Stop and Start System

EAU76825
Stop and Start SystemThe Stop and Start System stops the
engine automatically when the vehicle
is stopped in order to prevent noise,
control exhaust emissions, and reduce
fuel consumption.
When the rider turns the throttle grip
slightly, the engine restarts automati-
cally and the vehicle starts off.NOTICE
ECA23961
When parkin g the vehicle or leavin g
the vehicle unatten ded , be sure to
turn the main switch off. If the Stop
an d Start System is left turne d on,
the battery coul d become dis- char
ged an d it may not be possi ble
to restart the en gine due to insuffi-
cient battery volta ge.
TIP Although the engine normally
stops at the same time as the ve-
hicle, there may be a delay when
operating the vehicle under 10
km/h, such as in heavy traffic.
 If you think the battery voltage is
low because the engine cannot be
started using the starter switch or
for some other reason, do not turn
on the Stop and Start System.
 Have a Yamaha dealer check the
battery at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance chart.

V-
belt replacement tripmeter “V-
Belt Trip”
The V-belt replacement tripmeter
shows the distance traveled since the
V-belt was last replaced.
The V-belt replacement indicator “V-
Belt” will flash every 18000 km (10500
mi) to indicate that the V-belt should be
replaced.
After replacing the V-belt, reset the V-
belt replacement indicator and the V-
belt replacement tripmeter. To reset
them both, select the V-belt replace-
ment tripmeter, and then push the
“TRIP” switch for three seconds. While the V-belt replacement tripmeter
is flashing, push the “TRIP” switch for
15 to 20 seconds. Release the “TRIP”
switch, and the V-belt trip value will re-
set to zero.
TIPIf the V-belt is replaced before the V-
belt replacement indicator comes on
(i.e., before the periodic V-belt replace-
ment interval has been reached), the V-
belt replacement tripmeter must be re-
set for the V-belt replacement indicator
to come on at the correct time.Information

“Consumption_ _ _._MPG” are not
displayed.
 When miles are selected for the
display units, “Consump-

and “Consumption_ _._ L/100 km”
are not displayed.Air temperature d isplay This display shows the air temperature
from –10 °C to 50 °C in 1 °C incre-
ments.
The icy road warning indicator “ ” will
flash when the temperature is below 4
°C.
The temperature displayed may vary
from the actual ambient temperature.
TIPThe accuracy of the temperature read-
ing may be affected by engine heat
when riding slowly (under 20 km/h [12
mi/h]) or when stopped at traffic sig-
nals, etc.Battery volta

This display shows the current charge
state of the battery.
TIP
If the engine turns over slowly
when using the start switch, have
a Yamaha dealer charge the bat-
tery.
 If “---” appears in the battery volt-
age display, have a Yamaha deal-
er check the battery.Traction control system display
This display shows the current status
of the traction control system. (See
page 5-15.)  “TCS ON”: the system is on
 “TCSOFF”: the system is off
TIPIf only “TCS” is displayed, there is a
communication error within the vehi-
cle. Have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle as soon as possible.Avera ge fuel consumption display
This function calculates the average
fuel consumption since it was last re-
set.
The average fuel consumption can be
displayed as either “Consump-
tion/Average_ _._ km/L”, “Consump-
tion/Average_ _._ L/100 km” or
“Consumption/Average_ _ _._ MPG”
(for the UK). 
“Consumption/Average_ _._
km/L”: The average distance that
can be traveled on 1.0 L of fuel is
shown.
 “Consumption/Average_ _._
L/100 km”: The average amount
of fuel necessary to travel 100 km
is shown.
 “Consumption/Average_ _ _._
MPG” (for the UK): The average
distance that can be traveled on
1.0 Imp.gal of fuel is shown.
To reset the average fuel consumption,
push the “INFO” switch for at least
three seconds.
TIPAfter resetting the average fuel con-
sumption, “_ _._” will be shown until
the vehicle has traveled 1 km (0.6 mi).

5 Instantaneous fuel consumption
d
isplay
This function calculates the fuel con-
sumption under current riding condi-
tions.
The instantaneous fuel consumption
can be displayed as either
“Consumption_ _._km/L”,
“Consumption_ _._L/100 km” or
“Consumption_ _ _._MPG” (for the
UK).  “Consumption_ _._km/L”: The
distance that can be traveled on
1.0 L of fuel under the current rid-
ing conditions is shown. 
“Consumption_ _._L/100 km”:
The amount of fuel necessary to
travel 100 km under the current
riding conditions is shown.
 “Consumption_ _ _._MPG” (for the
UK): The distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel un-
der the current riding conditions is
shown.
TIPIf traveling at speeds under 10 km/h (6
mi/h), “_ _._” is displayed.Averag e speed d isplay
The average speed “Average_ _ _kmh”
or “Average_ _ _MPH” (for the UK) is
displayed. The average speed is the total distance
divided by the total time (with the main
switch in the “ON” position) since the
display was last reset to zero.
This display shows the average speed
since it was last reset.
To reset the average speed display,
select it by pushing the “INFO” switch,
and then push the “INFO” switch for
three seconds.
Warnin
g messa ge function
This function displays a warning mes-
sage corresponding to the current
warning.
“L FUEL”: Appears when the last seg-
ment of the fuel meter starts flashing. If
“L FUEL” is displayed, refuel as soon
as possible.
“H TEMP”: Appears when the top seg-
ment of the coolant temperature meter
starts flashing. If “H TEMP” is dis-
played, stop the vehicle, then stop the
engine, and let the engine cool.
“ICE”: Appears when the icy road
warning indicator “ ” starts flashing. If
“ICE” is displayed, be careful of icy
roads.

Tips for re
ducin g fuel con-
sumptionFuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follow-
ing tips to reduce fuel consumption:
 Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
 Avoid high engine speeds with no
load on the engine.
 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).
EAUW4891
Parkin g When parking, turn off the Stop and
Start System and then stop the engine.
After turning off the main switch, be
sure to turn off the smart key and take
it with you.
WARNING
EWA18840
 Since the en gine an d exhaust
system can become very hot,
park in a place where pe destri-
ans or chil dren are not likely to
touch them and b e burne d.
 Do not park on a slope or on soft
groun d, otherwise the vehicle
may overturn, increasin g the
risk of a fuel leak an d fire.
 Do not park near grass or other
flammab le materials which
mi ght catch fire.
 If the Stop an d Start System is
left turne d on, the b attery coul d
b ecome dischar ged an d it may
not be possi ble to restart the
en gine due to insufficient b at-
tery volta ge.
