MULTI-FUNCTION DISPLAY
COLD STARTER KNOB
When cold, the engine requires a
richer air-fuel mixture for starting. A
separate starter circuit, which is con-
trolled by the cold starter knob "1",
supplies this mixture. Pull the cold
starter knob out to open the circuit for
starting. When the engine has
warmed up, push it in to close the cir-
cuit.
HOT STARTER LEVER
The hot starter lever "1" is used when
starting a warm engine. Use the hot
starter lever when starting the engine
again immediately after it was
stopped (the engine is still warm).
Pulling the hot starter lever injects
secondary air to thin the air-fuel mix-
ture temporarily, allowing the engine
to be started more easily.
SIDESTAND
This sidestand "1" is used to support
only the machine when standing or
transporting it.
• Never apply additional force to
the sidestand.
• Hold up the sidestand before
starting out.
MULTI-FUNCTION DISPLAY
Be sure to stop the machine before
making any setting changes to the
multi-function display.
The multi-function display is
equipped with the following:
BASIC MODE:
• Speedometer
•Clock
• Two tripmeters (which shows the
distance that has been traveled
since it was last set to zero)
RACE MODE:
• Timer (which shows the time that
has been accumulated since the
start of timer measurement)
• Tripmeter (which shows the accu-
mulated travel distance in timer
measurement)
• Change tripmeter digits (capable of
change to any given ones)

MULTI-FUNCTION DISPLAY
Changing odometer and tripmeter
A/B (TRIP A/B)
1. Push the "SLCT2" button to
change the tripmeter display. The
display will change in the follow-
ing order:
Odometer →TRIP A→TRIP B→
TRIP A→Odometer.
To reset the digits, select the tripme-
ter involved and push the "RST" but-
ton for 2 seconds or more.
CHANGEOVER TO BASIC MODE/
RACE MODE
• Measurement using the timer func-
tion can be made in RACE MODE.
• Indicator will light up as an
identifier that shows RACE MODE
has been selected.
• RACE MODE cannot display the
functions as in BASIC MODE.
• Changeover to RACE MODE forc-
es the digits for tripmeter A (TRIP
A) in BASIC MODE to be reset.
Changeover from BASIC MODE to
RACE MODE
1. Push the "SLCT1" button and
"SLCT2" button for 2 seconds or
more at the same time to change
over to RACE MODE.
Changeover to RACE MODE will put
manual start measurement on stand-
by causing and to flash. (For
manual start, refer to "Putting mea-
surement on standby" in "RACE
MODE".)
Returning to BASIC MODE from
RACE MODE
It is possible to return to BASIC
MODE with timer measurement at a
stop.
1. Check that the timer is not in op-
eration. If the timer is in operation,
stop the timer by pushing the
"SLCT1" button and "SLCT2" but-
ton at the same time.
2. Push the "SLCT1" button and
"SLCT2" button for 2 seconds or
more at the same time to change
over to BASIC MODE.
RACE MODE
Putting measurement on standby
Starting measurement consists of the
following two starts, either of which
can be selected.
• Manual start
Starting measurement by the rider
himself operating the button. (A long
push on the "SLCT2" button will put
measurement on standby.)
• Auto start
Starting timer measurement automat-
ically on detection of the movement of
the machine. (A long push on the
"SLCT1" button will put measurement
on standby.)
Manual start
Initial setting at changeover to RACE
MODE will remain for manual start.
1. Check that changeover to RACE
MODE has been made. (Refer to
"Changeover from BASIC MODE
to RACE MODE".)
When the machine is made ready for
a run by manual start, and will
start flashing.
2. Start timer measurement by
pushing the "RST" button.
3. When stopping timer measure-
ment, pushing the "SLCT1" but-
ton and "SLCT2" button at the
same time.
If the machine is run while timer mea-
surement is not made, no change will
occur to the digit in tripmeter A (TRIP
A).
4. To resume the measurement,
again push the "SLCT1" button
and "SLCT2" button at the same
time.
Auto start
1. Check that changeover has been
made to RACE MODE. (Refer to
"Changeover from BASIC MODE
to RACE MODE".)
2. Make the machine ready for a run
by pushing the "SLCT1" button for
2 seconds or more.
When the measurement is made
ready for a run by auto start, and
will start flashing. Timer display
will turn on scrolling from left to right.

MAINTENANCE INTERVALS FOR COMPETITION USE
• The air filter needs more frequent service if you are riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
• Hydraulic brake service
• After disassembling the brake master cylinders and calipers, always change the fluid. Regularly check the brake fluid
levels and fill the reservoirs as required.
• Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers, and change the brake fluid.
• Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.
MAINTENANCE INTERVALS FOR COMPETITION USE
• The following schedule is intended as a general guide to maintenance and lubrication. Bear in mind that such factors as
weather, terrain, geographical location, and individual usage will alter the required maintenance and lubrication intervals.
If you are a doubt as to what intervals to follow in maintaining and lubricating your machine, consult your Yamaha dealer.
• Periodic inspection is essential in making full use of the machine performance. The service life of the parts varies sub-
stantially according to the environment in which the machine runs (e.g., rain, dirt, etc.). Therefore, earlier inspection is
required by reference to the list below.
