Multi-function display The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:
a speedometer (which shows the
riding speed)
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 since
the fuel level warning light came
on)
a clock
a self-diagnosis device
NOTE:
Be sure to turn the key to “ON” be-
fore using the “SELECT” and “RE-
SET” buttons.
For the U.K. only: To switch the
speedometer and odometer/trip-
meter displays between kilometers
and miles, press the “SELECT”button for at least two seconds.
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
If the fuel level warning light comes on
(see page 3-3), the odometer display
will automatically change to the fuel re-
serve tripmeter mode “F-TRIP” and
start counting the distance traveled

3 from that point. In that case, pushing
the “SELECT” button switches the dis-
play between the various tripmeter and
odometer modes in the following order:

F-TRIP
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button, and then
push the “RESET” button for at least
one second while the selected tripme-
ter is flashing. If you do not reset the
fuel reserve tripmeter manually, it will
reset itself automatically and the dis-
play will return to the prior mode after
refueling and traveling 5 km (3 mi).
Clock mode
Turn the key to “ON”.
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,

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 (e.g.,
11, 12, 13).
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:
ECA11590
If the display indicates an error
code, the vehicle should be checked
as soon as possible in order to avoidengine damage.
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 (e.g., 51, 52, 53)
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
key on the same key ring! Immobilizer
system keys may cause signal interfer-
ence, which may prevent the enginefrom starting.
2. If the engine starts, turn it off, and
try starting the engine with the
standard keys.
3. If one or both of the standard keys
do not start the engine, take the
vehicle, the code re-registering

WARNING
EWA10460
The front and rear tires should
be of the same make and de-
sign, otherwise the handling
characteristics of the vehicle
cannot be guaranteed.
After extensive tests, only the
tires listed below have been ap-
proved for this model byYamaha Motor Co., Ltd.
WARNING
EWA10570
Have a Yamaha dealer replace
excessively worn tires. Besides
being illegal, operating the
motorcycle with excessively
worn tires decreases riding sta-
bility and can lead to loss of
control.
The replacement of all wheel-
and brake-related parts, includ-
ing the tires, should be left to a
Yamaha dealer, who has the
necessary professional knowl-
edge and experience.
It is not recommended to patch
a punctured tube. If unavoid-
able, however, patch the tube
very carefully and replace it as
soon as possible with a high-quality product.
