Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle’s
traveling speed.
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 and the fuel level
warning indicator “ ” start flashing,

Under normal conditions, the multi-
function display can be set to display
the following.
zodometer “ODO”
ztripmeters “TRIP 1” or “TRIP 2”
zoil change tripmeter “OIL TRIP”
zV-belt replacement tripmeter
“BELT TRIP”
Push the “SELECT” button to switch
the display between the odometer ,
tripmeters 1 and 2, the oil change trip-
meter and the V-belt replacement trip-
meter in the following order:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → OIL TRIP
→ BELT TRIP → ODO
To reset tripmeter 1 or 2, select it by
pushing the “SELECT” button, and
then push the “RESET” button for one
second.
TIP
zThe odometer will lock at 999999.
zTripmeters 1 and 2 will reset and
continue counting after 9999.9 is
reached.
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:
F → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → OIL TRIP →
BELT TRIP → ODO → F
To temporarily turn off the fuel reserve
tripmeter, select it by pushing the “SE-
LECT” button, and then push the “RE-
SET” button for one second. To turn
the fuel reserve tripmeter back on, turn
the key to “OFF” and then to “ON”. The
fuel reserve tripmeter will be displayed

3Oil change tripmeter “OIL TRIP”
The oil change tripmeter shows the
distance traveled since the oil was last
changed.
The oil change indicator “OIL
CHANGE” will come on at the initial
1000 km (600 mi), then at 4000 km
(2500 mi), and then every 4000 km
(2500 mi) thereafter to indicate that the
engine oil should be changed.
After changing the engine oil, reset the
oil change indicator and the oil change
tripmeter. To reset them both, select
the oil change tripmeter, and then push
the “RESET” button for one second.
While “OIL CHANGE” is flashing, push
the “RESET” button for three to four
seconds. The oil change tripmeter will
be reset and the oil change indicator
will turn off.
TIP
If the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator comes on (i.e., be-
fore the periodic oil change interval has
been reached), the oil change tripmeter
must be reset for the oil change indica-
tor to come on at the correct time.
V-belt replacement tripmeter “BELT
TRIP”
The V-belt replacement tripmeter
shows the distance traveled since the
V-belt was last replaced.
The V-belt replacement indicator “V-
BELT” will come on every 20000 km
(12500 mi) to indicate that the V-belt
should be replaced.
If the V-belt replacement indicator has
come on, after replacing the V-belt, re-
set the V-belt replacement indicator
and the V-belt replacement tripmeter.
To reset them both, select the V-belt
replacement tripmeter, and then push
the “RESET” button for one second.
While “V-BELT” is flashing, push the
“RESET” button for three to four sec-
onds. The V-belt replacement tripme-
ter will be reset and the V-belt
replacement indicator will turn off.
TIP
If the V-belt is replaced before the V-
belt replacement indicator comes on
(i.e., before the periodic V-belt replace-
ment interval has been reached), the V-
belt replacement tripmeter must be re-
set for the V-belt replacement indicator
to come on at the correct time.

EAU63440
Inspect your vehicle each time you use it to make sure the vehicle is in safe oper-
ating condition. Always follow the inspection and maintenance procedures and
schedules described in the Owner’s Manual.
WARNING
EWA11152
Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility
of an accident or equipment damage. Do not operate the vehicle if you find
any problem. If a problem cannot be corrected by the procedures provided
in this manual, have the vehicle inspected by a Yamaha dealer.
Before using this vehicle, check the following points:
ITEM CHECKS PAGE
Fuel• Check fuel level in fuel tank.
• Refuel if necessary.
• Check fuel line for leakage.
• Check fuel tank overflow hose for obstructions, cracks
or damage, and check hose connection.3-12,
3-14
Engine oil• Check oil level in engine.
• If necessary, add recommended oil to specified level.
• Check vehicle for oil leakage.6-9
Final transmission oil• Check vehicle for oil leakage. 6-11
Coolant• Check coolant level in reservoir.
• If necessary, add recommended coolant to specified
level.
• Check cooling system for leakage.6-12
Front brake• Check operation.
• If soft or spongy, have Yamaha dealer bleed hydraulic
system.
• Check brake pads for wear.
• Replace if necessary.
• Check fluid level in reservoir.
• If necessary, add specified brake fluid to specified level.
• Check hydraulic system for leakage.6-21,
6-22
Rear brake• Check operation.
• If soft or spongy, have Yamaha dealer bleed hydraulic
system.
• Check brake pads for wear.
• Replace if necessary.
• Check fluid level in reservoir.
• If necessary, add specified brake fluid to specified level.
• Check hydraulic system for leakage.6-21,
6-22
Throttle grip• Make sure that operation is smooth.
• Check throttle grip free play.
• If necessary, have Yamaha dealer adjust throttle grip
free play and lubricate cable and grip housing.6-16,

EAU16821
Tips for reducing fuel con-
sumption
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follow-
ing tips to reduce fuel consumption:
zAvoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
zAvoid high engine speeds with no
load on the engine.
zTurn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length
of time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traf-
fic lights or at railroad crossings).
EAU16842
Engine break-in
There 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 fol-
lowing 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.
EAU74660
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/3
throttle. NOTICE: After 1000 km (600
mi) of operation, be sure to replace
the engine oil and clean the oil
strainer, and replace the final trans-
mission oil.
[ECA23650]
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 dealer
check the vehicle.
