Safety information
1-5
1 operator and may limit control
ability, therefore, such accesso-
ries are not recommended.
Use caution when adding electri-
cal accessories. If electrical ac-
cessories exceed the capacity of
the motorcycle’s electrical sys-
tem, an electric failure could re-
sult, which could cause a
dangerous loss of lights or engine
power.
Aftermarket Tires and Rims
The tires and rims that came with your
motorcycle were designed to match
the performance capabilities and to
provide the best combination of han-
dling, braking, and comfort. Other
tires, rims, sizes, and combinations
may not be appropriate. See page 6-21
for tire specifications and for informa-
tion on servicing and replacing your
tires.
Transporting the Motorcycle
Be sure to observe following instruc-
tions before transporting the motorcy-
cle in another vehicle.
Remove all loose items from the
motorcycle.
Check that the fuel cock (if
equipped) is in the off position and
that there are no fuel leaks.
Shift the transmission into gear
(for models with a manual trans-
mission).
Secure the motorcycle with tie-
downs or suitable straps that are
attached to solid parts of the mo-
torcycle, such as the frame or up-
per front fork triple clamp (and not,
for example, to rubber-mountedhandlebars or turn signals, or
parts that could break). Choose
the location for the straps carefully
so the straps will not rub against
painted surfaces during transport.
The suspension should be com-
pressed somewhat by the tie-
downs, if possible, so that the mo-
torcycle will not bounce exces-
sively during transport.

WARNING
EWA12423
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
making any setting changes to the
multi-function meter unit. Changing
settings while riding can distract the
operator and increase the risk of an
accident.
TIP
The select switch “ / ” and the
menu switch “MENU” are located on
the left handlebar. These switches al-
low you to control or change the set-
tings of the multi-function meter unit.
The multi-function meter unit is
equipped with the following:
a speedometer
a tachometer
a clock
a fuel meter
an eco indicator
a transmission gear display
a drive mode display
a function display
an information display
a setting mode display
TIP
Be sure to turn the key to “ON” be-
fore attempting to use select
switch “ / ”, menu switch
“MENU”, “RESET” button or
“TCS” button.
To switch the meter displays be-
tween kilometers and miles, see
page 3-15.

3Tachometer
The electric tachometer allows the rid-
er to monitor the engine speed and
keep it within the ideal power range.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the ta-
chometer needle sweeps across the
r/min range and then returns to zero
r/min in order to test the electrical cir-
cuit.
NOTICE
ECA10032
Do not operate the engine in the ta-
chometer red zone.
Red zone: 9000 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) 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 once 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 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.
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.

3The following pages contain an expla-
nation of the grip warmer, information
display, and windshield functions. See
page 3-39 for an explanation of the
preload and damping force adjusting
functions.
Adjusting the grip warmer
This vehicle is equipped with grip
warmers, which can only be used
when the engine is running. There are 4
grip warmer settings.
To increase the grip warmer tempera-
ture, push the “ ” side of the select
switch. To decrease the grip warmer
temperature, push the “ ” side of the
select switch.
NOTICE
ECA17932
Be sure to wear gloves when
using the grip warmers.
Do not use the grip warmers in
warm weather.
If the handlebar grip or throttle
grip becomes worn or dam-
aged, stop using the grip warm-
ers and replace the grips.

There are 3 information displays. The
selected information display can be
switched by pushing the select switch.
The following items are shown in the
information displays:
an odometer display
tripmeter displays
a fuel reserve tripmeter display
an estimated traveling range dis-
play
an elapsed time display
an ambient temperature display

3 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).
Estimated traveling range display:
The distance that can be traveled with
the remaining fuel in the fuel tank under
the current riding conditions is shown.
Elapsed time display:
The time that has elapsed since the key
was turned to “ON” is shown. 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”
elapsed time displays, but they cannot
be set to the information display. See
“Setting mode” on page 3-15 for de-
tailed information.
Ambient temperature display:
This display shows the ambient tem-
perature from –9 °C to 50 °C in 1 °C in-
crements. The temperature displayed
may vary from the ambient tempera-
ture.
TIP
–9 °C will be displayed even if the
ambient temperature falls below
–9 °C.
50 °C will be displayed even if the
ambient temperature climbs
above 50 °C.
The accuracy of the temperature
reading may be affected when rid-
ing under 20 km/h (12 mi/h) or
when stopped at traffic signals
and railroad crossings.
Coolant temperature display:
The coolant temperature display indi-
cates the temperature of the coolant.
The coolant temperature varies with
changes in the weather and engine
load.If the message “Hi” flashes, stop the
vehicle, then stop the engine, and let
the engine cool. (See page 6-38.)
TIP
The selected information display can-
not be switched while the message
NOTICE
ECA10022
Do not continue to operate the en-
gine if it is overheating.
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.
