TIPIndicator “ ” comes on when tripmeter
A is selected, and indicator “ ” comeson when tripmeter B is selected.
If the fuel level warning light comes on (see page 3-2), the display will auto-
matically change to the fuel reserve
tripmeter mode “F” and start counting
the distance traveled from that point. In
this case, push the “SELECT 2” button
to switch the display between the vari-
ous tripmeter and odometer modes in
the following order:
fuel reserve tripmeter “F”
 odometer
 tripmeter A  tripmeter B  fuel re-
serve tripmeter “F”
TIPThe fuel level warning light may not
function accurately while riding off road
as the fuel level reading changes due to
the movement and inclination of the ve-hicle.
If the fuel level warning light comes on
while riding in the measurement mode,
change to the basic mode and push the
“SELECT 2” button to display the fuel
reserve tripmeter.TIPTo change from the measurement
mode to the basic mode, the stopwatch
and the distance-compensation tripme-
ter must be stopped.
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT 2” button, and then
push the “RESET” button for at least
one second. If you do not reset the fuel
reserve tripmeter “F” manually, it will re-
set itself automatically and the display
will return to the prior mode after refuel-
ing and traveling 5 km (3 mi).TIPThe display cannot be switched back to
fuel reserve tripmeter “F” after the fuelreserve tripmeter “F” has been reset.

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.
EAU17024
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/3
throttle. NOTICE: After 1000 km (600
mi) of operation, the engine oil must
be changed, and the oil filter car-
tridge or element replaced.
[ECA11283]
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/2 throttle.
1600 km (1000 mi) and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.
NOTICE
ECA10271
If any engine trouble should occur
during the engine break-in period,
immediately have a Yamaha dealercheck the vehicle.

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.
EAU70280
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):
Up to 90 kg (198 lb) load:Front:125 kPa (1.25 kgf/cm
2, 18 psi)
Rear: 175 kPa (1.75 kgf/cm2, 25 psi)
90 kg (198 lb) to maximum load:
Front:150 kPa (1.50 kgf/cm2, 22 psi)
Rear:
200 kPa (2.00 kgf/cm2, 29 psi)
Maximum load*: 185 kg (408 lb)
* Total weight of rider, passenger, car- go and accessories
