5 km (3 mi).
TIP
z The odometer will lock at 999999.
z The tripmeters will reset and con-
tinue counting after 9999.9 is
reached.
Instantaneous fuel consumption
display
The instantaneous fuel consumption
display can be set to either “L/100 km”,
“km/L” or “MPG” (for the UK). z
“L/100 km”: The amount of fuel
necessary to travel 100 km under
the current riding conditions is
shown.
z “km/L”: The distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 L of fuel under the
current riding conditions is shown.
z “MPG” (for the UK): The distance
that can be traveled on 1.0 Imp.
gal of fuel under the current riding
conditions is shown.
To switch between the instantaneous
fuel consumption displays, push the
“SEL” button for one second.
TIP
If traveling at speeds under 20 km/h
(12 mi/h), “_ _._” is displayed.
Avera ge fuel consumption display
The average fuel consumption display
can be set to either “AVE_ _._ L/100
km”, “AVE_ _._ km/L” or “AVE_ _._
MPG” (for the UK).
This display shows the average fuel
consumption since it was last reset. z “AVE_ _._ L/100 km”: The average
amount of fuel necessary to travel
100 km is shown.
z “AVE_ _._ km/L”: The average dis-
tance that can be traveled on 1.0 L

Brake ped al
The brake pedal is located on the right
side of the motorcycle. To apply the
rear brake, press down on the brake
pedal.
EAU63040
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 lever or brake ped-
al. In this situation, continue to apply
the brakes and let the ABS work; do
not “pump” the brakes as this will re-
duce braking effectiveness.
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 key 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 “click-
ing” noise can be heard from the
hydraulic control unit, and if the
brake lever or brake pedal is even
slightly applied, a vibration can be
felt at the lever and pedal, but
these do not indicate a malfunc-
tion.

This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience
the pulsation at the brake lever or
brake pedal when the ABS is op-
erating. However, special tools are
required, so please consult your
Yamaha dealer.
NOTICE

Be careful not to damag e the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of the
ABS will result.

z This mark identifies the recom-
mended fuel for this vehicle as
specified by European regulation
(EN228).
z Check that gasoline nozzle has
the same identifier when fueling.
Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use regular unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
95 or higher. If knocking (or pinging)
occurs, use a gasoline of a different
brand. Use of unleaded fuel will extend
spark plug life and reduce mainte-
nance costs.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gaso-
hol containing ethanol and that con-
taining methanol. Gasohol containing
ethanol can be used if the ethanol con-
tent does not exceed 10% (E10). Gas-
ohol containing methanol is not
recommended by Yamaha because it
can cause damage to the fuel system
or vehicle performance problems.

Fuel tank overflow hose
Before operating the vehicle:
z Check the fuel tank overflow hose
connection and routing.
z Check the fuel tank overflow hose
for cracks or damage, and replace
it if necessary.
z Make sure that the fuel tank over-
flow hose is not blocked, and
clean it if necessary.

Engine oil an d oil filter car-
tri dge
The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil filter car-
tridge replaced at the intervals speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
To check the en gine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur- face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil set- tles, and then check the oil level
through the engine oil level check
window located at the bottom-
right side of the crankcase.
TIP
The engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.

Brake li ght switches
The brake light should come on just
before braking takes effect. The brake
light is activated by switches connect-
