light “ ” will come on. Refuel as soon
as possible.
TIP
This fuel meter is equipped with a self-
diagnosis system. If a problem is de-
tected in the fuel meter electrical cir-
cuit, the display segments of the fuel
meter will flash eight times, and then
go off for 3 seconds repeatedly. If this
occurs, have a Yamaha dealer check
the electrical circuit.
Coolant temperature meter
With the key in the “ON” position, the
coolant temperature meter indicates
the temperature of the coolant. The
coolant temperature varies with
changes in the weather and engine
load. When the coolant temperature is
near the maximum limit, the second
segment from the top will flash. If the 2
top segments and “ ” start flashing
(“HIGH TEMP” message will also ap-
pear), stop the vehicle and let the en-
gine cool.
NOTICE
ECA10022
Do not continue to operate the en-
gine if it is overheating.
TIP
For radiator-fan-equipped vehi-
cles, the radiator fan(s) automati-
cally switch on or off according to
the coolant temperature in the ra-
diator.
If the engine overheats, see page
6-43 for further instruction.
Odometer and tripmeter display
The odometer and tripmeter display is
equipped with the following:
two tripmeters (which shows the
distance traveled since last set to
zero)
a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled since
the fuel level warning light came
on)
Pushing the “SELECT” button switch-
es the display between the odometer
mode and the various tripmeter modes

When approximately 3.0 L (0.79 US
gal, 0.66 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the display will automatically
change to the fuel reserve tripmeter
mode “F TRIP” and start counting the
distance traveled from that point. In
that case, pushing the “SELECT” but-
ton switches the display between the
various tripmeter and odometer modes
in the following order:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → F TRIP (fu-
el reserve tripmeter) → ODO
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button until “TRIP 1,
TRIP 2, F TRIP” is displayed. While
“TRIP 1, TRIP 2, F TRIP” is displayed,
push the “RESET” button for two sec-
onds. The fuel reserve tripmeter will re-
set automatically and disappear after
you have refueled and turned the key
to “OFF”.Multi-function display
The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:
a fuel consumption display (aver-
age and instantaneous consump-
tion functions)
an average speed display (which
shows the average speed since
last set to zero)
a time tripmeter (which shows the
elapsed riding time since last set
to zero)
 an oil change indicator with an oil
service reminder (which shows the
riding distance since last set to ze-
ro)
a low battery voltage warning indi-
cator
a warning message function
a self-diagnosis device
Push the “INFO” button to switch the
display between the average fuel con-
sumption mode “C Ave__._km/L” or “C

display (mode “ODO” should be se-
lected), select it by pushing the “INFO”
button, and then push the “RESET”
button for two seconds.TIP
After resetting the average fuel con-

the vehicle has traveled 1 km (0.6 mi).
Average speed display
The average speed display shows your
average traveling speed since it was
last reset. It can be set to either “AVE
SPEED_ _._ km/h”, “AVE SPEED __._
mph” (for the UK only, push the “INFO”
button to switch between these display
settings).
 “AVE SPEED_ _._ km/h”: Your av-
erage traveling speed in kilome-
ters per hour.
“AVE SPEED_ _._ mph” (for the
UK only): Your average traveling
speed in miles per hour.
To reset the average speed display
(mode “ODO” should be selected), se-
lect it by pushing the “INFO” button,

play will also reset automatically 4
hours after the key was last turned to
“OFF”.
Time tripmeter
The time tripmeter displays “_h _min”
(hours and minutes) the time that has
elapsed since the key was turned to
“ON” since the time tripmeter was last
reset.
To reset the time tripmeter display
(mode “ODO” should be selected), se-
lect it by pushing the “INFO” button,
and then push the “RESET” button for

After changing the engine oil, reset the
oil change indicator.
To reset the oil change indicator dis-
play (mode “ODO” should be select-

seconds until “OIL SERV” message
flashes and then push and hold the
“RESET” button for at least 15 sec-
onds. “DIST SERV” mode (oil service
reminder which shows the riding dis-
tance since last reset) will also be reset.
TIP
If the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator comes on (i.e. be-
fore the set oil service interval has been
reached), the indicator must be reset
for the next oil change to be indicated
at the correct time. To reset the oil
change indicator before the periodic oil
change interval has been reached, fol-

tery voltage is under 10 volts.
TIP
If the low battery indicator comes on
have a Yamaha dealer check the bat-
tery.
Warning message function
The warning message function works
in conjunction with fuel meter, coolant
temperature meter, oil change indica-
tor, and low battery indicator by dis-
playing a corresponding warning
message. When two or more warning
messages occur, display shall be

EAU16811
Tips for reducing 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).
EAU16831
Engine break-in
There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1000 km (600 mi). For
this reason, you should read the fol-
lowing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1000 km (600 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.
EAU16983
0–500 km (0–300 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 6000
r/min.
After every hour of operation, stop the
engine, and then let it cool for five to
ten minutes.
Vary the engine speed from time to
time. Do not operate the engine at one
set throttle position.
500–1000 km (300–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 8000
r/min.
Rev the engine freely through the
gears, but do not use full throttle at any
time. NOTICE: After 1000 km (600 mi)
of operation, the engine oil must be
changed, the oil filter cartridge or el-
ement replaced, and the oil strainer
cleaned.

Valve clearance
The 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.
EAU59162
Tires
Tires 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
adjusted in accordance with the
riding speed and with the total
weight of rider, passenger, car-
go, and accessories approved
for this model.
