3 Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the “RESET/SELECT“ button
switches the display between the
odometer mode “ODO” and the trip-
meter “TRIP” in the following order:
ODO → TRIP → ODO
If the fuel level warning indicator
comes on (see page 3-2), the odome-
ter display will automatically change to
the fuel reserve tripmeter mode “TRIP
F” and start counting the distance trav-
eled from that point. In that case, push-
ing the “RESET/SELECT“ button
switches the display between the vari-
ous tripmeter and odometer modes in
the following order:
TRIP F → ODO → TRIP → TRIP FTo reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “RESET/SELECT” button, and
then push it again for at least three sec-
onds. If you do not reset the fuel re-
serve tripmeter manually, it will reset
itself automatically and the display will
return to the prior mode after refueling
and traveling 5 km (3 mi).
TIPThe display cannot be changed back

SET/SELECTŽ button.
Oil change indicator “OIL CHANGE”
This indicator comes on at the initial
1000 km (600 mi), then at 3000 km
(1800 mi) and every 3000 km (1800 mi)
thereafter to indicate that the engine oil
should be changed. (See page 6-9)
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel gauge disappear to-
wards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When only two segments
are left near “E”, the fuel level warning
indicator comes on. Refuel as soon as
possible.

This model is equipped with a self-di-
agnosis device for the fuel electrical
circuit.
If a problem is detected in the fuel elec-
trical circuit, all LCD segments of the
fuel gauge and the fuel level warning
indicator will flash alternately. If this oc-
curs, have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle.

Fuel tank capTo remove the fuel tank cap
1. Open the passenger seat. (See
page 3-11.)
2. Turn the fuel tank cap counter-
clockwise and pull it off.
To install the fuel tank cap
1. Insert the fuel tank cap into the
tank opening and turn it clock-
wise.
2. Close the passenger seat.
WARNING
EWA11092
Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly closed after filling fuel.
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard.
EAU13222
FuelMake sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
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.
