“TRIP-1” and “TRIP-2” show the dis-
tance traveled since they were last set
to zero.
When approximately 5.5 L (1.45 US
gal, 1.21 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the last segment of the fuel
meter starts flashing. In addition, the
information display will automatically
change to the fuel reserve tripmeter
mode “TRIP-F” and start counting the
distance traveled from that point.
In that case, pushing the select switch
switches the display between the vari-
ous information displays in the follow-
ing order; TRIP-F
→ Display–1 → Display–2 →
Display–3 → TRIP-F
To reset a tripmeter, use the select
switch to select the information display
that contains the tripmeter. Push the
“RESET” button briefly so that the trip-
meter flashes, and then push the “RE-
SET” button again for at least 2
seconds while the tripmeter is flashing.
If you do not reset the fuel reserve trip-
meter manually, it will reset itself auto-
matically and the display will return to
the prior mode after refueling and trav-
eling 5 km (3 mi).
Estimated traveling range display:
The distance that can be traveled with
the remaining fuel in the fuel tank under
the current riding conditions is shown. Elapsed time display:
The time that has elapsed since the
key was turned to “ON” is shown. The
maximum time that can be shown is
99:59.
This display is automatically reset
when the key is turned to “OFF”.TIPThere are also “TIME–2” and “TIME–3”
elapsed time displays, but they cannot
be set to the information display. See
“Setting mode” on page 3-16 for de-
tailed information.Ambient temperature display:This display shows the ambient tem-
perature from –9 °C to 50 °C in 1 °C in-
crements. The temperature displayed
may vary from the ambient tempera-
ture.

NOTICE
ECA11401
Use only unlea ded g asoline. The use
of lead ed g asoline will cause severe
d amag e to internal en gine parts,
such as the valves an d piston rin gs,
as well as to the exhaust system.Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use regular unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
95 or higher. If knocking (or pinging)
occurs, use a gasoline of a different
brand or premium unleaded fuel. Use
of unleaded fuel will extend spark plug
life and reduce maintenance costs.
