12 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.
TIPIf a problem is detected in the fuel tank
electrical circuit, the fuel level seg-
ments, frame, and “ ” will flash repeat-
edly. Have a Yamaha dealer check thevehicle.
Eco indicator
This indicator comes on when the vehi-
cle is being operated in an environmen-
tally 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 vehiclespeed.Transmission gear display
This display shows the selected gear.
The neutral position is indicated by “ ”
and by the neutral indicator light.

This display indicates which drive
mode has been selected: “STD”, “A” or
“B”. For more details on the modes and
on how to select them, see pages 3-12
and 3-14.
TCS display
This display indicates which traction
control system setting has been select-
ed: “1”, “2” or “OFF”. For more details
on the TCS settings and on how to se-
lect them, see page 3-16.
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 level display
The odometer “ODO” shows the total
distance the vehicle has traveled. The tripmeters “TRIP” show the dis-
tance traveled since they were last re-
set.
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the bottom set button. The tripmeter
will flash for a few seconds. While the
tripmeter is flashing, push the top set
button until the display is reset.
TIP
The odometer will lock at 999999.

The tripmeters will reset and con-
tinue counting after 9999.9 isreached.
Changing the display item
Push the bottom set button to switch the
display between odometer “ODO”, trip-
meters “TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2”, instanta-
neous fuel consumption “km/L” or “L/100
km”, average fuel consumption “AVE_
_._ km/L” or “AVE_ _. _ L/100 km”, cool-
ant temperature “_ _ C”, ambient tem-
perature “Air_ _ C”, and clock “_ _:_ _”
in the following order:
ODO  TRIP 1  TRIP 2  (TRIP F)
 km/L or L/100 km  AVE_ _._ km/L
or AVE_ _._ L/100 km  _ _ C  Air_

TIP
Push the top set button to switch


The fuel reserve tripmeter “TRIPF” appears only when low on fuel.
When low on fuel, the display automat-
ically changes to “TRIP F” and starts
counting the distance traveled from that
point.
If you do not reset the fuel reserve trip-
meter manually, after refueling and
traveling 5 km (3 mi) 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 when using miles, to
“MPG” as well.

“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 conditions.

“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 until the display changes.
TIPIf traveling at speeds under 20 km/h (12mi/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” or
“AVE_ _._ L/100 km”, or when using
miles, to “AVE_ _._ MPG” as well.
“AVE_ _._ km/L”: The average dis-
tance that can be traveled on 1.0 L
of fuel.


“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 until the display changes.
To reset the average fuel consumption,
select it by pushing the bottom set but-
ton. The average fuel consumption dis-
play will flash for a few seconds. While
the display is flashing, push the top set
button until the display is reset.
TIPAfter resetting the average fuel con-
sumption, “_ _._” will be shown until thevehicle has traveled 1 km (0.6 mi). Coolant temperature
This display shows the coolant temper-
ature from 40
C to 116 C in 1  C incre-
ments.
If the message “HI” flashes, stop the
vehicle, then stop the engine and let it
cool. (See page 6-39.)
TIP
When the coolant temperature is
below 40 C, “Lo” will be displayed.

The coolant temperature varies
with changes in the weather andengine load. Air temperature
This display shows the air temperature
from –9 
C to 99 C in 1 C increments.
The temperature displayed may vary
from the actual ambient temperature.
TIP
When the air temperature is below
–9 C, “Lo” will be displayed.

The accuracy of the temperature
reading may be affected when rid-
ing slowly (under 20 km/h [12 mi/h])
or when stopped at traffic signals,railroad crossings, etc.

ShiftingShifting gears lets you control the
amount of engine power available for
starting off, accelerating, climbing hills,
etc.
The gear positions are shown in the il-
lustration.TIPTo shift the transmission into the neu-
tral position ( ), press the shift pedal
down repeatedly until it reaches the
end of its travel, and then slightly raiseit.
NOTICE
ECA10261

Even with the transmission in
the neutral position, do not
coast for long periods of time
with the engine off, and do not
tow the motorcycle for long dis-
tances. The transmission is
properly lubricated only when
the engine is running. Inade-
quate lubrication may damage
the transmission.

Always use the clutch while
changing gears to avoid damag-
ing the engine, transmission,
and drive train, which are not
designed to withstand theshock of forced shifting.
EAU16811
Tips for reducing fuel
consumptionFuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the following
tips to reduce fuel consumption:
Shift up swiftly, and avoid high en-
gine speeds during acceleration.

Do not rev the engine while shifting
down, and 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 traffic
lights or at railroad crossings).
