Oil chan
ge tripmeter “Oil Trip”
The oil change tripmeter shows the
distance traveled since the oil was last
changed.
The oil change indicator “OIL” flashes
at the initial 1000 km (600 mi), then at
4000 km (2400 mi) and every 5000 km
(3000 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 “TRIP” switch for three seconds.
While the oil change tripmeter is flash-
ing, push the “TRIP” switch for 15 to 20
seconds. Release the “TRIP” switch,
and the oil trip value will reset to zero.
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 “V-
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 flash every 20000 km (12000
mi) to indicate that the V-belt should be
replaced.
After replacing the V-belt, reset the V-
belt replacement indicator and the V-
belt replacement tripmeter. To reset
them both, select the V-belt replace-
ment tripmeter, and then push the
“TRIP” switch for three seconds.
While the V-belt replacement tripmeter
is flashing, push the “TRIP” switch for
15 to 20 seconds. Release the “TRIP”
switch, and the V-belt trip value will re-
set to zero.
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.

Air temperature
display
This display shows the air temperature
from –10 °C to 50 °C in 1 °C incre-
ments.
The icy road warning indicator “ ” will
flash when the temperature is below 4
°C.
The temperature displayed may vary
from the actual ambient temperature.
TIP
The accuracy of the temperature read-
ing may be affected by engine heat
when riding slowly (under 20 km/h [12
mi/h]) or when stopped at traffic sig-
nals, etc.

This display shows the current charge
state of the battery.
TIP
z If the engine turns over slowly

Averag e fuel consumption d isplay
This function calculates the average
fuel consumption since it was last re-
set.
The average fuel consumption can be
displayed as either “Consump-
tion/Average_ _._ km/L”, “Consump-
tion/Average_ _._ L/100 km” or
“Consumption/Average_ _ _._ MPG”
(for the UK). z “Consumption/Average_ _._ km/L”:
The average distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 L of fuel is shown.

km”: The average amount of fuel
necessary to travel 100 km is
shown.
z“Consumption/Average_ _ _._ MPG”
(for the UK): The average distance
that can be traveled on 1.0 Imp.gal
of fuel is shown.
To reset the average fuel consumption,
push the “INFO” switch for at least
three seconds.
TIP
After resetting the average fuel con-
sumption, “_ _._” will be shown until
the vehicle has traveled 1 km (0.6 mi).
Instantaneous fuel consumption
display
This function calculates the fuel con-
sumption under current riding condi-
tions.
The instantaneous fuel consumption can
be displayed as either “Consumption_
_._km/L”, “Consumption_ _._L/100 km”
or “Consumption_ _ _._MPG” (for the
UK). z “Consumption_ _._km/L”: The
distance that can be traveled on
1.0 L of fuel under the current rid-
ing conditions is shown.
z “Consumption_ _._L/100 km”: The
amount of fuel necessary to travel
100 km under the current riding
conditions is shown.
z “Consumption_ _ _._MPG” (for the
UK): The distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel un-
der the current riding conditions is
shown.

TIP
If traveling at speeds under 10 km/h (6
mi/h), “_ _._” is displayed.
Avera ge speed d isplay
The average speed “Average_ _ _kmh”
or “Average_ _ _MPH” (for the UK) is
displayed.
The average speed is the total distance
divided by the total time (with the main
switch in the “ON” position) since the
display was last reset to zero.
This display shows the average speed
since it was last reset.
To reset the average speed display,
select it by pushing the “INFO” switch,
and then push the “INFO” switch for
three seconds.
Warnin g messa ge function
This function displays a warning mes-
sage corresponding to the current
warning.
“L FUEL”: Appears when the last seg-
ment of the fuel meter starts flashing. If
“L FUEL” is displayed, refuel as soon
as possible. “H TEMP”: Appears when the top seg-
ment of the coolant temperature meter
starts flashing. If “H TEMP” is dis-
played, stop the vehicle, then stop the
engine, and let the engine cool.
“ICE”: Appears when the icy road
warning indicator “ ” starts flashing. If
“ICE” is displayed, be careful of icy
roads.
“OIL SERV”: Appears when the oil
change indicator “OIL” starts flashing.
If “OIL SERV” is displayed, change the
engine oil, and then reset the oil chan-
ge indicator and oil change tripmeter.
“V-BELT SERV”: Appears when the V-
belt replacement indicator “V-Belt”
starts flashing. If “V-BELT SERV” is
displayed, replace the V-belt, and then
reset the V-belt replacement indicator
and V-belt replacement tripmeter.
When there are two or more warnings,
the warning messages are displayed in
the following order:
L FUEL
→ H TEMP → ICE → OIL SERV
→ VBELT SERV → L FUEL

EAU78200
ABS
The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con-
trol system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently.
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 d istance
from the vehicle ahead to match the
ri din g speed even with ABS.
z The ABS performs b est with
lon g b rakin g d istances.
z On certain surfaces, such as
rou gh or g ravel roa ds, the b rak-
in g d istance may be lon ger 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
z The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test each time the vehicle first
starts off after the main switch 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
“clicking” noise can be heard from
the front of the vehicle, and if ei-
ther brake lever is even slightly ap-
plied, a vibration can be felt at the
lever, but these do not indicate a
malfunction.
