ABS warnin
g li ght “ ”
In normal operation, the ABS warning
light comes on when the key is turned
to “ON”, and goes off after traveling at
a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or higher.
If the ABS warning light:  does not come on when the key is
turned to “ON”
 comes on or flashes while riding
 does not go off after traveling at a
speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or high-

Speed ometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle’s
traveling speed.
TIPFor the UK: To switch between kilome-
ters and miles, see page 3-12.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 will sweep across the r/min
range and then return to zero in order
to test the electrical circuit.NOTICE

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 of the fuel meter and fuel level
warning indicator start flashing, refuel
as soon as possible.
TIP
When the key is first turned to
“ON”, all of the display segments
of the fuel meter will appear for a
few seconds before the fuel meter
shows the actual fuel level. 
If a problem is detected in the fuel
meter electrical circuit, the fuel
meter and the fuel level warning
indicator will flash repeatedly. If
this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.
Eco in dicator
The eco indicator comes on when the
vehicle is being operated in an environ-
mentally friendly, fuel-efficient manner.
The indicator goes off when the vehicle
is stopped.TIPConsider 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.
Transmission gear display
The transmission gear display shows
the selected gear. This model is
equipped with 6 gears. The neutral po-
sition is indicated by the neutral indica-
tor light “ ” and by the transmission
gear display “ ”.

TIP –9 °C will be displayed even if the
ambient temperature falls below
–9 °C.
 The accuracy of the temperature
reading may be affected when rid-
ing slowly (under 20 km/h [13
mi/h]) or when stopped at traffic
signals, railroad crossings, etc.Coolant temperature
This shows the temperature of the
coolant. The coolant temperature var-
ies with changes in the weather and
engine load.
If the message “Hi” flashes, stop the
vehicle then stop the engine and let it

Do not continue to operate the en-
gine if it is overheatin g.Averag e fuel consumption
This function calculates the average
fuel consumption (fuel economy) of the
vehicle since it was last reset. The av-
erage fuel consumption display can be set to “km/L” or “L/100km”; or for the
UK, when miles is selected “MPG” will
be displayed.
 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.
To reset the average fuel consumption
display, use the select switch to select
the information display that contains
the average fuel consumption display.
Push the “RESET” button briefly so
that the average fuel consumption dis-
play flashes, and then push the “RE-
SET” button again for 2 seconds while
the display is flashing.
TIPAfter resetting the average fuel con-
sumption display, “_ _._” will be shown
until the vehicle has traveled 1 km (0.6
mi).

Self- dia gnosis mo de
This model is equipped with a self-di-
agnosis function for various electrical
circuits. If a problem is detected in any
of those circuits, the engine trouble
warning light will come on and the in-
formation display changes to self-diag-
nosis mode. If the display indicates any
error codes, note the code number and
have a Yamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle.
NOTICE

If the display in dicates an error co-
d e, the vehicle shoul d b e checked as
soon as possi ble in or der to avoi d

tects problems with the immobilizer
system. If a problem is detected in the
immobilizer system, the immobilizer
system indicator light will flash and the
information display will indicate an er-
ror code.TIPIf the display indicates error code 52,
this could be caused by transponder
interference. Try the following:1. Make sure there are no other im-
mobilizer keys close to the main
switch. Other immobilizer system
keys may cause interference and
prevent the engine from starting.
2. Use the code re-registering key to start the engine.
3. If the engine starts, turn it off and try starting the engine with the
standard keys.

D-mo de ( drive mo de)D-mode is an electronically controlled
engine performance system with three
mode selections (“STD”, “A”, and “B”).
Push the drive mode switch “MODE”
to switch between modes. (See page
3-20 for an explanation of the drive
mode switch.)TIPBefore using D-mode, make sure you
understand its operation along with the
operation of the drive mode switch.Mo de “STD”
Mode “STD” is suitable for various rid-
ing conditions. This mode allows the rider to enjoy
smooth and sporty drivability from the
low-speed range to the high-speed
range.
Mo
de “A”
Mode “A” offers a sportier engine re-
sponse in the low- to mid-speed range
compared to mode “STD”.
Mo de “B”
Mode “B” offers response that is
somewhat less sharp compared to
mode “STD” for riding situations that
require especially sensitive throttle op-
eration.1. Drive mode switch “MODE”

Traction control systemThe traction control system helps
maintain traction when accelerating on
slippery surfaces, such as unpaved or
wet roads. If sensors detect that the
rear wheel is starting to slip (uncon-
trolled spinning), the traction control
system assists by regulating engine
power as needed until traction is re-
stored. The “TCS” indicator/warning
light flashes to let the rider know that
traction control has engaged.TIPThe rider may also notice slight chang-
es in engine and exhaust sounds when
the traction control system is engaged.
WARNING
EWA15432
The traction control system is not a
su bstitute for rid ing appropriately
for the con ditions. Traction control
cannot prevent loss of traction d ue
to excessive speed when entering
turns, when acceleratin g har d at a
sharp lean an gle, or while b raking,
an d cannot prevent front wheel slip-
pin g. As with any motorcycle, ap- proach surfaces that may
be
slippery with caution an d avoi d es-
pecially slippery surfaces.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the
traction control system automatically
turns on.
The traction control system can be
turned on or off manually only when
the key is in the “ON” position and the
motorcycle is stopped.TIPTurn the traction control system off to
help free the rear wheel if the motorcy-
cle gets stuck in mud, sand, or other
soft surfaces.NOTICE
ECA16801
Use only the specified tires. (See
pa ge 6-17.) Usin g different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controllin g tire rotation
accurately.
