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 fuel level warning
indicator “ ” flash eight times, then go
off for approximately 3 seconds. If this
occurs, have a Yamaha dealer check
the electrical circuit.Eco indicator This indicator comes on when the vehi-
cle is being operated in an environ-
mentally friendly, fuel-efficient manner.
The indicator goes off when the vehicle
is stopped.
TIPConsider the following tips to reduce
fuel consumption:
 Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
 Travel at a constant speed.
 Select the transmission gear that
is appropriate for the vehicle
speed.Transmission gear display This display shows the selected gear.
The neutral position is indicated by “–”
and by the neutral indicator light.
Multi-function
display
The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:  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 left segment of the fuel meter
started flashing)
 an instantaneous fuel consump-
tion display

an average fuel consumption dis-
play
 a coolant temperature display
 an ambient temperature display
 an error code display
 a brightness control display
Push the left set button to switch the
display between the odometer mode
“ODO”, tripmeter modes “TRIP 1” and
“TRIP 2”, instantaneous fuel consump-
tion mode “km/L” or “L/100 km”, aver-
age fuel consumption mode “AVE_ _._
km/L” or “AVE_ _._ L/100 km”, coolant
temperature mode “_ _ °C”, and ambi-
ent temperature mode “Air_ _ °C” in
the following order:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → km/L or
L/100 km → AVE_ _._ km/L or AVE_ _._
L/100 km → _ _ °C → Air_ _ °C → ODO
For the UK only:
Push the left set button to switch the
display between the odometer mode
“ODO”, tripmeter modes “TRIP 1” and
“TRIP 2”, instantaneous fuel consump-
tion mode “km/L”, “L/100 km” or
“MPG”, average fuel consumption
mode “AVE_ _._ km/L”, “AVE_ _._ L/100 km” or “AVE_ _._ MPG”, coolant
temperature mode “_ _ °C”, and ambi-
ent temperature mode “Air_ _ °C” in
the following order:
ODO
→ TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → km/L,
L/100 km or MPG → AVE_ _._ km/L,
AVE_ _._ L/100 km or AVE_ _._ MPG →
_ _ °C → Air_ _ °C → ODO
TIP Push the right set button to switch
the display in the reverse order.
 The fuel reserve tripmeter and
self-diagnosis modes come on
automatically, while the bright-
ness control mode is accessed
separately.If the fuel level warning indicator “ ”
and left segment of the fuel meter start
flashing, the display automatically
changes to the fuel reserve tripmeter
mode “TRIP F” and starts counting the
distance traveled from that point. In
that case, push the left set button to
switch the display between the various
tripmeter, odometer, instantaneous fuel consumption and average fuel
consumption modes in the following
order:
TRIP F
→ km/L or L/100 km → AVE_
_._ km/L or AVE_ _._ L/100 km → _ _
°C → Air_ _ °C → ODO → TRIP 1 →
TRIP 2 → TRIP F
For the UK only:
TRIP F → km/L, L/100 km or MPG →
AVE_ _._ km/L, AVE_ _._ L/100 km or
AVE_ _._ MPG → _ _ °C → Air_ _ °C →
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → TRIP F
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the left set button, and then push
the right set button for at least one sec-
ond.
If you do not reset the fuel reserve trip-
meter manually, it resets itself auto-
matically and the display returns to the
prior mode after refueling and traveling
5 km (3 mi).

Instantaneous fuel consumption
mo
de
The instantaneous fuel consumption
display can be set to either “km/L”,
“L/100 km” or “MPG” (for the UK only).  “km/L”: The distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 L of fuel under the
current riding conditions is shown.
 “L/100 km”: The amount of fuel
necessary to travel 100 km under
the current riding conditions is
shown.
 “MPG” (for the UK only): The dis-
tance that can be traveled on
1.0 Imp.gal of fuel under the cur-
rent riding conditions is shown. To switch between the instantaneous
fuel consumption display settings,
push the left set button for one second.
TIPIf traveling at speeds under 20 km/h
(12 mi/h), “_ _._” is displayed.Avera
ge fuel consumption mo de
This display shows the average fuel
consumption since it was last reset.
The average fuel consumption display
can be set to either “AVE_ _._ km/L”,
“AVE_ _._ L/100 km” or “AVE_ _._
MPG” (for the UK only).  “AVE_ _._ km/L”: The average dis-
tance that can be traveled on 1.0 L
of fuel is shown. 
“AVE_ _._ L/100 km”: The average
amount of fuel necessary to travel
100 km is shown.
 “AVE_ _._ MPG” (for the UK only):
The average distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel is
shown.
To switch between the average fuel
consumption display settings, push
the left set button for one second.
To reset the average fuel consumption,
push the right set button for at least
one second.
TIPAfter resetting the average fuel con-
sumption, “_ _._” will be shown until
the vehicle has traveled 1 km (0.6 mi).

OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS

EAU58280
Recommended shift points
The recommended shift points during
acceleration and deceleration are
shown in the table below.
EAU16811
Tips for re ducin g fuel con-
sumptionFuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follow-
ing tips to reduce fuel consumption:
 Shift up swiftly, and avoid high en-
gine speeds during acceleration.
 Do not rev the engine while shift-
ing down, and avoid high engine
speeds with no load on the en-
gine.
 Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length
of time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traf-
fic lights or at railroad crossings).
EAU16842
Engine break-inThere is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1600 km (1000 mi). For
this reason, you should read the fol-
lowing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
tle operation or any condition that
might result in engine overheating
must be avoided.
EAU17094
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 5000
r/min. NOTICE: After 1000 km (600
mi) of operation, the en gine oil must
b e chan ged an d the oil filter car-
tri dge or element replace d.
[ECA10303]
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 6000
r/min.
Shift up points:
1st → 2nd: 20 km/h (12 mi/h)
2nd → 3rd: 30 km/h (19 mi/h)
3rd → 4th: 40 km/h (25 mi/h)
4th → 5th: 50 km/h (31 mi/h)
5th → 6th: 60 km/h (37 mi/h)
Shift down points:
6th → 5th: 45 km/h (28 mi/h)
5th → 4th: 35 km/h (22 mi/h)
4th → 3rd: 25 km/h (16 mi/h)
