→ TRIP 2 (tripmeter) → ODO (odome-
ter)
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
Ave __._ L/100 km”, the instantaneous
fuel consumption mode “C
INS__._km/L” or “C INS__._L/100
km” , the trip time mode “TRIP TIME _h
__min”, the average speed “AVE

Starting the engine
In order for the ignition circuit cut-off
system to enable starting, one of the
following conditions must be met:
The transmission is in the neutral
position.
The transmission is in gear with
the clutch lever pulled and the
sidestand up.
See page 3-20 for more informa-
tion.
1. Turn the key to “ON” and make
sure that the engine stop switch is
set to “ ”.
The following warning lights and
indicator lights should come on for
a few seconds, then go off.
Neutral indicator light
Turn signal indicator light
High beam indicator light
Engine trouble warning light
Fuel level warning light
Tachometer high-rpm warn-
ing light
NOTICE
ECA11834
If a warning or indicator light does
not come on initially when the key is
turned to “ON”, or if a warning or in-
dicator light remains on, see page
3-2 for the corresponding warning
and indicator light circuit check.
For ABS models:
The ABS warning light should
come on when the key is turned to
“ON”, and then go off after travel-
ing at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h)
or higher.
NOTICE
ECA17682
If the ABS warning light does not
come on and then go off as ex-
plained above, see page 3-2 for the
warning light circuit check.
2. Shift the transmission into the
neutral position. The neutral indi-
cator light should come on. If not,
ask a Yamaha dealer to check the
electrical circuit.
3. Start the engine by pushing the
start switch.
If the engine fails to start, release
the start switch, wait a few sec-
onds, and then try again. Each
starting attempt should be as
short as possible to preserve the
battery. Do not crank the engine
more than 10 seconds on any one
attempt.

Periodic maintenance and adjustment
6-33
6 To check the electrolyte level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
TIP
Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking the
electrolyte level.
2. Check the electrolyte level in the
battery.
TIP
The electrolyte should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
3. If the electrolyte is at or below the
minimum level mark, add distilled
water to raise it to the maximum
level mark. NOTICE: Use only
distilled water, as tap water
contains minerals that are
harmful to the battery.
[ECA10612]
4. Check and, if necessary, tighten
the battery lead connections and
correct the breather hose routing.
To store the battery
1. If the motorcycle will not be used
for more than one month, remove
the battery, fully charge it, andthen place it in a cool, dry place.
NOTICE: When removing the
battery, be sure the key is
turned to “OFF”, then discon-
nect the negative lead before
disconnecting the positive lead.
[ECA16303]
2. If the battery will be stored for
more than two months, check the
specific gravity of the electrolyte
at least once a month and fully
charge the battery whenever nec-
essary.
3. Fully charge the battery before in-
stallation. NOTICE: When install-
ing the battery, be sure the key
is turned to “OFF”, then connect
the positive lead before con-
necting the negative lead.
[ECA16841]
4. After installation, make sure that
the battery leads are properly con-
nected to the battery terminals
and that the breather hose is prop-
erly routed, in good condition, and
not obstructed. NOTICE: If the
breather hose is positioned in
such a way that the frame is ex-
posed to electrolyte or gas ex-
pelled from the battery, the
frame could suffer structural
and external damages.
