●
two tripmeters (which show the
distance traveled since they were
last set to zero, the time passed
since the tripmeters were set to ze-
ro, and the average speed traveled
during this time)
●
a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled since
the fuel level warning light came
on)
●
a clock
●
an ambient temperature display
●
an oil change indicator (which
comes on when the engine oil
should be changed)
TIP●
For the UK, the distance traveled
is displayed in miles and the tem-
perature reading is displayed in °F.
●
For other countries, the distance
traveled is displayed in kilometers
and the temperature reading is dis-
played in °C.
Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the “MODE” button switches
the display between the odometer
mode “Total” and the tripmeter modes
“Trip” in the following order:
Total → Trip 1 → Trip 2 → Trip/fuel →
TotalTIPThe Trip/fuel odometer is only activated
if the fuel level warning light comes on.Pushing the “SET” button when in the
tripmeter mode switches the display
between the different tripmeter func-
tions in the following order:Trip 1 or Trip 2 → Time 1 or 2 → Aver-
age speed 1 or 2 → Trip 1 or Trip 2
If the fuel level warning light comes on
(See page 3-5.), the display will auto-
matically change to the fuel reserve
tripmeter mode “Trip/fuel” and start
counting the distance traveled from that
point. In that case, pushing the “MODE”
button switches the display between
the various tripmeter and odometer
modes in the following order:
Trip/Fuel → Trip 1 → Trip 2 → Total →

3Oil change indicator “OIL”
The engine oil should be changed
when this indicator comes on. The indi-
cator stays on until it is reset. After
changing the engine oil, reset the indi-
cator as follows.
1. With the key turned to “ON”, while
holding the “MODE” and “SET”
buttons pushed, turn the key to
“OFF”, and then turn the key back
to “ON”.
2. Continue holding the “MODE” and
“SET” buttons pushed for two to
five seconds.
3. Release the buttons and the oil
change indicator will go off.
TIP●
The oil change indicator will come
on at the initial 1000 km (600 mi),
5000 km (3000 mi) after the initial
1000 km (600 mi) and every 6000
km (3600 mi) thereafter.
●
If the engine oil is changed before
the oil change indicator comes on
(i.e. before the periodic oil change
interval has been reached), the in-
dicator must be reset after the oil
change for the next periodic oil
change to be indicated at the cor-
rect time. After resetting, the indi-
cator will come on for two seconds.
If the indicator does not come on,
repeat the procedure.

FOR YOUR SAFETY – PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
4-1

EAU15596
Inspect your vehicle each time you use it to make sure the vehicle is in safe operating condition. Always follow the inspection
and maintenance procedures and schedules described in the Owner’s Manual.
WARNING
EWA11151
Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an accident or equipment 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 CHECKS PAGE
Fuel Check fuel level in fuel tank.
Refuel if necessary.
Check fuel line for leakage.3-10
Engine oil Check oil level in engine.
If necessary, add recommended oil to specified level.
Check vehicle for oil leakage.6-10
Final transmission oil Check vehicle for oil leakage. 6-13
Coolant Check coolant level in reservoir.
If necessary, add recommended coolant to specified level.
Check cooling system for leakage.6-14
Front brake Check operation.
If soft or spongy, have Yamaha dealer bleed hydraulic system.
Check brake pads for wear.
Replace if necessary.
Check fluid level in reservoir.
If necessary, add specified brake fluid to specified level.
Check hydraulic system for leakage.6-19, 6-20, 6-21

OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS
5-4
5
EAU16820
Tips for reducing fuel con-
sumption Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the following
tips to reduce fuel consumption:●
Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
●
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).
EAU16830
Engine break-in There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1000 km (600 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
1000 km (600 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.
EAUM2281
0–500 km (0–300 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/3
throttle.
500–1000 km (300–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/2
throttle. NOTICE: After 1000 km (600
mi) of operation, the engine oil and
final transmission oil must be
changed, and the engine oil filter el-
ement replaced.
[ECAM1091]
1000 km (600 mi) and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.NOTICE
ECA10270
If any engine trouble should occur
during the engine break-in period,
immediately have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.
