3 The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:
 an odometer
 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
The odometer shows the total distance
traveled by the vehicle.
The tripmeters show the distance trav-
eled since they were last set to zero.
The fuel reserve tripmeter shows the
distance traveled since the fuel level
warning light came on.
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_
_._ L/100 km or AVE_ _._ km/L → OIL
TRIP → ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 →
TRIP F
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_ _._
L/100 km” or “AVE_ _._ km/L” and oil
change tripmeter mode “OIL TRIP” in
the following order:
ODO
→ TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → MPG,
L/100 km or km/L → AVE_ _._ MPG,
AVE_ _._ L/100 km or AVE_ _._ km/L →
OIL TRIP → ODO

starts flashing, the display automati-
cally changes to the fuel reserve trip-
meter mode “TRIP F” and starts

ABSThe Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con-
trol system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently.
Operate the brakes with ABS as you
would conventional brakes. If the ABS
is activated, a pulsating sensation may
be felt at the brake lever or brake ped-
al. In this situation, continue to apply
the brakes and let the ABS work; do
not “pump” the brakes as this will re-
duce braking effectiveness.
WARNING
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient d istance
from the vehicle ahea d to match the
ri din g speed even with ABS.
 The ABS performs best with
lon g b rakin g d istances.
 On certain surfaces, such as
rou gh or g ravel roa ds, the b rak-
in g d istance may be lon ger with
the ABS than without.The ABS is monitored by an ECU,
which will revert the system to conven-
tional braking if a malfunction occurs.
TIP The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test each time the vehicle first
starts off after the key is turned to
“ON” and the vehicle has traveled
at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or
higher. During this test, a “click-
ing” noise can be heard from the
hydraulic control unit, and if the
brake lever or brake pedal is even
slightly applied, a vibration can be
felt at the lever and pedal, but
these do not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
 This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience
the pulsation at the brake lever or
brake pedal when the ABS is op-
erating. However, special tools are
required, so please consult your
Yamaha dealer.NOTICE
ECA20100
Be careful not to d amage the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of the
ABS will result.

Fuel tank capTo open the fuel tank cap
Open the fuel tank cap lock cover, in-
sert the key into the lock, and then turn
it 1/4 turn clockwise. The lock will be
released and the fuel tank cap can be
opened.
To close the fuel tank cap
1. Push the fuel tank cap into posi- tion with the key inserted in the
lock.
2. Turn the key counterclockwise to the original position, remove it,
and then close the lock cover.
TIPThe fuel tank cap cannot be closed un-
less the key is in the lock. In addition,
the key cannot be removed if the cap is
not properly closed and locked.
WARNING
EWA11092
Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly close d after fillin g fuel.
Leakin g fuel is a fire hazar d.
EAU13222
FuelMake sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
Gasoline an d g asoline vapors are
extremely flamma ble. To avoi d fires
an d explosions an d to re duce the
risk of injury when refuelin g, follow
these instructions.1. Before refueling, turn off the en- gine and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters
and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler
hole. Stop filling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the filler
tube. Because fuel expands when
it heats up, heat from the engine or
the sun can cause fuel to spill out
of the fuel tank.

4. Be sure to securely close the fuel tank cap.
WARNING
EWA15152
Gasoline is poisonous an d can
cause injury or d eath. Handle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gasoline
b y mouth. If you shoul d swallow
some gasoline or inhale a lot of gas-
oline vapor, or get some g asoline in
your eyes, see your doctor imme di- ately. If g
asoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap an d water. If gaso-
line spills on your clothin g, chan ge
your clothes.
EAU49743
NOTICE
ECA11401
Use only unlea ded g asoline. The use
of lead ed g asoline will cause severe
d amag e to internal en gine parts,
such as the valves an d piston rin gs,
as well as to the exhaust system.Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use regular unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
95 or higher. If knocking (or pinging)
occurs, use a gasoline of a different brand or premium unleaded fuel. Use
of unleaded fuel will extend spark plug
life and reduce maintenance costs.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gaso-
hol containing ethanol and that con-
taining methanol. Gasohol containing
ethanol can be used if the ethanol con-
tent does not exceed 10% (E10). Gas-
ohol containing methanol is not
recommended by Yamaha because it
can cause damage to the fuel system
or vehicle performance problems.

Catalytic converterThis model is equipped with a catalytic
converter in the exhaust system.
WARNING
EWA10863
The exhaust system is hot after op-
eration. To prevent a fire hazar d or
b urns:
 Do not park the vehicle near
possi ble fire hazard s such as
g rass or other materials that
easily burn.
 Park the vehicle in a place
where ped estrians or chil dren
are not likely to touch the hot
exhaust system.
 Make sure that the exhaust sys-
tem has coole d down before
d oin g any maintenance work.
 Do not allow the en gine to i dle
more than a few minutes. Lon g
i d lin g can cause a b uild-up of
heat.
NOTICE
