Safety information
1-5
1operator 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 an d 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 6-16
for tire specifications and for informa-
tion on servicing and replacing your
tires.
Transportin g 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-mounted
handlebars 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.

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 approximately
2.7 L (0.71 US gal, 0.59 Imp.gal) of fuel
remains, the last segment starts flash-
ing. Refuel as soon as possible.TIPIf a problem is detected in the electrical
circuit, the fuel level segments will flash
repeatedly. If this occurs, 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.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.

 two tripmeters (TRIP 1 and TRIP 2)
 a fuel reserve tripmeter (TRIP F)
 an instantaneous fuel consump-
tion display (km/L, L/100 km, or
MPG)
 an average fuel consumption dis-
play (AVE_ _._ km/L, AVE_ _._

d
isplay
This display shows the fuel consump-
tion under the current riding condi-
tions. It can be set to either “km/L” or
“L/100 km”, or “MPG” when using miles. To switch the fuel consumption
measurement units, push the “TRIP”
switch until the measurement units
change.
 “km/L”: the distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 L of fuel.
 “L/100 km”: the amount of fuel
necessary to travel 100 km.
 “MPG”: the distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel.
TIPWhen traveling under 10 km/h (6 mi/h),

function should be used for general
reference only. Do not use this figure to
estimate the distance that can be trav-
eled on the current tank of fuel.
