4 Information
display
The information display is equipped
with the following: z air temperature display
z battery voltage display
z traction control system display
z average fuel consumption display
z instantaneous fuel consumption
display
z average speed display
z warning message function
Navi gatin g the information display
Push the “INFO” switch to change the
display between the air temperature
display “Air-temp”, battery voltage dis-
play “Battery”, traction control system
display “TCS ON” or “TCSOFF”, aver-
age fuel consumption display “Con-
sumption/Average_ _._ km/L” or
“Consumption/Average_ _._ L/100
km”, instantaneous fuel consumption
display “Consumption_ _._ km/L” or
“Consumption_ _._ L/100 km” and av-
erage speed display “Average” in the
following order:
Air-temp → Battery → TCS ON or TC-
SOFF → Consumption/Average_ _._
km/L → Consumption/Average_ _._ L/100 km →
Consumption_ _._ km/L
→ Consumption_ _._ L/100 km → Av-
erage → Air-temp
For the UK:
Push the “TRIP” switch to change the
display between the air temperature
display “Air-temp”, battery voltage dis-
play “Battery”, traction control system
display “TCS ON” or “TCSOFF”, aver-
age fuel consumption display “Con-
sumption/Average_ _._ km/L”,
“Consumption/Average_ _._ L/100
km” or “Consumption/Average_ _
_._MPG”, instantaneous fuel con-
sumption display “Consumption_ _._
km/L”, “Consumption_ _._ L/100 km”
or “Consumption_ _ _._MPG” and av-
erage speed display “Average” in the
following order:
Air-temp → Battery → TCS ON or TC-
SOFF → Consumption/Average_ _._
km/L → Consumption/Average_ _._
L/100 km → Consumption/Average_ _
_._ MPG → Consumption_ _._ km/L →
Consumption_ _._ L/100 km →
Consumption_ _ _._ MPG → Average
→ Air-temp
TIP
z When kilometers are selected for
the display units, “Consump-
tion/Average_ _ _._MPG” and
“Consumption_ _ _._MPG” are not
displayed.
z When miles are selected for the
display units, “Consump-
tion/Average_ _._ km/L”, “Con-
sumption/Average_ _._ L/100

TIP
If only “TCS” is displayed, there is a
communication error within the vehi-
cle. Have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle as soon as possible.
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.
z “Consumption/Average_ _._ L/100
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.

WARNING
EWA10301
zAvoi d b rakin g har d or su ddenly
(especially when leanin g over to
one si de), otherwise the scooter
may ski d or overturn.
z Railroa d crossin gs, streetcar
rails, iron plates on roa d con-
struction sites, an d manhole
covers become extremely slip-
pery when wet. Therefore, slow
d own when approachin g such
areas an d cross them with cau-
tion.
z Keep in min d that b raking on a
wet roa d is much more difficult.
z Ride slowly d own a hill, as brak-
in g d ownhill can be very d iffi-
cult.
1. Close the throttle completely.
2. Apply both front and rear brakes simultaneously while gradually in-
creasing the pressure.

Tips for re ducin g fuel con-
sumption
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follow-
ing tips to reduce fuel consumption:
z Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
z Avoid high engine speeds with no
load on the engine.
z 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).
