L/100 km: The number of seg-
ments displayed decreases the
more efficiently the vehicle is be-
ing operated.
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 last segment of the fuel meter
started flashing)
 an instantaneous fuel consump-
tion display 
an average fuel consumption dis-
play
 an oil change tripmeter
 a V-belt replacement tripmeter
 an oil change indicator
 a V-belt replacement indicator
 an error code display
Except for the UK:
Push the “SELECT” button to switch
the display between the odometer
mode “ODO”, tripmeter modes “TRIP
1” and “TRIP 2”, oil change tripmeter
mode “OIL TRIP”, V-belt replacement
tripmeter mode “V-BELT TRIP”, in-
stantaneous fuel consumption mode
“F/ECO” (km/L or L/100 km), and aver-
age fuel consumption mode “AVE
F/ECO” (km/L or L/100 km) in the fol-
lowing order:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → OIL TRIP
→ V-BELT TRIP → F/ECO → AVE
F/ECO → ODO
For the UK:Push the “SELECT” button to switch
the display between the odometer
mode “ODO”, tripmeter modes “TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2”, oil change tripmeter
mode “OIL TRIP”, V-belt replacement
tripmeter mode “V-BELT TRIP”, in-
stantaneous fuel consumption mode
“F/ECO” (MPG or L/100 km), and aver-
age fuel consumption mode “AVE
F/ECO” (MPG or L/100 km) in the fol-
lowing order:
ODO
→ TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → OIL TRIP
→ V-BELT TRIP → F/ECO → AVE
F/ECO → ODO
If the fuel level warning indicator “ ”
and last 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 “SELECT” button
to switch the display between the vari-
ous tripmeter, odometer, oil change
tripmeter, V-belt replacement tripme-
ter, instantaneous fuel consumption
and average fuel consumption modes
in the following order:

To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button, and then
push the “RESET” button for at least
one second.
TIP If you do not reset the fuel reserve
tripmeter manually, it resets itself
automatically and the display re-
turns to the prior mode after refu-
eling and traveling 5 km (3 mi).
 If you do not reset tripmeters 1
and 2, they will reset to 0 and con-
tinue counting after 9999.9 has
been reached.
 The odometer will lock at 999999
and cannot be reset.
Instantaneous fuel consumption
mo de
The instantaneous fuel consumption
display can be set to either “km/L” or
“L/100 km”, and either “MPG” or
“L/100 km” (for the UK).  “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”: The distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 lmp. gal of the fuel
under the current riding conditions
is shown. To switch between the instantaneous
fuel consumption display settings,
push the “SELECT” button for one sec-
ond.
TIP
If traveling at speeds under 10
km/h (6 mi/h), “_ _._” is displayed.
 When MPG is selected, no units
indicator will be 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 “km/L” or “L/100
km”, and either “MPG” or “L/100 km”
(for the UK).

“km/L”: The average distance that
can be traveled on 1.0 L of fuel is
shown.
 “L/100 km”: The average amount
of fuel necessary to travel 100 km
is shown.
 “MPG”: The average distance that
can be traveled on 1.0 lmp. gal of
fuel under the current riding condi-
tions is shown.
To switch between the average fuel
consumption display settings, push
the “SELECT” button for one second.
To reset the average fuel consumption,
push the “RESET” button for at least
one second.
TIP After resetting the average fuel
consumption, “_ _._” will be
shown until the vehicle has trav-
eled 0.1 km (0.06 mi).
 When MPG is selected, no units
indicator will be displayed.
Oil chan ge tripmeter mo de
The oil change tripmeter shows the
distance traveled since it was last reset
(i.e., since the last oil change).
The oil change indicator “OIL” will flash
at the initial 1000 km (600 mi), then at
6000 km (3500 mi) and every 6000 km
(3500 mi) thereafter to indicate that the
engine oil should be changed.
After changing the engine oil, reset the
oil change tripmeter and the oil change
indicator. To reset them both, select
the oil change tripmeter, and then push
the “RESET” button for one second.
Then, while “OIL” and the oil change tripmeter are flashing, push the “RE-
SET” button for three seconds. The oil
change indicator will be reset.
If the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator comes on (i.e., be-
fore the periodic oil change interval has
been reached), the oil change tripmeter
must be reset for the next periodic oil
change to be indicated at the correct
time.
V-
belt replacement tripmeter mod e
The V-belt replacement tripmeter
shows the distance traveled since it
was last reset (i.e., since the last V-belt
replacement).1. Oil change indicator “OIL”

The V-belt replacement indicator “V-
BELT” will flash at every 18000 km
(10500 mi) thereafter to indicate that
the V-belt should be replaced.
After replacing the V-belt, reset the V-
belt replacement tripmeter and the V-
belt replacement indicator. To reset
them both, select the V-belt replace-
ment tripmeter, and then push the
“RESET” button for one second. Then,
while “V-BELT” and the V-belt replace-
ment tripmeter are flashing, push the
“RESET” button for three seconds. The
V-belt replacement indicator will be re-
set.
If the V-belt is replaced before the V-
belt replacement indicator comes on
(i.e., before the periodic V-belt replace-
ment interval has been reached), the V-
belt replacement tripmeter must be re-
set for the next periodic V-belt replace-
ment to be indicated at the correct
time. Self-d
iagnosis mo de
This model is equipped with a self-di-
agnosis device for various electrical
circuits.
If a problem is detected in any of those
circuits, the engine trouble warning
light will come on and the display will
indicate an error code.
If the display indicates any error codes,
note the code number, and then have
a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
