3Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The segments of
the fuel meter disappear from “F” (full)
towards “E” (empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When the last segment of
the fuel meter starts flashing, refuel as
soon as possible.
TIPIf a problem is detected in the electrical
circuit, the fuel meter segments will
flash repeatedly. If this occurs, 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.
Select the transmission gear that
is appropriate for the vehicle
speed.
Transmission gear display
The transmission gear display shows
the selected gear. The neutral position
is indicated by “–”.

The multi-function display can show:
an odometer
two tripmeters

tripmeter “TRIP CD” and flashes
10 times.
To reset the countdown tripmeter,
select it and while the digits flash,
push the bottom set button until it
is reset.
Instantaneous fuel consumption
This function calculates the fuel con-
sumption under current riding condi-
tions.
The instantaneous fuel consumption
display can be set to either “km/L”,
“L/100 km” when using kilometers.
To switch the the fuel consumption
units, push the top set button until the
measurement units change. When us-
ing miles, the fuel consumption unit is
“MPG”.
“km/L”: The distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 L of fuel under the
current riding conditions is shown.“L/100 km”: The amount of fuel
necessary to travel 100 km under
the current riding conditions is
shown.
“MPG”: The distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel un-
der the current riding conditions is
shown.
To switch the instantaneous fuel con-
sumption settings, push and hold the
left set button until the display chang-
es.

3This display shows the average fuel
consumption since it was last reset.
The average fuel consumption can be
set to either “AVE_ _._ km/L”, “AVE_
_._ L/100 km” when using kilometers.
To switch the fuel consumption units,
push the top set button until the mea-
surement units change. When using
miles, the fuel consumption is “AVE_
_._ MPG”.
“AVE_ _._ km/L”: The average dis-
tance that can be traveled on 1.0 L
of fuel is shown.
“AVE_ _._ L/100 km”: The average
amount of fuel necessary to travel
100 km is shown.
“AVE_ _._ MPG”: The average dis-
tance that can be traveled on
1.0 Imp.gal of fuel is shown.
To reset the average fuel consumption,
select it and while the digits flash push
the bottom set button until it is reset.
TIPAfter resetting the average fuel con-
the vehicle has traveled 1 km (0.6 mi).
Coolant temperature
This 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 it
cool. (See page 6-37.)TIPWhen 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
This display shows the air temperature
from –9 °C to 99 °C in 1 °C increments.TIPWhen the temperature is below –9
°C, “Lo” will be displayed.
The temperature displayed may
vary from the ambient tempera-

Operation and important riding points

5 The neutral indicator light should
come on and then the clutch lever
can be released.
WARNING
EWA17380
Improper braking can cause
loss of control or traction. Al-
ways use both brakes and apply
them smoothly.
Make sure that the motorcycle
and the engine have sufficiently
slowed before shifting to a low-
er gear. Engaging a lower gear
when the vehicle or engine
speed is too high could make
the rear wheel lose traction or
the engine to over-rev. This
could cause loss of control, an
accident and injury. It could also
cause engine or drive train dam-
age.
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).
EAU17214
ParkingWhen parking, stop the engine, and
then remove the key from the main
switch.
WARNING
EWA10312
Since the engine and exhaust
system can become very hot,
park in a place where pedestri-
ans or children are not likely to
touch them and be burned.
Do not park on a slope or on soft
ground, otherwise the vehicle
may overturn, increasing the
risk of a fuel leak and fire.
Do not park near grass or other
flammable materials which
might catch fire.
