good contrast and readability in various
lighting conditions. However, due to the
nature of this technology, it is normal
for a small number of pixels to be inac-tive.

display items can be set into four
groups via the MENU screen.
The information display items are:
A.TEMP: air temperature
C.TEMP: coolant temperature
TRIP-1: tripmeter 1
TRIP-2: tripmeter 2
F-TRIP: fuel tripmeter
ODO: odometer
FUEL CON: the amount of fuel con-
sumed
FUEL AVG: average fuel consumption
CRNT FUEL: current fuel consumption
TIP
F-TRIP appears automatically
when the fuel tank reserve level
has been reached and begins re-
cording distance travelled from
that point.

After refueling and travelling some
distance, F-TRIP will automatically
disappear.

In TRACK MODE, information dis-
play items FASTEST (fastest lap
time) and AVERAGE (average laptime) are also available.
TRIP-1, TRIP-2, F-TRIP, FUEL CON,
and FUEL AVE items can be individual- ly reset.
To reset information display items
1. Use the wheel switch to scroll
through the display items until the
item you want to reset appears.
2. Short push the wheel switch and the item will flash for five seconds.
(For STREET MODE, if both items
are resettable items, the top item
will flash first. Scroll down to select
the bottom item.)
3. While the item is flashing, press and hold the wheel switch for one
second.
Transmission gear display
This shows which gear the transmis-
sion is in. This model has 6 gears and a
neutral position. The neutral position is
indicated by the neutral indicator light
“ ” and by the transmission gear dis-
play “ ”.
Front brake pressure indicator
This shows how much braking power is
being applied to the front brakes. Acceleration indicator
This shows the vehicle’s forward accel-
eration and deceleration forces.
Revolution peak hold indicator
This small bar momentarily appears
within the tachometer to mark the most
recent peak r/min speed of the engine.
YRC items MODE/PWR/TCS/SCS
The current MODE (YRC mode) and its
related PWR, TCS and SCS settings
are shown here.
The individual settings for YRC items
PWR, TCS, SCS, LCS, QSS and LIF
can be organized into four groups and
set independently for each group.
These groups of settings are the YRC
modes MODE-A, MODE-B, MODE-C,
and MODE-D. Use the mode switch to
change YRC modes or make YRC item
setting changes from the main screen.
TIPThe YRC modes come preset from the
factory for different riding conditions.
When using the factory presets, the
suggested YRC modes are as follows.
MODE-A is suitable for track rid-

engine has been started.
NOTICE
ECA21210
If the warning light comes on when
the engine is running, stop the en-
gine immediately and check oil level.
If the oil level is below the minimum
level, add sufficient oil of the recom-
mended type to raise it up to the cor-
rect level. If the oil pressure warning
light remains on even if the oil level
is correct, immediately turn the en-
gine off and have a Yamaha dealercheck the vehicle.

This icon comes on if the coolant tem-
perature reaches 117
C (242 F) or
higher. Stop the vehicle and turn off the
engine. Allow the engine to cool.NOTICE
