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 clock
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)
TIP
Be sure to push the main switch to
“ON” before using the “SLCT 1”,
“SLCT 2” and “RST” buttons.

When the main switch is pushed to
“ON”, all of the display segments
of the multi-function display will ap-
pear and then disappear, in order

Measurement mode (for calibrating
the distance-compensation tripme-
ter’s reading)
The distance-compensation tripmeter
is a feature intended to provide a more
accurate tripmeter reading for enduro
riding. Calibrating this meter in accor-
dance with the distances specified on
the enduro course map will help famil-
iarize the rider with the course. In addi-
tion, calibrating the meter may also be
necessary when using tire, wheel,
chain sprocket sizes, etc. other than
specified. For further information con-
cerning the use of this meter, please
consult your nearby Yamaha dealer.
Calibrate the distance-compensation
tripmeter as follows.
To increase the reading, push the
“SLCT 1” button. To decrease the read-
ing, push the “SLCT 2” button. Pushing and holding either button will increase
or decrease the reading continuously
until the button is released.
TIPCalibrating the reading of the dis-
tance-compensation tripmeter is possi-
ble regardless of the stopwatchoperation.
Resetting the distance-compensa-
tion tripmeter or the distance-com-
pensation tripmeter in combination
with the stopwatchTIPResetting can be made only to the dis-
tance-compensation tripmeter or to the
distance-compensation tripmeter incombination with the stopwatch.
Resetting the distance-compensationtripmeter1. Check that the stopwatch mea-
surement is in operation.
2. Reset the distance-compensation tripmeter to zero by pushing the
“RST” button for at least two sec-
onds. Resetting the distance-compensation
tripmeter in combination with the stop-watch1. Stop the stopwatch.
2. Reset the distance-compensation
tripmeter and the stopwatch to
zero by pushing the “RST” button
for at least two seconds.
