Clock
The clock displays time in 12-hour for-
mat. To set the clock, see page 3-12.
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 starts 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 me-
ter will flash repeatedly. If this oc-curs, have a Yamaha dealer check
the vehicle.
Eco indicator
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.


Average 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 when
miles is selected “MPG” will be dis-
played.

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 display
flashes, and then push the “RESET”
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 (0.6mi).NOTICE

If there is a malfunction, “– –.–” will
be continuously displayed. Have aYamaha dealer check the vehicle.
Instantaneous fuel consumption
This function calculates the instanta-
neous fuel consumption (fuel economy)
under current riding conditions. The in-
stantaneous fuel consumption display
can be set to “km/L” or “L/100km”; or
when miles is selected “MPG” will be
displayed.
The “km/L” display shows the dis-
tance that can be traveled on 1.0 L
of fuel.

The “L/100km” display shows the
amount of fuel necessary to travel
100 km.


NOTICE
ECA10261

Even with the transmission in
the neutral position, do not
coast for long periods of time
with the engine off, and do not
tow the motorcycle for long dis-
tances. The transmission is
properly lubricated only when
the engine is running. Inade-
quate lubrication may damage
the transmission.

Always use the clutch while
changing gears to avoid damag-
ing the engine, transmission,
and drive train, which are not
designed to withstand theshock of forced shifting.
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.
EAU63170
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 5600
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 6800
