Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel meter disappear from
“F” (full) towards “E” (empty) as the fuel
level decreases. When the last seg-
ment starts flashing, refuel as soon as
possible.
TIP
If a problem is detected in the fuel me-
ter electrical circuit,
the fuel meter will
flash repeatedly. Have a Yamaha deal-
er check the vehicle.
Coolant temperature meter
The coolant temperature varies with changes in the weather and engine
load. If the top segment starts flashing,
the information display automatically
changes to “C-TEMP” and “Hi” flashes.
Stop the vehicle and let the engine
cool. (See page 8-35.)
TIP
The information display cannot be
changed while the engine is overheat-
ing.
NOTICE
ECA10022
Do not continue to operate the en-
gine if it is overheating.
Eco indicator
This indicator comes on when the vehi-
cle is being operated in an environmen-
tally 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.

belt replacement indicator flashes, the
indicator must be reset in order for the
next periodic V-belt change to be indi-
cated at the correct time.
Oil change indicator
This indicator flashes at the initial 1000
km (600 mi), then at 5000 km (3000 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. (See page 5-13.)
TIP
If the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator flashes, the indica-
tor must be reset in order for the next
periodic oil change to be indicated at
the correct time.

Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, follow
these instructions. 1. Before refueling, turn off the en- gine and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vicin-
ity of sparks, open flames, or other
sources of ignition such as the pilot
lights of water heaters and clothes
dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler
hole. Stop filling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the filler
tube. Because fuel expands when
it heats up, heat from the engine or
the sun can cause fuel to spill out
of the fuel tank.
3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi- ately. NOTICE: Immediately wipe off spilled fuel with a clean, dry,
soft cloth, since fuel may deteri-
orate painted surfaces or plastic
parts.
[ECA10072]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel
tank cap.
WARNING
EWA15152
Gasoline is poisonous and can
cause injury or death. Handle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gaso-
line by mouth. If you should swallow
some gasoline or inhale a lot of gas-
oline vapor, or get some gasoline in
your eyes, see your doctor immedi-
ately. If gasoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap and water. If gaso-
line spills on your clothing, change
your clothes.
EAU79080
NOTICE
ECA11401
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause severe
damage to internal engine parts,
such as the valves and piston rings,
as well as to the exhaust system.

TIP
This mark identifies the recom-
mended fuel for this vehicle as
specified by European regulation
(EN228).
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) oc-
curs, use a gasoline of a different
brand. Use of unleaded fuel will extend
spark plug life and reduce maintenance
costs.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gaso-
hol containing ethanol and that contain-
ing 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.
EAU58301
Fuel tank overflow hose
Before operating the vehicle:
Check the fuel t ank overflow hose
connection and routing.
Check the fuel t ank overflow hose
for cracks or damage, and replace
it if necessary.
Make sure that the fuel tank over-
flow hose is not blocked, and clean
it if necessary.

Catalytic converter
This model is equipped with a catalytic
converter in the exhaust system.
WARNING
EWA10863
The exhaust system is hot after op-
eration. To prevent a fire hazard or
burns:
Do not park the vehicle near
possible fire hazards such as
grass or other materials that
easily burn.
Park the vehicle in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch the hot
exhaust system.
Make sure that the exhaust sys-
tem has cooled down before do-
ing any maintenance work.
Do not allow the engine to idle
more than a few minutes. Long
idling can cause a build-up of
heat.
NOTICE
ECA10702
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause unre-
pairable damage to the catalytic
converter.
