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 circuit, all display segments of the
fuel meter will start flashing. If this oc-
curs, have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle.
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.

3 This timer shows the elapsed time
since the key was turned to “ON”. The
maximum time that can be shown is
99:59.
This timer automatically resets when
the key is turned to “OFF”.
TIP
There are also “TIME–2” and “TIME–3”
timer functions, but they cannot be set
to the information display pages. See
“Setting mode” on page 3-15 for more
information.
Air intake temperature:
This shows the temperature of the air
drawn into the air filter case. The dis-
play range is –9 °C to 93 °C in 1 °C in-
crements.
TIP

The displayed temperature may
vary from the actual ambient tem-
perature.
 The temperature reading may be
affected by engine heat when rid-
ing slowly (under 20 km/h [12
mi/h]) or when stopped at traffic
signals, etc.
Coolant temperature:
This shows the temperature of the
coolant. The coolant temperature will
vary with changes in the ambient tem-
perature and engine load.
If the message “Hi” flashes, stop the
vehicle, then stop the engine and let
the engine cool. (See page 6-41.)
TIP
The information display pages cannot
be rotated when the engine overheat
message “Hi” is flashing.
NOTICE
ECA10022
Do not continue to operate the en-
gine if it is overheatin g.
Average fuel consumption:
This function calculates the average
fuel consumption since it was last re-
set. The average fuel consumption can
be displayed as “km/L”, “L/100km” or
“MPG”.
 “km/L” shows the number of kilo-
meters traveled on one liter of fuel.
 “L/100km” shows how many liters
of fuel is needed to travel 100 km.

“MPG” shows the number of miles
traveled per Imp.gallon of fuel.
TIP
See “Selecting the units” on page 3-18
to change the kilometer-based fuel
consumption units or to switch to
miles.
To reset the average fuel consumption,
push the “RESET” button briefly so
that the average fuel consumption dis-
play flashes, and then push and hold
the “RESET” button for 2 seconds.
TIP
After resetting the average fuel con-
sumption, “_ _._” will be shown until
the vehicle has traveled 1 km (0.6 mi).
NOTICE
ECA15474
If there is a malfunction, “– –.–” will
be continuously displaye d. Have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
Instantaneous fuel consumption:
This function calculates the instanta-
neous fuel consumption under current
riding conditions. The instantaneous
fuel consumption can be displayed as
“km/L”, “L/100km” or “MPG”.
 “km/L” shows the number of kilo-
meters traveled on one liter of fuel.
 “L/100km” shows how many liters
of fuel is needed to travel 100 km.
 “MPG” shows the number of miles
traveled per Imp.gallon of fuel.
TIP
 See “Selecting the units” on page
3-18 to change the kilometer-
based fuel consumption units or
to switch to miles.
 When traveling under 10 km/h (6
mi/h), “_ _._” will be displayed.
NOTICE


Improper brakin g can cause
loss of control or traction. Al-
ways use b oth brakes an d apply
them smoothly.
 Make sure that the motorcycle
and the en gine have sufficiently
slowe d b efore shiftin g to a low-
er gear. En gag in g a lower gear
when the vehicle or en gine
speed is too hi gh coul d make
the rear wheel lose traction or
the en gine to over-rev. This
coul d cause loss of control, an
acci dent an d injury. It coul d also
cause en gine or drive train dam-

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).
