3“L/100 km” is the amount of fuel
necessary to travel 100 km under
current riding conditions.
“MPG” is the distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel un-
der current riding conditions.
To switch between “km/L” and “L/100
km”, push the “INFO” button.
TIP
If traveling at speeds under 10 km/h

Average speed display
This display shows the average speed
since it was last reset. The average
speed is calculated as the total dis-
tance traveled divided by the total time

since the last set to zero.

seconds.Warning message function
When a vehicle irregularity, road or ser-
vice condition has been detected, in
addition to any corresponding warning
lights or indicators, the following warn-
ing messages will display accordingly.
L FUEL (low fuel)
H TEMP (high coolant tempera-
ture)
L BATT (low battery voltage)
H BATT (high battery voltage)
ICE (possible icy road conditions)
OIL SERV (oil service required)
V-BELT SERV (V-belt service re-
quired)
Coolant temperature meter
This meter indicates the temperature
of the coolant, and thereby the engine.
The coolant temperature varies with
changes in the weather and engine
load. If the “H” segment and the cool-
ant temperature warning indicator start
flashing, stop the vehicle and let the
engine cool.
NOTICE

Tips for reducing fuel con-
sumption
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follow-
ing tips to reduce fuel consumption:
Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
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 traf-
fic lights or at railroad crossings).
EAU16831
Engine break-in
There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1000 km (600 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
1000 km (600 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.
EAUS1841
0–500 km (0–300 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 5000
r/min.
500–1000 km (300–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 7500
r/min. NOTICE: After 1000 km (600
mi) of operation, be sure to replace
the engine oil, final transmission oil
and the oil filter element.
[ECA12932]
1000 km (600 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.

WARNING
EWAT1041
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot.
Scalding hot fluid and steam may be blown out under pressure, which
could cause serious injury. Be sure to wait until the engine has cooled.
Place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radiator cap, and then slowly ro-
tate the cap counterclockwise to the detent to allow any residual pres-
sure to escape. When the hissing sound has stopped, press down on the
cap while turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.
TIP
If coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided
that it is changed to the recommended coolant as soon as possible.
Wait until the engine
has cooled.
Check the coolant
level in the reservoir
and radiator.Add coolant.
(See TIP.)
The coolant level is
OK.
There is no leakage.
There is leakage.
The coolant level is
low.
Check the cooling
system for leakage.
Have a Yamaha
dealer check and
repair the cooling
system.
Start the engine. If the engine overheats again,
have a Yamaha dealer check and repair the cooling
system.
