“F” (full) towards “E” (empty) as the fuel
level decreases. When the last seg-
ment starts flashing, refuel as soon as
possible.
When the key is turned to “ON”, all dis-
play segments come on in order to test
the electrical circuit.
TIP
If a problem is detected in the fuel me-
ter electrical circuit, the fuel meter dis-
play segments will flash repeatedly.
Have a Yamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle.
Eco in
dicator
This indicator comes on when the vehi-
cle is being operated in an environ-
mentally friendly, fuel-efficient manner.
The indicator goes off when the vehicle
is stopped.
TIP
Consider the following tips to reduce
fuel consumption:  Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
 Travel at a constant speed.
 Select the transmission gear that
is appropriate for the vehicle
speed.
Transmission gear display
This display shows the selected gear.
The neutral position is indicated
by “ ” and by the neutral indicator
light “ ”.
Drive mo de display
This display indicates which drive
mode has been selected: Touring
mode “T” or sports mode “S”. For
more details on the modes and on how
to select them, see pages 3-21 and

To set or select the items shown, see
page 3-15.
Odometer display:
The odometer shows the total distance
traveled by the vehicle.
Tripmeter displays:
“TRIP-1” and “TRIP-2” show the dis-
tance traveled since they were last set
to zero.
TIP
 The odometer will lock at 999999.
 The tripmeters will reset and con-
tinue counting after 9999.9 is
reached.
When approximately 5.5 L (1.45 US
gal, 1.21 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the last segment of the fuel
meter starts flashing. In addition, the
information display will automatically
change to the fuel reserve tripmeter
mode “TRIP-F” and start counting the
distance traveled from that point.
In this case, push the select switch to
switch the display in the following or-
der:
TRIP-F → Display–1 → Display–2 →
Display–3 → TRIP-F
To reset a tripmeter, use the select
switch to select the information display
that contains the tripmeter you want to
reset. Push the “RESET” button briefly
so that the tripmeter flashes, and then
push the “RESET” button again for 2
seconds while the tripmeter is flashing.
If you do not reset the fuel reserve trip-
meter manually, it will reset automati-
cally after refueling and traveling 5 km
(3 mi).

Average fuel consumption display:
The average fuel consumption display
modes “km/L”, “L/100km” or “MPG”
show the average fuel consumption
since the display was last reset.
 The “km/L” display shows the av-
erage distance that can be trav-
eled on 1.0 L of fuel.
 The “L/100km” display shows the
average amount of fuel necessary
to travel 100 km.
 The “MPG” display shows the av-
erage distance that can be trav-
eled on 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel.
To reset the average fuel consumption
display, use the select switch to select
the information display that contains
the average fuel consumption display.
Push the “RESET” button briefly so
that the average fuel consumption dis-
play flashes, and then push the “RE-
SET” button again for 2 seconds while
the display is flashing.
TIP
After resetting the average fuel con-
sumption display, “_ _._” will be shown
for that display until the vehicle has
traveled 1 km (0.6 mi).

Instantaneous fuel consumption dis-
play:
The instantaneous fuel consumption
display modes “km/L”, “L/100km” or
“MPG” show the fuel consumption un-
der the current riding conditions.
 The “km/L” display shows the dis-
tance that can be traveled on 1.0 L
of fuel.
 The “L/100km” display shows the
amount of fuel necessary to travel
100 km.
 The “MPG” display shows the dis-
tance that can be traveled on
1.0 Imp.gal of fuel.
TIP
If traveling at speeds under 10 km/h (6
mi/h), “_ _._” will be displayed.

EAU16811
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:
 Shift up swiftly, and avoid high en-
gine speeds during acceleration.
 Do not rev the engine while shift-
ing down, and avoid high engine
speeds with no load on the en-
gine.
 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).
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.
EAU17124
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 4500
r/min. NOTICE: After 1000 km (600
mi) of operation, the en gine oil an d
final gear oil must be chan ged , an d
the oil filter cartri dge or element re-
placed .
[ECA10333]
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 5400
r/min.
1600 km (1000 mi) an d b eyon d
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.
NOTICE
ECA10311
 Keep the en gine speed out of
the tachometer red zone.
