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.

(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:

If there is a malfunction, “– –.–” will
be displayed. Have a Yamaha dealercheck the vehicle.

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.

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 thevehicle has traveled 1 km (0.6 mi).
CAUTION:

If there is a malfunction, “– –.–” will
be displayed. Have a Yamaha dealercheck the vehicle.Self-diagnosis device
This model is equipped with a self-diag-
nosis device for various electrical cir-
cuits.
If any of those circuits are defective, the
engine trouble warning light will come
on, and then the multi-function display
will indicate a two-digit error code.
If the multi-function display indicates
such an error code, note the code num-
ber, and then have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.
CAUTION:
ECA11790
If the multi-function display indi-
cates an error code, the vehicle
should be checked as soon as pos-
sible in order to avoid engine dam-age.
This model is also equipped with a self-
diagnosis device for the immobilizer
system.
If any of the immobilizer system circuits
are defective, the immobilizer system
indicator light will flash, and then the
multi-function display will indicate a
two-digit error code when the key is
turned to “ON”.NOTE:If the multi-function display indicates er-
ror code 52, this could be caused by
transponder interference. If this errorappears, try the following.
1. Use the code re-registering key to
start the engine.NOTE:Make sure there are no other immobi-
lizer keys close to the main switch, and
do not keep more than one immobilizer

OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS

EAU16810
Tips for reducing fuel con-
sumption 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.
