INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS

3two tripmeters (which shows the
distance traveled since last set to
zero)
a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled since
the fuel level warning light came
on)
Pushing the “SELECT” button switch-
es the display between the odometer
mode and the various tripmeter modes
in the following order:
ODO (odometer) → TRIP 1 (tripmeter)
→ TRIP 2 (tripmeter) → ODO (odome-
ter)
When approximately 3.0 L (0.79 US
gal, 0.66 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the display will automaticallychange to the fuel reserve tripmeter
mode “F TRIP” and start counting the
distance traveled from that point. In
that case, pushing the “SELECT” but-
ton switches the display between the
various tripmeter and odometer modes
in the following order:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → F TRIP (fu-
el reserve tripmeter) → ODO
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button until “TRIP 1,
TRIP 2, F TRIP” is displayed. While
“TRIP 1, TRIP 2, F TRIP” is displayed,
push the “RESET” button for two sec-
onds. The fuel reserve tripmeter will re-
set automatically and disappear after
you have refueled and turned the key
to “OFF”.Multi-function display
The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:
a fuel consumption display (aver-
age and instantaneous consump-
tion functions)
an average speed display (which
shows the average speed since
last set to zero)
a time tripmeter (which shows the
elapsed riding time since last set
to zero)
 an oil change indicator with an oil
service reminder (which shows the
riding distance since last set to ze-
ro)
a low battery voltage warning indi-
cator

NOTICE
ECA11834
If a warning or indicator light does
not come on initially when the key is
turned to “ON”, or if a warning or in-
dicator light remains on, see page
3-2 for the corresponding warning
and indicator light circuit check.
For ABS models:The ABS warning light should
come on when the key is turned to
“ON”, and then go off after travel-
ing at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h)
or higher.
NOTICE
ECA17682
If the ABS warning light does not
come on and then go off as ex-
plained above, see page 3-2 for the
warning light circuit check.2. Shift the transmission into the
neutral position. The neutral indi-
cator light should come on. If not,
ask a Yamaha dealer to check the
electrical circuit.
3. Start the engine by pushing the
start switch.If the engine fails to start, release
the start switch, wait a few sec-
onds, and then try again. Each
starting attempt should be as
short as possible to preserve the
battery. Do not crank the engine
more than 10 seconds on any one
attempt.
NOTICE

For maximum engine life, never ac-
celerate hard when the engine is
cold!

amount of engine power available for
starting off, accelerating, climbing hills,
etc.
The gear positions are shown in the il-
lustration.TIPTo shift the transmission into the neu-
tral position, press the shift pedal down
repeatedly until it reaches the end of its

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
6-32
6Batteries produce explosive hy-
drogen gas. Therefore, keep
sparks, flames, cigarettes, etc.,
away from the battery and pro-
vide sufficient ventilation when
charging it in an enclosed
space.
Take care not to spill electrolyte
on the drive chain, as this may
weaken it, shorten chain life and
possibly result in an accident.
KEEP THIS AND ALL BATTER-
IES OUT OF THE REACH OF
CHILDREN.
To check the electrolyte level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.TIPMake sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking the
electrolyte level.2. Check the electrolyte level in the
battery.
TIPThe electrolyte should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.3. If the electrolyte is at or below the
minimum level mark, add distilled
water to raise it to the maximum
level mark. NOTICE: Use only
distilled water, as tap water
contains minerals that are
harmful to the battery.
[ECA10612]
4. Check and, if necessary, tighten
the battery lead connections and
correct the breather hose routing.To store the battery
1. If the motorcycle will not be used
for more than one month, remove
the battery, fully charge it, and
then place it in a cool, dry place.
NOTICE: When removing the
battery, be sure the key is
turned to “OFF”, then discon-
nect the negative lead before
disconnecting the positive lead.
[ECA16303]
2. If the battery will be stored for
more than two months, check the
specific gravity of the electrolyte
at least once a month and fully
charge the battery whenever nec-
essary.
3. Fully charge the battery before in-
stallation. NOTICE: When install-
ing the battery, be sure the key
is turned to “OFF”, then connect
the positive lead before con-
necting the negative lead.
[ECA16841]
4. After installation, make sure that
the battery leads are properly con-
nected to the battery terminals
and that the breather hose is
properly routed, in good condi-
tion, and not obstructed. NOTICE:
