3odometer mode or a tripmeter
mode, and then press the bottom
set button for three seconds.
Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle’s
traveling speed.
Tachometer
The tachometer allows the rider to
monitor the engine speed and keep it
within the ideal power range.NOTICE
ECA10032
Do not operate the engine in the ta-
chometer red zone.Red zone: 10000 r/min and above
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 tank) towards “E” (empty tank)
as the fuel level decreases. When the
last segment and frame start flashing,
refuel as soon as possible.TIPThis fuel meter is equipped with a self-
diagnosis system. If a problem is de-
tected in the fuel tank electrical circuit,
the fuel level segments, frame,and Ž will flash repeatedly. If this oc-
curs, have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle.
Eco indicator
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.TIPConsider the following tips to reduce
fuel consumption:
Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
Travel at a constant speed.

Transmission gear display
This display shows the selected gear.
The neutral position is indicated by “–”
and by the neutral indicator light.Multi-function display
The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:
an odometer
two tripmeters
a fuel reserve tripmeter
an instantaneous fuel consump-
tion display
an average fuel consumption dis-
play
a coolant temperature display
an air temperature display
a clock
a brightness control mode
The odometer shows the total distance
the vehicle has traveled.The tripmeters show the distance trav-
eled since they were last reset.
TIPThe odometer will lock at 999999
and cannot be reset.
The tripmeter will reset to 0 and
continue counting after 9999.9 is
reached.Push the bottom set button to switch
the display between odometer “ODO”,
tripmeters “TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2”, in-
stantaneous fuel consumption “km/L”

The fuel reserve tripmeter and er-
ror code displays come on auto-
matically, while the brightness
control mode is accessed sepa-
rately.If the lower segment and frame of the
fuel meter start flashing, the display
automatically changes to fuel reserve
tripmeter “TRIP F” and starts counting
the distance traveled from that point. In
this case, push the bottom set buttonto switch the display between the vari-
ous tripmeter, odometer, and fuel con-
sumption modes in the following order:
TRIP F → km/L or L/100 km → AVE_

AVE_ _._ MPG → _ _ °C → Air_ _ °C →
Clock _ _ :_ _ → ODO → TRIP 1 →
TRIP 2 → TRIP F
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the bottom set button, and then
push the top set button for one sec-
ond.
If you do not reset the fuel reserve trip-
meter manually, after refueling and
traveling 5km (3mi) it resets automati-
cally and disappears from the display.Instantaneous fuel consumption
The instantaneous fuel consumption
display can be set to either “km/L” or
“L/100 km”; or for the UK, “MPG” or
“km/L” or “L/100 km”.
“km/L”: The distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 L of fuel under cur-
rent riding conditions.
“L/100 km”: The amount of fuel
necessary to travel 100 km under
current riding.
“MPG” : The distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel un-
der current riding conditions.
To switch the instantaneous fuel con-
sumption display settings, push the
bottom set button for two second.

TIPIf traveling at speeds under 20 km/h
(12 mi/h), “_ _._” is displayed.Average fuel consumption
This display shows the average fuel
consumption since it was last reset.
The average fuel consumption display
can be set to either “AVE_ _._ km/L”,
“AVE_ _._ L/100 km” or “AVE_ _._
MPG” (for the UK).
“AVE_ _._ km/L”: The average dis-
tance that can be traveled on 1.0 L
of fuel.
“AVE_ _._ L/100 km”: The average
amount of fuel necessary to travel
100 km.“AVE_ _._ MPG” : The average
distance that can be traveled on
1.0 Imp.gal of fuel.
To switch the average fuel consump-
tion display settings, push the bottom
set button for two seconds.
To reset the average fuel consumption,
push the top set button for one sec-
ond.
TIPAfter resetting the average fuel con-

the vehicle has traveled 1 km (0.6 mi).Coolant temperatureThis display shows the coolant tem-
perature from 40 °C to 116 °C in 1 °C
increments.
If the message “HI” flashes, stop the
vehicle, then stop the engine and let
the it cool. (See page 6-39.)
TIPWhen the coolant temperature is
below 40 °C, “Lo” will be dis-
played.
The coolant temperature varies
with changes in the weather and
engine load.Air temperature

EAU16811
Tips for reducing fuel con-
sumptionFuel 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-inThere 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.
EAU17094
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 5000
r/min. NOTICE: After 1000 km (600
mi) of operation, the engine oil must
be changed and the oil filter car-
tridge or element replaced.
[ECA10303]
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 6000
r/min.1600 km (1000 mi) and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.
NOTICE
ECA10311
Keep the engine speed out of
the tachometer red zone.
If any engine trouble should oc-
cur during the engine break-in
period, immediately have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle.
