odometer display will automatically
change to the fuel reserve tripmeter
mode “F-TRIP” and start counting the
distance traveled from that point. In
that case, push the “SELECT” button
to switch the display between the vari-
ous tripmeter and odometer modes in
the following order:
F-TRIP
→ TRIP A → TRIP B → ODO →
F-TRIP
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button, and then
push the “RESET” button for at least
one second. If you do not reset the fuel
reserve tripmeter manually, it will reset
itself automatically and the display will
return to the prior mode after refueling
and traveling 5 km (3 mi). Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel meter disappear to-
wards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When the last segment on
the left starts flashing, refuel as soon as
possible.
TIPThis fuel meter is equipped with a self-
diagnosis system. If a problem is de-
tected in the electrical circuit, the fol-
lowing cycle is repeated until the
malfunction is corrected: fuel level seg-
ments and symbol “ ” flash eight times, then go off for approximately 3
seconds. If this occurs, have a Yamaha
dealer check the electrical circuit.

Valve clearanceThe 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.

TiresTires 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
EWA10504
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 a djuste d on col d
tires (i.e., when the temperature
of the tires equals the am bient
temperature).
The tire air pressure must be
a d juste d in accor dance with the
