This display shows the outside air tem-
perature from –10 °C to 40 °C in 1 °C
increments. The temperature dis-
played may vary from the actual out-
side air temperature.
TIP
zIf the outside air temperature falls
below –10 °C, a lower temperature
than –10 °C will not be displayed.
zIf the outside air temperature
climbs above 40 °C, a higher tem-
perature than 40 °C will not be dis-
played.
zThe accuracy of the temperature
reading may be affected when rid-
ing slowly (approximately under
20 km/h [12 mi/h]) or when
stopped at traffic signals, railroad

Fuel reserve tripmeter
When approximately 1.6 L (0.42 US
gal, 0.35 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the last segment of the fuel
meter and the fuel level warning indica-
tor will start flashing. The display will
automatically change to the fuel re-
serve tripmeter and start counting the
distance traveled from that point. In
this case, push the “SELECT” button
to switch the display in the following
order:

ABS (for ABS models)
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 distance
from the vehicle ahead to match the
riding speed even with ABS.
zThe ABS performs best with
long braking distances.
zOn certain surfaces, such as
rough or gravel roads, the brak-
ing distance may be longer 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
zThe 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.zThis 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 damage the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of the
ABS will result.

Fuel tank cap
To remove the fuel tank cap
1. Open the seat. (See page 3-15.)
2. Turn the fuel tank cap counter-
clockwise and pull it off.
To install the fuel tank cap
1. Insert the fuel tank cap into the
tank opening and turn it clockwise
until the “ ” marks on the cap
and tank are aligned.
2. Close the seat.
WARNING
EWA11092
Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly closed after filling fuel.
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard.
EAU13222
Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce 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.1. Fuel tank cap

ately. NOTICE: Immediately
wipe off spilled fuel with a clean,
dry, soft cloth, since fuel may
deteriorate painted surfaces or
plastic parts.

4. Be sure to securely close the fuel
tank cap.
WARNING
EWA15152
Gasoline is poisonous and can
cause injury or death. Handle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gasoline
by mouth. If you should swallow
some gasoline or inhale a lot of gas-
oline vapor, or get some gasoline in
your eyes, see your doctor immedi-
ately. If gasoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap and water. If gaso-
line spills on your clothing, change
your clothes.
EAU76750
NOTICE
ECA11401
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause severe
damage to internal engine parts,
such as the valves and piston rings,
as well as to the exhaust system.
TIP
zThis mark identifies the recom-
mended fuel for this vehicle as
specified by European regulation
(EN228).
zCheck that gasoline nozzle has
the same identifier when fueling.
Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use regular unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
95 or higher. If knocking (or pinging)
occurs, use a gasoline of a different
brand or premium unleaded fuel. Use
of unleaded fuel will extend spark plug
life and reduce maintenance costs.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gaso-
hol containing ethanol and that con-
taining methanol. Gasohol containing
ethanol can be used if the ethanol con-
tent does not exceed 10% (E10). Gas-
ohol containing methanol is not
recommended by Yamaha because it
can cause damage to the fuel system
or vehicle performance problems.
Recommended fuel:
Regular unleaded gasoline (Gasohol
[E10] acceptable)
Fuel tank capacity:
7.2 L (1.9 US gal, 1.6 Imp.gal)

Fuel tank overflow hose
Before operating the vehicle:
zCheck the fuel tank overflow hose
connection and routing.
zCheck the fuel tank overflow hose
for cracks or damage, and replace
it if necessary.
zMake sure that the fuel tank over-
flow hose is not blocked, and
clean it if necessary.
EAU13434
Catalytic converter
This model is equipped with a catalytic
converter in the exhaust system.
WARNING
EWA10863
The exhaust system is hot after op-
eration. To prevent a fire hazard or
burns:
zDo not park the vehicle near
possible fire hazards such as
grass or other materials that
easily burn.
zPark the vehicle in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch the hot
exhaust system.
zMake sure that the exhaust sys-
tem has cooled down before
doing any maintenance work.
zDo not allow the engine to idle
more than a few minutes. Long
idling can cause a build-up of
heat.
NOTICE
ECA10702
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause unre-
pairable damage to the catalytic
converter.

Storage compartment
There is a storage compartment under
the seat. (See page 3-15.)
WARNING
EWA10962
zDo not exceed the load limit of 5
kg (11 lb) for the storage com-
partment.
zDo not exceed the maximum
load of 167 kg (368 lb) for the ve-
hicle.
NOTICE
ECA21150
Keep the following points in mind
when using the storage compart-
ment.
zSince the storage compartment
accumulates heat when ex-
posed to the sun and/or the en-
gine heat, do not store anything
susceptible to heat, consum-
ables or flammable items inside
it.
zTo avoid humidity from spread-
ing through the storage com-
partment, wrap wet articles in a
plastic bag before storing them
in the compartment.zSince the storage compartment
may get wet while the vehicle is
being washed, wrap any articles
stored in the compartment in a
plastic bag.
zDo not keep anything valuable
or breakable in the storage
compartment.
TIP
zSome helmets cannot be stored in
the storage compartment be-
cause of their size or shape.
zDo not leave your vehicle unat-
tended with the seat open.
