button, and then push the “RESET”
button for one second. If you do not re- set the fuel reserve tripmeter manually,
it will reset automatically and the dis-
play will return to the prior mode after
refueling and traveling 5 km (3 mi).
To reset the oil change tripmeter or V-
belt replacement tripmeter, select it by
pushing the “SELECT” button, and
then push the “RESET” button for
three to four seconds.
TIP
The odometer will lock at 999999.
The tripmeters will reset and con-
tinue counting after 9999.9 is
reached.Oil chan ge in dicator “OIL CHANGE” This indicator will come on at the initial
1000 km (600 mi), then at 4000 km
(2500 mi) and every 4000 km (2500 mi)
thereafter to indicate that the engine oil
should be changed.
After changing the engine oil, reset the
oil change indicator and the oil change
tripmeter. To reset them both, select
the oil change tripmeter, and then push
the “RESET” button for one second.
While “OIL CHANGE” is flashing, push
the “RESET” button for three seconds.
The oil change tripmeter will be reset
and the oil change indicator will go off.
If the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator comes on (i.e., be-
fore the periodic oil change interval has
been reached), the oil change tripmeter
must be reset for the next periodic oil
change to be indicated at the correct
time.1. Oil change indicator “OIL CHANGE”

TIP As the unified brake system is me-
chanical, additional free play can
be felt in the front brake lever
when the rear brake lever is being
pulled.
The unified brake system does not
function when the front brake is
applied alone.
EAU70900
ABS (for ABS mo dels)Your leaning multi-wheel vehicle’s ABS
(Anti-lock Brake System) features an
electronic control system, which acts
on each of the front and rear brakes in-
dependently.
Operate the brakes with ABS as you
would conventional brakes. If the ABS
is activated, a pulsating sensation may
be felt at the brake levers. In this situa-
tion, continue to apply the brakes and
let the ABS work; do not “pump” the
brakes as this will reduce braking ef-
fectiveness.
WARNING
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient d istance
from the vehicle ahead 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
front of the vehicle, and if either
brake lever is even slightly ap-
plied, a vibration can be felt at the
lever, but these do not indicate a
malfunction.
This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience
the pulsation at the brake levers
when the ABS is operating. How-
ever, special tools are required, so
please consult your Yamaha deal-
er.NOTICE
ECA20100
Be careful not to d amage the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of the
ABS will result.

FuelMake sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
Gasoline an d gasoline vapors are
extremely flammab le. To avoid fires
an d explosions an d to re duce the
risk of injury when refueling , 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. 3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately. NOTICE: Immediately
wipe off spille d fuel with a clean,
d ry, soft cloth, since fuel may
d eteriorate painte d surfaces or
plastic parts.
[ECA10072]
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 g et some gasoline in
