The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:
●
a fuel meter
●
a coolant temperature meter
●
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 bottom segment of the fuel
meter and fuel level warning indi-
cator started flashing)
●
a self-diagnosis device
●
a clock
●
an ambient temperature display
●
an oil change indicator
●
a V-belt replacement indicator
TIP●
Be sure to turn the key to “ON” be-
fore using the “SELECT” and “RE-
SET” 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.
Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the “SELECT” button switches
the display between the odometer
mode “Odo” and the tripmeter modes
“Trip” in the following order:
Odo/Trip (top) → Trip (bottom)/Trip
(top) → Odo/Trip (top)When approximately 2.0 L (0.53 US
gal, 0.44 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the bottom segment of the
fuel meter and fuel level warning indica-
tor will start flashing, and the display will
automatically change to the fuel re-
serve tripmeter mode “Trip F” and start
counting the distance traveled from that
point. In that case, pushing the “SE-
LECT” button switches the display be-
tween the various tripmeter and
odometer modes in the following order:
Trip F/Trip (top) → Trip (bottom)/Trip
(top) → Odo/Trip (top) → Trip F/Trip

To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button until “Trip” or
“Trip F” begins flashing (“Trip” or “Trip
F” will only flash for five seconds).
While “Trip” or “Trip F” is flashing, push
the “RESET” button for at least one
second. If you do not reset the fuel re-
serve tripmeter manually, it will reset it-self 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” but-
ton.Fuel meter
With the key in the “ON” position, the
fuel meter indicates the amount of fuel
in the fuel tank. The display segments
of the fuel meter disappear towards “E”
(Empty) as the fuel level decreases.
When the fuel level reaches the bottom
segment near “E”, the fuel level warn-
ing indicator and the bottom segment
will flash. Refuel as soon as possible.
Coolant temperature meter
With the key in the “ON” position, the
coolant temperature meter indicates
the temperature of the coolant. The
coolant temperature varies with chang-
es in the weather and engine load. If
the top segment and coolant tempera-ture warning indicator flash, stop the
vehicle and let the engine cool. (See
page 6-36.)
NOTICE

This indicator flashes at the initial 1000
km (600 mi), then at 6000 km (3500 mi)
and every 6000 km (3500 mi) thereafter
to indicate that the engine oil should be
changed.
After changing the engine oil, reset the
oil change indicator. (See page 6-10.)

EAU12995
ABS (for ABS models) The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con-
trol system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently. The ABS
securely controls wheel lockup during
emergency braking on changing road
surfaces and under various weather
conditions, thereby maximizing tire ad-
hesion and performance while provid-
ing a smooth braking action. The ABS
is monitored by an ECU, which will
have recourse to manual braking if a
malfunction occurs.
WARNING
EWA10090
●
The ABS performs best on long
braking distances.
●
On certain (rough or gravel)
roads, the braking distance may
be longer with than without the
ABS. Therefore, always keep a
sufficient distance to the vehicle
ahead to match the riding
speed.
TIP●
The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test for a few seconds each
time the vehicle first starts off after
the key was turned to “ON”. During
this test, a “clicking” noise can be
heard from the front of the vehicle,
and if either brake lever is even
slightly applied, a vibration can be
felt at the lever, but these do not in-
dicate a malfunction.
●
When the ABS is activated, the
brakes are operated in the usual
way. A pulsating action may be felt
at the brake levers, but this does
not indicate a malfunction.
●
This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience the
pulsating at the brake levers when
the ABS is operating. However,
special tools are required, so
please consult your Yamaha deal-
er when performing this test.

WARNING
EWA11091
Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly closed after filling fuel.
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard.
EAU13221
Fuel Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10881
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, follow
these instructions.1. Before refueling, turn off the en-
gine and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters and
clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When
refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler
hole. Stop filling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the filler
tube. Because fuel expands when
it heats up, heat from the engine or
the sun can cause fuel to spill out
of the fuel tank.3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately. NOTICE: Immediately wipe
off spilled fuel with a clean, dry,
soft cloth, since fuel may deteri-
orate painted surfaces or plastic
parts.
[ECA10071]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel
tank cap.
WARNING
EWA15151
Gasoline is poisonous and can
cause injury or death. Handle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gaso-
line by mouth. If you should swallow
some gasoline or inhale a lot of gas-
oline vapor, or get some gasoline in
your eyes, see your doctor immedi-1. Fuel tank filler tube

NOTICE
ECA11400
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause severe
damage to internal engine parts,
such as the valves and piston rings,
as well as to the exhaust system.Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use premium unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
95 or higher. If knocking (or pinging) oc-
curs, use a gasoline of a differentbrand. Use of unleaded fuel will extend
spark plug life and reduce maintenance
costs.
EAU13445
Catalytic converters This vehicle is equipped with catalytic
converters in the exhaust system.
WARNING
EWA10862
The exhaust system is hot after op-
eration. To prevent a fire hazard or
burns:●
Do not park the vehicle near
possible fire hazards such as
grass or other materials that
easily burn.
●
Park the vehicle in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch the hot
exhaust system.
●
Make sure that the exhaust sys-
tem has cooled down before do-
ing any maintenance work.
●
Do not allow the engine to idle
more than a few minutes. Long
idling can cause a build-up of
heat.
Recommended fuel:
Premium unleaded gasoline only
Fuel tank capacity:
11.8 L (3.12 US gal, 2.60 Imp.gal)
Fuel reserve amount (when the fuel
level warning indicator flashes):
