TIP
The multi-function display can be
set to the basic mode or the mea-
surement mode.

Tripmeter A will automatically re-
set to zero when changing from
the basic mode to the measure-ment mode or vice versa.
Basic mode:

a speedometer

an odometer

two tripmeters (which show the
distance traveled since they were last set to zero)

a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled since
the fuel level warning light came
on)

a clock

a self-diagnosis device
Measurement mode:

a speedometer

a distance-compensation tripme-
ter (which shows the accumulated
distance traveled since set to zero
and which can be calibrated to pro-
vide a more accurate tripmeter
reading)

a stopwatch (which shows the time
that has been accumulated since
the start of stopwatch measure-
ment)

a self-diagnosis device
TIP
Be sure to turn the key to “ON” be-
fore using the “SELECT 1”, “SE-
LECT 2” and “RESET” buttons.

When the key is turned to “ON”, all
of the display segments of the
multi-function display will appear and then disappear, in order to test
the electrical circuit.

For the U.K. only: To switch the
speedometer and odometer/trip-
meter displays between kilometers
and miles, press the “SELECT 2”
button until the display changes af-ter the key is turned to “ON”.
Basic mode
Odometer and tripmeter modes
Push the “SELECT 2” button to switch

4. Push either select button to set the minutes.
5. Push the “RESET” button, and the second digits will start flashing.
6. Push either select button to set the second digits to zero.
7. Push the “RESET” button for at least two seconds, and then re-
lease it to start the clock.
TIP
When setting the clock, push the
“SELECT 1” button to increase the
digits or “SELECT 2” button to de-
crease the digits. Pushing and
holding either button will increase
or decrease the digits continuously
until the button is released.

If the “RESET” button is not
pushed within 30 seconds, the
clock will not be set and will returnto the prior time. Changing from the basic mode to
the measurement mode
With the odometer selected, push the
“SELECT 1” button and “SELECT 2”
button together for at least two seconds
to change to the measurement mode.
Changing from the measurement
mode to the basic mode
TIPThe stopwatch must be stopped beforechanging to the basic mode.
1. Check that the stopwatch is not in operation. If the stopwatch is in op-
eration, stop it by pushing the “SE-
LECT 1” button and “SELECT 2”
button together.
2. Push the “SELECT 1” button and “SELECT 2” button together for at
least two seconds to change to the
basic mode.
Measurement mode (for the stop-
watch)
When the measurement mode is se-
lected, the stopwatch is displayed and it
can be started manually or automatical-
ly. Manual start
The manual start is the default setting
for the stopwatch. The stopwatch indi-
cator “ ” and the distance-compensa-
tion tripmeter indicator “ ” will start
flashing.
1. Push the “RESET” button to start the stopwatch.
2. Push the “SELECT 1” button and “SELECT 2” button together to
stop the stopwatch.
3. To resume stopwatch counting, push the “SELECT 1” button and
“SELECT 2” button together.
To reset the stopwatch to zero,

Tips for reducing fuel
consumption 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.
EAU17023
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/3
throttle. NOTICE: After 1000 km (600
mi) of operation, the engine oil must
be changed, and the oil filter car-
tridge or element replaced.
[ECA11282]

1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/2 throttle.
1600 km (1000 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 dealercheck the vehicle.

Valve clearance The valve clearance changes with use,
resulting in improper air-fuel mixture
and/or engine noise. To prevent this
from occurring, the valve clearance
must be adjusted by a Yamaha dealer
at the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
EAU21644
Tires Tires are the only contact between the
vehicle and the road. Safety in all con-
ditions of riding depends on a relatively
small area of road contact. Therefore, it
is essential to maintain the tires in good
condition at all times and replace them
at the appropriate time with the speci-
fied tires.
Tire air pressure
The tire air pressure should be checked
and, if necessary, adjusted before each
ride.
WARNING
EWA10503
Operation of this vehicle with im-
proper tire pressure may cause se-
vere injury or death from loss of
control.
The tire air pressure must be
checked and adjusted on cold
tires (i.e., when the temperature
of the tires equals the ambient
temperature).

The tire air pressure must be ad-
justed in accordance with the
riding speed and with the totalweight of rider, passenger, car-
go, and accessories approved
for this model.WARNING
EWA10511
Never overload your vehicle. Opera-
tion of an overloaded vehicle couldcause an accident.Tire air pressure (measured on cold
tires):
0–90 kg (0–198 lb):Front:125 kPa (1.25 kgf/cm
2, 18 psi)
Rear: 175 kPa (1.75 kgf/cm2, 25 psi)
90–185 kg (198–408 lb):
Front:150 kPa (1.50 kgf/cm2, 22 psi)
Rear:
200 kPa (2.00 kgf/cm2, 29 psi)
Maximum load*: 185 kg (408 lb)
* Total weight of rider, passenger, car- go and accessories
