3 decreases. When the fuel level be-
comes low, the last segment will flash,
(“LOW FUEL” message will also ap-
pear) and the fuel level warning
light “ ” will come on. Refuel as soon
as possible.
TIPThis fuel meter is equipped with a self-
diagnosis system. If a problem is de-
tected in the fuel meter electrical cir-
cuit, the display segments of the fuel
meter will flash eight times, and then
go off for 3 seconds repeatedly. If this
occurs, have a Yamaha dealer check
the electrical circuit.
Coolant temperature meter
With the key in the “ON” position, the
coolant temperature meter indicates
the temperature of the coolant. The
coolant temperature varies with
changes in the weather and engine
load. When the coolant temperature is
near the maximum limit, the second
segment from the top will flash. If the 2
top segments and “ ” start flashing
(“HIGH TEMP” message will also ap-
pear), stop the vehicle and let the en-
gine cool.
NOTICE
ECA10022
Do not continue to operate the en-
gine if it is overheating.TIPFor radiator-fan-equipped vehi-
cles, the radiator fan(s) automati-
cally switch on or off according to
the coolant temperature in the ra-
diator.
If the engine overheats, see page
6-42 for further instruction.Odometer and tripmeter display

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)

reminder which shows the riding dis-
tance since last reset) will also be reset.
TIPIf the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator comes on (i.e. be-
fore the set oil service interval has been
reached), the indicator must be reset
for the next oil change to be indicated
at the correct time. To reset the oil
change indicator before the periodic oil
change interval has been reached, fol-

EAU21402
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.
EAUM2405
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 adjusted on cold
tires (i.e., when the temperature
of the tires equals the ambient
temperature).
The tire air pressure must be
adjusted in accordance with the
riding speed and with the totalweight of rider, passenger, car-
go, and accessories approved
for this model.
WARNING
EWA10512
Never overload your vehicle. Opera-
tion of an overloaded vehicle could
cause an accident.Tire air pressure (measured on cold
tires):
0–90 kg (0–198 lb):
Front:
180 kPa (1.80 kgf/cm², 26 psi)
Rear:
