Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle’s
traveling speed.
For certain markets, the display can be
switched between kilometers and
miles. (See “Unit” on page 4-22.)
Tachometer
The tachometer shows the engine
speed, as measured by the rotational
velocity of the crankshaft, in revolutions
per minute (r/min). When the vehicle is
first powered on, the tachometer will
sweep across the r/min range and then
return to zero.TIP
In TRACK MODE, the tachometer
starts at 8000 r/min.

In STREET MODE, the tachome-
ter can be color-adjusted and has
a revolution peak hold indicatorwhich can be turned on or off.
NOTICE
ECA10032
Do not operate the engine in the ta- chometer red zone.
Red zone: 14000 r/min and above
Information display
This section of the main screen is used
to show additional riding related infor-
mation such as air and coolant temper-
ature readings, tripmeters, and fuel
consumption statistics. The information
display items can be set into four
groups via the MENU screen.
The information display items are:
A.TEMP: air temperature
C.TEMP: coolant temperature
TRIP-1: tripmeter 1
TRIP-2: tripmeter 2
F-TRIP: fuel tripmeter
ODO: odometer
FUEL CON: the amount of fuel con-
sumed
FUEL AVG: average fuel consumption
CRNT FUEL: current fuel consumptionTIP
ODO will lock at 999999 and can-
not be reset.

TRIP-1 and TRIP-2 will reset and
continue counting after 9999.9 has
been reached.

When the fuel tank reserve level
has been reached, F-TRIP ap-
pears automatically and begins re-
cording distance traveled from that
point.

After refueling and traveling some
distance, F-TRIP will automatically
disappear.

See “Unit” on page 4-22 to change
the fuel consumption units.

In TRACK MODE, information dis-
play items FASTEST (fastest lap
time) and AVERAGE (average laptime) are also available.
TRIP-1, TRIP-2, F-TRIP, FUEL CON,
and FUEL AVE items can be individual-
ly reset.
To reset information display items
1. Use the wheel switch to scroll through the display items until the
item you want to reset appears.
2. Short push the wheel switch and the item will flash for five seconds.
(For STREET MODE, if both items
are resettable items, the top item
will flash first. Scroll down to select
the bottom item.)

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 7000
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 8400 r/min.
1600 km (1000 mi) and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.
NOTICE
ECA10311

Keep the engine speed out of
the tachometer red zone.

If any engine trouble should oc-
cur during the engine break-in
period, immediately have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehi-cle.
TIPDuring and after the engine break-in
period, the exhaust heat may cause
discoloration of the exhaust pipe, butthis is normal.
