Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the “TRIP/ODO” button switches the dis-
play between the odometer mode “ODO” and the
tripmeter modes “A” and “B” in the following order:
ODO → TRIP A → TRIP B → ODO
To reset a tripmeter, select it by pushing the “TRIP/
ODO” button, and then hold the “TRIP/ODO” but-
ton for at least three seconds. The tripmeters can
be used to estimate the distance that can be trav-
eled with a full tank of fuel. This information will en-
able you to plan future fuel stops.
To switch the display between “km/h” and “mph”,
push and hold the “TRIP/ODO” button while turn-
ing the key to “ON”.

Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of fuel in the
fuel tank. The display segments of the fuel meter
disappear from “F” (full) towards “E” (empty) as the
fuel level decreases. When the “E” segment disap-
pears and the fuel level warning indicator flashes,
refuel as soon as possible.TIP
This fuel meter is equipped with a self-diagnosis
system. If the electrical circuit is defective, all the
display segments and fuel level warning indicator
will start flashing. If this occurs, have a Yamaha
dealer check the electrical circuit.

1 -FOR YOUR SAFETY – PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
Inspect your vehicle each time you use it to make sure the vehicle is in safe operating condition. Always fol-
low the inspection and maintenance procedures and schedules described in the Owner’s Manual.
WARNING
Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an accident or equip-
ment damage. Do not operate the vehicle if you find any problem. If a problem cannot be corrected
by the procedures provided in this manual, have the vehicle inspected by a Yamaha dealer.Before using this vehicle, check the following points:
ITEM ROUTINE PAGE

Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in the tank.
WARNING
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are extremely flam-
mable. To avoid fires and explosions and to re-
duce the risk of injury when refueling, follow these
instructions.1. Before refueling, turn off the engine and be
sure that driver and passenger are outside
the vehicle.
Never refuel while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or other sourc-
es of ignition such as the pilot lights of water
heaters and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Because fuel ex-
pands when it heats up, heat from the engine
or the sun can cause fuel to spill out of the
fuel tank.
3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.
4. Be sure the fuel tank cap is closed securely.
