with the following:●
a digital clock
●
a digital speedometer (which
shows riding speed)
●
an odometer (which shows the to-
tal distance traveled)
●
a tripmeter (which shows the dis-
tance traveled since it was last set
to zero)
●
a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled on the
fuel reserve)
●
a fuel gauge
●
a self-diagnosis device
TIP●
Be sure to turn the key to “ ” be-

Pushing the “RESET/SELECT” button
switches the display between the
odometer mode “ODO” and the tripme-
ter “TRIP” in the following order:ODO → TRIP → ODO
If the fuel level warning indicator comes
on (see page 3-2), the odometer dis-
play will automatically change to the
fuel reserve tripmeter mode “TRIP F”
and start counting the distance traveled
from that point. In that case, pushing
the “RESET/SELECT” button switches
the display between the various tripme-
ter and odometer modes in the follow-
ing order:
TRIP F → ODO → TRIP → TRIP FTo reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “RESET/SELECT” button, and
then push it again for at least three sec-
onds. If you do not reset the fuel re-
serve tripmeter manually, it will reset
itself automatically and the display will
return to the prior mode after refueling
and traveling 5 km (3 mi).
TIPThe display cannot be changed back to
“TRIP F” after pushing the “RESET/SE-
LECT” button.Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel gauge disappear to-
wards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level

cator comes on. Refuel as soon as pos-
sible.
TIPThe display segment containing the let-
ter ‘E’ (Empty) stays on continuously
and is not an indicator of fuel level in the
fuel tank.Self-diagnosis device
This model is equipped with a self-diag-
nosis device for the fuel electrical cir-
cuit.
If a problem is detected in the fuel elec-
trical circuit, all LCD segments of the
fuel gauge and the fuel level warning in-dicator will flash alternately. If this oc-
curs, have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle.
