start flashing,
push the “RESET” button to set the
hours.
3. Push the “SELECT” button, and
the minute digits will start flashing.
4. Push the “RESET” button to set
the minutes.
5. Push the “SELECT” button and
then release it to start the clock.

3Fuel 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 the last segment
starts flashing, refuel as soon as possi-
ble. When the key is turned to “ON”, all
of the display segments of the fuel
meter will appear one after the other
and then disappear in order to test the
electrical circuit.
NOTE:This fuel meter is equipped with a self-
diagnosis system. If the electrical circuit
is defective, all the display segmentswill start flashing. If this occurs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical cir-
cuit.
Coolant temperature meter
With 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 6-34.)
CAUTION:
ECA10020
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.

3 Ambient temperature, instanta-
neous fuel consumption and aver-
age fuel consumption modes
(except for the UK)
Push the “RESET” button to switch the
display between the ambient tempera-
ture mode “Air”, the instantaneous fuel
consumption mode “km/L” or “L/100
km” and the average fuel consumption
mode “AV_ _._ km/L” or “AV_ _._ L/100
km” in the following order:
Air → km/L or L/100 km → AV_ _._
km/L or AV_ _._ L/100 km → AirAmbient 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.The 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” (aver-
age distance that can be traveled using
1.0 L of fuel) or “AV_ _._ L/100 km” (av-
erage amount of fuel necessary to trav-
el 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 thevehicle has traveled 1 km.
CAUTION:
