Speedometer
The speedometer shows the riding
speed.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the
speedometer needle will sweep once
across the speed range and then return
to zero in order to test the electrical cir-
cuit.
EAU44981
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. When the key is
turned to “ON”, the fuel gauge needle
will sweep once across the fuel level
range and then return to “E” (Empty) in
order to test the electrical circuit. The
needle moves towards “E” as the fuel
level decreases. When the needle
reaches the red zone, approximately
3.0 L (0.79 US gal, 0.66 Imp.gal) re-
main in the fuel tank. If this occurs, re-
fuel as soon as possible.
TIP

Do not allow the fuel tank to empty itself
completely.

The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:


a tachometer

an odometer

two tripmeters (which show the
distance traveled since they were
last set to zero)

a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled when
the remaining fuel in the fuel tank
reaches approximately 3.0 L
(0.79 US gal, 0.66 Imp.gal))

a self-diagnosis device

a clock

an oil change tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled since
the last engine oil change)

a V-belt replacement tripmeter
(which shows the distance trav-
eled since the last V-belt replace-
ment)
TIP


Be sure to turn the key to “ON” be-
fore using the “SELECT” and
“RESET” buttons.

When the key is turned to “ON”, all
of the display segments of the
multi-function display will appear
one after the other and then disap-
pear, in order to test the electrical
circuits.
Tachometer
The tachometer allows the rider to
monitor the engine speed and keep it
within the ideal power range.
NOTICE

ECA10031
Do not operate the engine in the ta-
chometer red zone.
Red zone: 8250 r/min and above
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.

9 Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the “SELECT” button switches
the display between the odometer
mode and the tripmeter modes in the
following order:
Odo
→
Trip-A
→
Trip-B
→
OIL Trip
→
V-BELT Trip
→
Odo
When approximately 3.0 L (0.79 US
gal, 0.66 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 the
distance 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:
Odo
→
F Trip
→
Trip-A
→
Trip-B
→
OILTrip
→
V-BELT Trip
→
Odo
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button until “F Trip”,
“Trip-A” or “Trip-B” is displayed. While
“F Trip”, “Trip-A” or “Trip-B” is dis-
played, push the “RESET” button for at
least one second. If you do not reset
the fuel reserve tripmeter manually, it
will reset itself automatically and the
display will return to the prior mode af-
ter refueling and traveling 5 km (3 mi).
TIP

The display cannot be changed back to
“F Trip” after pushing the “RESET” but-
ton.

Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING

EWA10881
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, follow
these instructions.
1. Before refueling, turn off the en-
gine and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters and
clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When
refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler
hole. Stop filling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the filler
tube. Because fuel expands 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 immedi-
ately.
NOTICE:
Immediately wipe
off spilled fuel with a clean, dry,
soft cloth, since fuel may deteri-
orate painted surfaces or plastic
parts.

[ECA10071]

4. Be sure to securely close the fuel
tank cap.
WARNING

EWA15151
Gasoline is poisonous and can
cause injury or death. Handle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gaso-
line by mouth. If you should swallow
some gasoline or inhale a lot of gas-
oline vapor, or get some gasoline inyour eyes, see your doctor immedi-
ately. If gasoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap and water. If gaso-
line spills on your clothing, change
your clothes.
EAU33520
NOTICE

ECA11400
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause severe
damage to internal engine parts,
such as the valves and piston rings,
as well as to the exhaust system.
Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use regular unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
91 or higher. If knocking (or pinging) oc-
curs, use a gasoline of a different brand
or premium unleaded fuel. Use of un-
leaded fuel will extend spark plug life
