The ABS may not work correctly. If any
of the above occurs, have a Yamaha
dealer check the system as soon as
possible. (See page 3-14 for an expla-
nation of the ABS.)

The speedometer shows the vehicle’s
traveling speed.
Tachometer
The tachometer allows the rider to
monitor the engine speed and keep it
within the ideal power range.
When the key is turned to “ ”, the ta-
chometer will sweep across the r/min
range and then return to zero r/min in
order to test the electrical circuit.
NOTICE

Do not operate the en gine in the ta-
chometer red zone. Re
d zone: 12500 r/min an d a bove
Clock
The clock is displayed when the key is
turned to “ ”.
To set the clock1. Turn the key to “ ”.
2. Push the “SEL” button and “RES”
button together for at least two
seconds.
3. When the hour digits start flash- ing, push the “RES” button to set
the hours.
4. Push the “SEL” button, and the minute digits will start flashing.
5. Push the “RES” button to set the minutes. 6. Push the “SEL” button and then

Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank.
When the key is turned to “ ”, the dis-
play segments of the fuel meter will
sweep once across the fuel level range
and then return to the current amount
in order to test the electrical circuit.
The display segments of the fuel meter
disappear towards “E” (Empty) as the

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 flash eight times, then go off for
approximately three seconds. If this
occurs, have a Yamaha dealer check
the electrical circuit.Coolant temperature meter
The coolant temperature meter indi-
cates the temperature of the coolant.
When the key is turned to “ ”, the dis-
play segments of the digital coolant
temperature meter will sweep onceacross the temperature range and then
return to “C” in order to test the electri-
cal circuit.
If the last segment on the right flashes,
stop the vehicle, then stop the engine,
and let the engine cool. (See page
6-38.)

 two tripmeters
 a fuel reserve tripmeter
 an instantaneous fuel consump-
tion display
 an average fuel consumption dis-
play
 an oil change tripmeter
 an oil change indicator
Except for the UK:
Push the “SEL” button to switch the
display between the odometer mode
“ODO”, tripmeter modes “TRIP 1” and
“TRIP 2”, instantaneous fuel consump-
tion mode “L/100 km” or “km/L”, aver-
age fuel consumption mode “AVE_ _._
L/100 km” or “AVE_ _._ km/L” and oil
change tripmeter mode “OIL TRIP” in
the following order:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → L/100 km
or km/L → AVE_ _._ L/100 km or AVE_
_._ km/L → OIL TRIP → ODO If the left segment of the fuel meter
starts flashing, the display automati-
cally changes to the fuel reserve trip-
meter mode “TRIP F” and starts
counting the distance traveled from
that point. In that case, push the “SEL”
button to switch the display between
the various tripmeter, odometer, in-
stantaneous fuel consumption and av-
erage fuel consumption modes in the
following order:
TRIP F
→ L/100 km or km/L → AVE_

To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SEL” button, and then push
the “RES” 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). For the UK only:
Push the “SEL” button to switch the
display between the odometer mode
“ODO”, tripmeter modes “TRIP 1” and
“TRIP 2”, instantaneous fuel consump-
tion mode “MPG”, “L/100 km” or
“km/L”, average fuel consumption
mode “AVE_ _._ MPG”, “AVE_ _._

Instantaneous fuel consumption
d isplay The instantaneous fuel consumption
display can be set to either “L/100 km”,
“km/L” or “MPG” (for the UK only).
 “L/100 km”: The amount of fuel
necessary to travel 100 km under
the current riding conditions is
shown.
 “km/L”: The distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 L of fuel 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 current
riding conditions is shown.
To switch between the instantaneous
fuel consumption displays, push the
“SEL” button for one second.
TIPIf traveling at speeds under 20 km/h
(12 mi/h), “_ _._” is displayed.
Avera ge fuel consumption display
The average fuel consumption display
can be set to either “AVE_ _._ L/100
km”, “AVE_ _._ km/L” or “AVE_ _._
MPG” (for the UK only).
This display shows the average fuel
consumption since it was last reset.  “AVE_ _._ L/100 km”: The average
amount of fuel necessary to travel
100 km is shown.
 “AVE_ _._ km/L”: The average dis-
tance that can be traveled on 1.0 L
of fuel 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 reset the average fuel consumption
display, push the “RES” button for at
least one second.
TIPAfter resetting the average fuel con-
sumption display, “_ _._” is shown until
the vehicle has traveled 1 km (0.6 mi).Oil chan
ge tripmeter
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
5000 km (3000 mi) and every 5000 km
(3000 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 “RES” button for one second.
Then, while “OIL” and the oil change
tripmeter are flashing, push the “RES”
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.
