Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the amount of fuel in
the fuel tank. The display segments of the fuel
gauge disappear from “F” (full) towards “E”
(empty) as the fuel level decreases. When the
last segment on the left disappears and the
fuel level warning indicator flashes, refuel as
soon as possible.
TIPThis fuel gauge is equipped with a self-diag-
nosis system. If a problem is detected in an
electrical circuit, all the display segments and
fuel level warning indicator start flashing. If
this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit. Transmission gear display

tings which can be adjusted.
Flashing pattern: this function allows you to
choose whether or not the indicator light
will come on and whether it should flash or
stay on when activated. 
Activation point: this function allows you to
select the engine speed at which the indi-
cator light is activated.

10–20 hours:
Avoid prolonged operation above 6300 r/min.
After break-in:
The vehicle may now be operated normally.EBU36560Starting the engine1. Turn the key to “ ” (on).NOTICEECB03340The coolant temperature warning light,
YCC-S system warning light, and engine
trouble warning light should come on, then
go off.
The EPS warning light should come on,
then go off when the engine is started.
To avoid possible damage, do not operate
the vehicle if a warning light does not work
as described above. 2. Press the brake pedal.
3. Shift the transmission into neutral.
When the transmission is in the neutral
position, the transmission gear display
shows “N” and the neutral indicator
light should come on.
 The engine can be started in any gear if
the brake pedal is applied. However, it
is recommended to shift into neutral
before starting the engine.
4. With your foot off the accelerator pedal, start the engine by turning the key to “ ”
(start).
If the engine fails to start, release the key, and
then try starting it again. Wait a few seconds
before the next attempt. Each attempt should
be as short as possible, to preserve battery
energy. NOTICE: Do not crank the engine
more than 5 seconds on each attempt, or
starter damage could occur. Wait at least
5 seconds between each operation of the
electric starter to let it cool.
[ECB02140]
Do not turn the key to the “ ” (start) position
with the engine running; otherwise, damage
to the electric starter may result.

TIPTo use the drive select lever, you must be
pressing the brake pedal and be stopped
(be traveling less than 5 km/h [3 mph]), and
the engine should be at idle speed.
 You can shift between forward (first gear)
and reverse gear directly - it is not neces-
sary to shift into neutral.
 When using the shift paddles, YCC-S may
not complete the upshift if engine or vehicle
speed is too low, nor complete the down-
shift if engine or vehicle speed is too high.
 When AUTO DOWNSHIFT is downshifting
gears, do not operate the shift paddles or
accelerator pedal.
 During an emergency stop or sudden brak-
ing, AUTO DOWNSHIFT will not downshift
the transmission to first gear. Use the shift
paddle “ ” to downshift, and then apply
the accelerator pedal to resume normal op-
eration.
NOTICEECB03370Even with the transmission in the neutral
position, do not coast for long periods of
time with the engine off. The transmission
is properly lubricated only when the engine
is running. Inadequate lubrication may
damage the transmission. To start out and accelerate
1. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal
and apply the brake pedal. NOTICE: Al-
ways take your foot off the accelerator
pedal before operating the drive select
lever, otherwise damage to the engine
and drivetrain may result.
[ECB03360]
2. Release the parking brake (if applied).
3. Shift into first gear using the drive select lever (the transmission gear display
should show “1”).
4. Release the brake pedal and press the accelerator pedal gradually.
