3Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel meter disappear to-
wards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When the last segment
starts flashing, refuel as soon as possi-
ble.
When the key is turned to “ON”, all dis-
play segments come on once in order
to test the electrical circuit.
TIPThis fuel meter is equipped with a self-
diagnosis system. If a problem is de-
tected in the electrical circuit, all display segments start flashing. If this occurs,
have a Yamaha dealer check the elec-
trical circuit.
Eco indicator
This indicator comes on when the vehi-
cle is being operated in an environmen-
tally friendly, fuel-efficient manner. The
indicator goes off when the vehicle is
stopped.TIPConsider the following tips to reduce
fuel consumption:●
Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
●
Travel at a constant speed.
●
Select the transmission gear that
is appropriate for the vehicle
speed.
Transmission gear display
This display shows the selected gear.
The neutral position is indicated by “ ”
and by the neutral indicator light “ ”.

If the handlebar grip or throttle
grip becomes worn or damaged,
stop using the grip warmers and
replace the grips.
Selecting the information displayThere are 3 information displays. The
selected information display can be
switched by pushing the select switch.
The following items are shown in the in-
formation displays:●
an odometer display
●
tripmeter displays
●
a fuel reserve tripmeter display
●
an estimated traveling range dis-
play
●
an elapsed time display
●
an ambient temperature display
●
a coolant temperature display
●
an average fuel consumption dis-
play
●
an instantaneous fuel consump-
tion display
The items shown in each information
display can be selected.
To set or select the items shown, see
page 3-16.
Odometer display:
Tripmeter displays:
“TRIP-1” and “TRIP-2” show the dis-
tance traveled since they were last set
to zero.
When approximately 5.5 L (1.45 US
gal, 1.21 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the last segment of the fuel
meter starts flashing. In addition, the in-
formation display 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 select switch
switches the display between the vari-
ous information displays in the follow-
ing order;

TIPThe selected information display can-
not be switched while the message “Hi”
is flashing.NOTICE
ECA10021
Do not continue to operate the en-
gine if it is overheating.Average fuel consumption display:
The average fuel consumption display
modes “km/L”, “L/100km” or “MPG” (for
the UK only) show the average fuel
consumption since the display was last
reset.●
The “km/L” display shows the av-
erage distance that can be trav-
eled on 1.0 L of fuel.
●
The “L/100km” display shows the
average amount of fuel necessary
to travel 100 km.
●
For the UK only: The “MPG” dis-
play shows the average distance
that can be traveled on 1.0 Imp.gal
of fuel.
To reset the average fuel consumption
display, use the select switch to select
the information display that contains
the average fuel consumption display.
Push the “RESET” button briefly so that
the average fuel consumption display
flashes, and then push the “RESET”
button again for at least 2 seconds
while the display is flashing.
TIPAfter resetting the average fuel con-
sumption display, “_ _._” will be shown
for that display until the vehicle has
traveled 1 km (0.6 mi).NOTICE
ECA15473
If there is a malfunction, “– –.–” will
be continuously displayed. Have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.Instantaneous fuel consumption dis-play:The instantaneous fuel consumption
display modes “km/L”, “L/100km” or
“MPG” (for the UK only) show the fuel
consumption under the current riding
conditions.●
The “km/L” display shows the dis-
tance that can be traveled on 1.0 L
of fuel.

NOTICE
ECA10260
●
Even with the transmission in
the neutral position, do not
coast for long periods of time
with the engine off, and do not
tow the motorcycle for long dis-
tances. The transmission is
properly lubricated only when
the engine is running. Inade-
quate lubrication may damage
the transmission.
●
Always use the clutch while
changing gears to avoid damag-
ing the engine, transmission,
and drive train, which are not
designed to withstand the
shock of forced shifting.
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.
EAU17123
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 4500
r/min. NOTICE: After 1000 km (600
mi) of operation, the engine oil and
final gear oil must be changed, and
the oil filter cartridge or element re-
placed.
