Clock mode
1. Clock
2. “SELECT” b\ftton
3. “\bESET” b\ftton
TIP
The clock is displayed even when the
key is t\frned to "OFF".
To set the clock:
1. P\fsh the "SELECT" b\ftton for atleast fo\fr seconds.
2. When the ho\fr digits start flash- ing, p\fsh the "\bESET" b\ftton to
set the ho\frs.
3. P\fsh the "SELECT" b\ftton, and the min\fte digits will start flashing.
4. P\fsh the "\bESET" b\ftton to set the min\ftes.
5. P\fsh the "SELECT" b\ftton and then release it to \bstart the clock.
Fuel meter
1. F\fel meter
With the key in the "ON" position, the
f\fel meter indicates the amo\fnt of f\fel
in the f\fel tank. When the key is t\frned
to "ON", all of the display segments of
the f\fel meter will appear one after the
other and then disappear in order to
test the electrical circ\fit. The display
segments of the f\fel meter disappear
towards "E" (Empty) as the f\fel level
decreases. When only one segment is
left near "E" (Empty), ref\fel as soon
as possible.
TIP
This f\fel meter is eq\fipped with a self-
diagnosis system. If the electrical cir-
c\fit is defective, all the segments will
start flashing. If this occ\frs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical cir-
c\fit.

WARNING0
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, follow
these instructions.\4
1. Befo\be \befuel\fng, tu\bn off the en- g\fne and be su\be that no one \fs
s\ftt\fng on the veh\fcle. Neve\b \befuel
wh\fle smok\fng, o\b wh\fle \fn the
v\fc\fn\fty of spa\bks, open flames, o\b
othe\b sou\bces of \fgn\ft\fon such as
the p\flot l\fghts of wate\b heate\bs
and clothes d\bye\bs.
2. Do not ove\bf\fll the fuel tank. When \befuel\fng, be su\be to \fnse\bt the
pump nozzle \fnto the fuel tank
f\flle\b hole. Stop f\fll\fng when the fu-
el \beaches the bottom of the f\flle\b
tube. Because fuel expands when
\ft heats up, heat f\bom the eng\fne
o\b the sun can cause fuel to sp\fll
out of the fuel ta\pnk.
1. Fuel tank f\flle\b tube
2. Fuel level
3. W\fpe up any sp\flled fuel \fmmed\f-ately. NOTICE: Immediately wipe
off spilled fuel with a clean, dry,
soft cloth, since fuel may deteri-
orate painted surfaces or plas-
tic parts.
4. Be su\be to secu\bely close the fuel tank cap.
EWA15151
WARNING0
Gasoline is poisonous and can
cause injury or death. Handle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gaso-
line by mouth. If you should swal-
low some gasoline or inhale a lot of
gasoline vapor, or get some gaso-
line in your eyes, see your doctor
immediately. If gasoline spills on

water. I\f gasoline spills on your
clothing, change your clothes.
EAU13390

\bse only unleaded gasoline. The use
o\f 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 en\fine has been \besi\f-
ne\b to use premium unlea\be\b \fasoli-
ne with a research octane number of
95 or hi\fher. If knockin\f (or pin\fin\f)
occurs, use a \fasoline of a \bifferent
bran\b. Use of unlea\be\b fuel will
exten\b spark plu\f life an\b re\buce
maintenance costs.

Fuel tank breather/over\flow
hose
1. Fuel tank breather/hose
2. Hose clamp
Before operatin\f the motorcycle:
Check the fuel tank breather/over-
flow hose connection.
Check the fuel tank
breather/overflow hose for
cracks or \bama\fe, an\b replace it
if \bama\fe\b.
Make sure that the en\b of the fuel
tank breather/overflow hose is
not blocke\b, an\b clean it if
necessary.
Make sure that the en\b of the fuel
tank breather/overflow hose is
positione\b insi\be of the clamp.
EAU13433
Catalytic converters
This vehicle is equippe\b with catalytic
converters in the exhaust system.
EWA10862
The exhaust system is hot a\fter
operation. To prevent a \fire hazard
or burns:
Do not park the vehicle near
possible \fire hazards such as
grass or other materials that
easily burn.
Park the vehicle in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch the hot
exhaust system.
Make sure that the exhaust
system has cooled down be\fo-
re doing any maintenance
work.
Do not allow the engine to idle
more than a \few minutes. Long
idling can cause a build-up o\f
heat.
