WARNING
EWA12423
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
making any setting changes to the
multi-function meter unit. Changing
settings while riding can distract the
operator and increase the risk of an
accident.
The multi-function meter unit is
equipped with the following:
a speedometer
a tachometer
a clock
a fuel meter
a coolant temperature display/air
temperature display
an eco indicator
a transmission gear display
a drive mode display
a TCS display
a multi-function display
TIP
Except when switching to the
brightness control mode, turn the
key to “ON” before using the
“CLOCK” and “RESET” buttons to
adjust the multi-function meter.
QS requires an accessory part and
cannot be selected.
For the UK: To switch the speed-
ometer and multi-function displays
between kilometers and miles,
push both the “CLOCK” button and“RESET” button at the same time. Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle’s
traveling speed.

indicator light control mode
This mode cycles through five control
functions, allowing you to make the fol-
lowing settings in the order listed be-
low.
Display brightness:
This function allows you to adjust
the brightness of the displays and
tachometer.
Shift timing indicator light activity
function:
This function allows you to set the
indicator light to on, flash, or off.
Shift timing indicator light activa-
tion:
This function allows you to select the engine speed at which the indi-
cator light will be activated.
Shift timing indica
tor light deactiva-
tion:
This function allows you to select
the engine speed at which the indi-
cator light will be deactivated.
Shift timing indicator light bright-
ness:
This function allows you to adjust
the brightness of the shift timing in-
dicator light.
TIPThe brightness level display shows thebrightness level setting.
To adjust the brightness of the displaysand tachometer1. Turn the key to “OFF”.
2. Push and hold the “CLOCK” but- ton.
3. Turn the key to “ON”, and then re- lease the “CLOCK” button after
five seconds.
4. Push the “RESET” button to select the desired brightness level.
5. Push the “CLOCK” button to con- firm the selected brightness level. The control mode changes to the
shift timing indicator light activity
function.
To set the shift timing indicator light ac-
tivity function1. Push the “RESET” button to select one of the following indicator light
activity settings:
On - the indicator light will come
on when activated. (This setting
is selected when the indicator
light stays on.)
Flash - the indicator light will

come on or flash. (This setting
is selected when the indicator
light flashes once every two
seconds.)

NOTICE
ECA10261
Even with the transmission in
the neutral position, do not
coast for long periods of time
with the engine off, and do not
tow the motorcycle for long dis-
tances. The transmission is
properly lubricated only when
the engine is running. Inade-
quate lubrication may damage
the transmission.
Always use the clutch while
changing gears to avoid damag-
ing the engine, transmission,
and drive train, which are not
designed to withstand theshock of forced shifting.
EAU16811
Tips for reducing fuel
consumptionFuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the following
tips to reduce fuel consumption:
Shift up swiftly, and avoid high en-
gine speeds during acceleration.
Do not rev the engine while shifting
down, and avoid high engine
speeds with no load on the engine.
Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length of
time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traffic
lights or at railroad crossings).
EAU16842
Engine break-inThere is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1600 km (1000 mi). For
this reason, you should read the follow-
ing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
tle operation or any condition that might
result in engine overheating must be
avoided.
EAU17085
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 5900
r/min. NOTICE: After 1000 km (600
mi) of operation, the engine oil must
be changed and the oil filter car-
tridge or element replaced.
[ECA10303]
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 7100

Valve clearanceThe valve clearance changes with use,
resulting in improper air-fuel mixture
and/or engine noise. To prevent this
from occurring, the valve clearance
must be adjusted by a Yamaha dealer
at the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
EAU64410
TiresTires are the only contact between the
vehicle and the road. Safety in all con-
ditions of riding depends on a relatively
small area of road contact. Therefore, it
is essential to maintain the tires in good
condition at all times and replace them
at the appropriate time with the speci-
fied tires.
Tire air pressure
The tire air pressure should be checked
and, if necessary, adjusted before each
ride.
WARNING
EWA10504
Operation of this vehicle with im-
proper tire pressure may cause se-
vere injury or death from loss of
control.
The tire air pressure must be
checked and adjusted on cold
tires (i.e., when the temperature
of the tires equals the ambient
temperature).
The tire air pressure must be ad-
justed in accordance with the
riding speed and with the total weight of rider, passenger, car-
go, and accessories approved
for this model.WARNING
EWA10512
Never overload your vehicle. Opera-
tion of an overloaded vehicle couldcause an accident.Tire air pressure (measured on cold
tires):
1 person:Front:250 kPa (2.50 kgf/cm
2, 36 psi)
Rear: 290 kPa (2.90 kgf/cm2, 42 psi)
2 persons:
Front:250 kPa (2.50 kgf/cm2, 36 psi)
Rear:
290 kPa (2.90 kgf/cm2, 42 psi)
Maximum load*: 170 kg (375 lb)
* Total weight of rider, passenger, car- go and accessories
