3 Tachometer
The electric tachometer allows the rid-
er to monitor the engine speed and
keep it within the ideal power range.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the ta-
chometer needle sweeps across the
r/min range and then returns to zero
r/min in order to test the electrical cir-
cuit.
NOTICE
ECA10032
Do not operate the en
gine in the ta-
chometer red zone.
Re d zone: 9000 r/min an d a bove
Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel meter disappear from “F” (full) towards “E” (empty) as the fuel
level decreases. When the last seg-
ment starts flashing, refuel as soon as
possible.
When the key is turned to “ON”, all dis-
play segments come on once in order
to test the electrical circuit.
TIP
If a problem is detected in the fuel me-
ter electrical circuit, the fuel meter dis-
play segments will flash repeatedly.
Have a Yamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle.
Eco in
dicator
This indicator comes on when the vehi-
cle is being operated in an environ-
mentally friendly, fuel-efficient manner.
The indicator goes off when the vehicle
is stopped.
TIP
Consider the following tips to reduce
fuel consumption:  Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
 Travel at a constant speed.
 Select the transmission gear that
is appropriate for the vehicle
speed.


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-

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
ECA10022
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.

Instantaneous fuel consumption dis-
play:
The instantaneous fuel consumption
display modes “km/L”, “L/100km” or
“MPG” show the fuel consumption un-
der the current riding conditions.
 The “km/L” display shows the dis-
tance that can be traveled on 1.0 L
of fuel.
 The “L/100km” display shows the
amount of fuel necessary to travel
100 km.
 The “MPG” display shows the dis-
tance that can be traveled on
1.0 Imp.gal of fuel.
TIP
If traveling at speeds under 10 km/h (6
mi/h), “_ _._” will be displayed.

when the vehicle or en gine
speed is too hi gh coul d make
the rear wheel lose traction or

Tips for re ducin g fuel con-
sumption
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follow-
ing tips to reduce fuel consumption:
 Shift up swiftly, and avoid high en-
gine speeds during acceleration.
 Do not rev the engine while shift-
ing down, and avoid high engine
speeds with no load on the en-
gine.
 Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length
of time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traf-
fic lights or at railroad crossings).
Shift up points:
1st → 2nd: 20 km/h (12 mph)
2nd → 3rd: 30 km/h (19 mph)
3rd → 4th: 40 km/h (25 mph)
4th → 5th: 50 km/h (31 mph)
5th → 6th: 60 km/h (37 mph)
Shift down points:
6th → 5th: 45 km/h (28 mph)
5th → 4th: 35 km/h (22 mph)
4th → 3rd: 25 km/h (16 mph)
