This vehicle is equipped with grip
warmers, which can only be used
when the engine is running. There are 4
grip warmer settings.
To increase the grip warmer tempera-
ture, push the “ ” side of the select
switch. To decrease the grip warmer
temperature, push the “ ” side of the
select switch.
NOTICE
ECA17931

Be sure to wear g loves when
usin g the g rip warmers.
 If the am bient temperature is 20
°C (68 °F) or hi gher, do not set
the grip warmer to the hi gh set-
tin g.
 If the han dle bar grip or throttle
g rip becomes worn or d am-
a g ed , stop usin g the grip warm-
ers an d replace the grips.
Selecting the information display
There are 3 information displays. The
selected information display can be
switched by pushing the select switch.
The following items are shown in the
information displays:
 an odometer display
 tripmeter displays
 a fuel reserve tripmeter display
 an estimated traveling range dis-
play
 an elapsed time display
 an ambient temperature display
 a coolant temperature display
 an average fuel consumption dis-
play
 an instantaneous fuel consump-
tion display
The items shown in each information
display can be selected.
To set or select the items shown, see

TIP
There are also “TIME–2” and “TIME–3”
elapsed time displays, but they cannot
be set to the information display. See
“Setting mode” on page 3-17 for de-
tailed information.
Ambient temperature display:
This display shows the ambient tem-
perature from –9 °C to 50 °C in 1 °C in-
crements. The temperature displayed
may vary from the ambient tempera-
ture.
TIP
 –9 °C will be displayed even if the
ambient temperature falls below
–9 °C.
 50 °C will be displayed even if the
ambient temperature climbs
above 50 °C.
 The accuracy of the temperature
reading may be affected when rid-
ing under 20 km/h (12 mi/h) or
when stopped at traffic signals
and railroad crossings.
Coolant temperature display:
The coolant temperature display indi-
cates the temperature of the coolant.
The coolant temperature varies with
changes in the weather and engine
load. If the message “Hi” flashes, stop the
vehicle, then stop the engine, and let
the engine cool. (See page 6-37.)
TIP
The selected information display can-
not be switched while the message
“Hi” is flashing.
NOTICE

Do not continue to operate the en-
g
ine if it is overheatin g.
Average fuel consumption display:
The average fuel consumption display
modes “km/L”, “L/100km” or “MPG”
show the average fuel consumption
since the display was last reset.
 The “km/L” display shows the av-
erage distance that can be trav-
eled on 1.0 L of fuel.
 The “L/100km” display shows the
average amount of fuel necessary
to travel 100 km.
 The “MPG” display shows the av-
erage distance that can be trav-
eled on 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel.

4. Install the final gear oil drain bolt
and its new gasket, and then tight-
en the bolt to the specified torque.
5. Refill with the recommended final gear oil to the brim of the filler
hole.
6. Check the oil filler bolt gasket for damage, and replace it if neces-
sary.
7. Install the oil filler bolt and its gas- ket, and then tighten the bolt to
the specified torque.
8. Check the final gear case for oil leakage. If oil is leaking, check for
the cause.
EAU20071
Coolant
The coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the cool-
ant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAU54163To check the coolant level1. Place the vehicle on the center- stand.
TIP
The coolant level must be
checked on a cold engine since
the level varies with engine tem-
perature.
 Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking
the coolant level. A slight tilt to the
side can result in a false reading.
2. Remove the left cowling vent pan-
el. (See page 3-41.)
3. Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir.
TIP
The coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.

minimum level mark, remove the
coolant reservoir cap. WARNING!
Remove only the coolant reser-
voir cap. Never attempt to re-
move the ra diator cap when the
en gine is hot.
[EWA15162]
5. Add coolant or distilled water to
raise the coolant to the maximum
level mark, and install the coolant
reservoir cap. NOTICE: If coolant
is not availa ble, use distille d wa-
ter or soft tap water instea d. Do
not use har d water or salt water
since it is harmful to the en gine.
If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with cool-
ant as soon as possi ble, other-
wise the coolin g system will not
b e protecte d a gainst frost an d
corrosion. If water has been
a dde d to the coolant, have a
Yamaha dealer check the anti-
freeze content of the coolant as
soon as possi ble, otherwise the
effectiveness of the coolant will
b e re duce d.
[ECA10473]
6. Install the panel.
EAU33032Chan gin g the coolant
The coolant must be changed at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart. Have a
Yamaha dealer change the coolant.
WARNING! Never attempt to remove the ra diator cap when the en gine is
hot.
