Multi-function meter unit
WARNING
EWA12422
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
making any setting changes to the
multi-function meter unit. Changingsettings while riding can distract the
operator and increase the risk of an
accident.
The multi-function meter unit is
equipped with the following:
a speedometer
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 since
the fuel level warning light came
on)
a stopwatch
a clock
a coolant temperature display
an air intake temperature display
a transmission gear display
a drive mode display (which shows
the selected drive mode)
a throttle opening position display
a fuel consumption display (instan-
taneous and average consumption
functions)
a self-diagnosis device
a display brightness, shift timing
indicator light and throttle opening
position display control mode
TIP
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/fuel consumption displays
between kilometers and miles,
press the “SELECT” button for at
least one second.

3Split time history
The split time history displays up to 20
stored split times. The split time history
can be displayed either in reverse chro-
nological order or by speed.
1. Push the “SELECT” button for at
least one second to select the re-
verse chronological order mode;
“L-20” displays on the stopwatch.
Push the “SELECT” button again
to select the speed mode; “F-20”
displays on the stopwatch.
2. Push the “RESET” button. De-
pending on the selected split time,
“L20” or “F20” displays on the cool-
ant temperature display/air intaketemperature display, and its corre-
sponding stored split time displays
on the stopwatch.
3. Push the “SELECT” button to
move down, and the “RESET” but-
ton to move up through the list.
TIP
When displaying in the reverse
chronological order, the split times
are shown from the latest to earli-
est (i.e., L20, L19, L18, L17).
When displaying in the speed or-
der, the split times are shown from
the fastest to slowest (i.e., F01,
F02, F03, F04).
Push the “RESET” button for at
least one second to reset all the re-
corded times for the selected split
time history.
4. Push the “SELECT” button for at
least one second to cancel the split
time history and return to the time
measurement.Odometer, tripmeter, instantaneous
fuel consumption and average fuel
consumption modes
Push the “SELECT” button to switch
the display between the odometer
mode “ODO”, the tripmeter modes
“TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2”, the instanta-
neous fuel consumption mode “km/L”
or “L/100 km”, and the average fuel
consumption mode “AVE_ _._ km/L” or
“AVE_ _._ L/100 km” in the following or-
der:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → km/L or
L/100 km → AVE_ _._ km/L or AVE_
_._ L/100 km → ODO

3 For the UK only:
Push the “SELECT” button to switch
the display between the odometer
mode “ODO”, the tripmeter modes
“TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2”, the instanta-
neous fuel consumption mode “km/L”,
“L/100 km” or “MPG”, and the average
fuel consumption mode “AVE_ _._
km/L”, “AVE_ _._ L/100 km” or “AVE_
_._ MPG” in the following order:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → km/L,
L/100 km or MPG → AVE_ _._ km/L,
AVE_ _._ L/100 km or AVE_ _._ MPG
→ ODO
If the fuel level warning light comes on
(see page 3-4), the display automatical-
ly changes to the fuel reserve tripmeter
mode “TRIP F” and starts counting the
distance traveled from that point. In that
case, push the “SELECT” button to
switch the display between the various
tripmeter, odometer, instantaneous fuel
consumption and average fuel con-
sumption modes in the following order:TRIP F → km/L or L/100 km → AVE_
_._ km/L or AVE_ _._ L/100 km →
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → TRIP F
For the UK only:
TRIP F → km/L, L/100 km or MPG →
AVE_ _._ km/L, AVE_ _._ L/100 km or
AVE_ _._ MPG → ODO → TRIP 1 →
TRIP 2 → TRIP F
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button, and then
push the “RESET” button for at least
one second.
If you do not reset the fuel reserve trip-
meter manually, it resets itself automat-
ically and the display returns to the prior
mode after refueling and traveling 5 km
(3 mi).Instantaneous fuel consumption mode
The instantaneous fuel consumption
display can be set to either “km/L”,
“L/100 km” or “MPG” (for the UK only).
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.
For the UK only: When the display
is set to “MPG”, the distance that
can be traveled on 1.0 Imp.gal of
fuel under the current riding condi-
tions is shown.

3To switch between the instantaneous
fuel consumption displays, push the
“SELECT” button for one second when
one of the displays is shown.
TIPIf traveling at speeds under 10 km/h
(6.0 mi/h), “_ _._” is displayed.Average fuel consumption modeThe average fuel consumption display
can be set to either “AVE_ _._ km/L”,
“AVE_ _._ L/100 km” or “AVE_ _._
MPG” (for the UK only).
This display shows the average fuel
consumption since it was last reset.
When the display is set to “AVE_
_._ km/L”, the average distance
that can be traveled on 1.0 L of fuel
is shown.
When the display is set to “AVE_
_._ L/100 km”, the average
amount of fuel necessary to travel
100 km is shown.
For the UK only: When the display
is set to “AVE_ _._ MPG”, the av-
erage distance that can be trav-
eled on 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel is
shown.
To switch between the average fuel
consumption displays, push the “SE-
LECT” button for one second when one
of the displays is shown.
To reset the average fuel consumption
display, select it by pushing the “SE-
LECT” button, and then push the “RE-
SET” button for at least one second.
TIPAfter resetting an average fuel con-
sumption display, “_ _._” is shown for
that display until the vehicle has trav-
eled 1 km (0.6 mi).

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.
EAU17083
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 6900
r/min. NOTICE: After 1000 km (600
mi) of operation, the engine oil must
be changed and the oil filter car-
tridge or element replaced.
[ECA10302]
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 8300
r/min.1600 km (1000 mi) and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.
NOTICE
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.
TIPDuring and after the engine break-in
period, the exhaust heat may cause
discoloration of the exhaust pipe, but
this is normal.
