wards “E” (empty) as the fuel level decreases. When the last segment
start flashing, refuel as soon as possi-
ble.
When the key is turned to “ ”, the dis-
play segments of the fuel meter will
sweep once across the fuel level range
and then return to the current amount
in order to test the electrical circuit.
TIPThe fuel meter is equipped with a self-
diagnostic function. If a problem is de-
tected in the fuel meter electrical cir-
cuit, the fuel meter will flash
repeatedly. If this occurs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.VVA in dicator

This model is equipped with variable
valve actuation (VVA) for good fuel
economy and acceleration in both the
low-speed and high-speed ranges.
The VVA indicator comes on when the
variable valve actuation system has
switched to the high-speed range.
Tachometer
The tachometer allows the rider to
monitor the engine speed and keep it
within the ideal power range.

necessary to travel 100 km under
the current riding conditions is
shown.
 “MPG” (for the UK): The distance
that can be traveled on
1.0 Imp.gal of fuel under the cur-
rent riding conditions is shown.
TIPIf traveling at speeds under 10
km/h (6 mi/h), “_ _._” is displayed.
 The instantaneous fuel consump-
tion function should be used for
general reference only. Do not use
this figure to estimate the distance
that can be traveled on the current
tank of fuel.

traveled on 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel is
shown.
To reset the average fuel consumption
display, push and hold the “RESET”
button.
TIP After resetting the average fuel
consumption, “_ _._” will be
shown until the vehicle has trav-
eled 1 km (0.6 mi).
The average fuel consumption
function should be used for gener-
al reference only. Do not use this
figure to estimate the distance
that can be traveled on the current
tank of fuel.

This mode cycles through five control
functions in the order listed below.  Brightness screen: the multi-func-
tion meter unit can be adjusted for
the brightness screen.
 Shift timing light flashing pattern:
this function allows you to choose
whether or not the indicator light
will come on and whether it should
flash or stay on when activated.
 Shift timing light activation point:
this function allows you to select
the engine speed at which the in-
dicator light is activated. 
Shift timing light deactivation
point: this function allows you to
select the engine speed at which
the indicator light is deactivated.
 Shift timing light brightness: this
function allows you to adjust the
brightness of the indicator light.
To adjust the brightness screen and
shift timing indicator light1. Turn the key to “ ”.
2. Push and hold the “SELECT” but- ton.
3. Turn the key to “ ”, and then re- lease the “SELECT” button after
five seconds. After that push the
“SELECT” button again. The
brightness screen can now be ad-
justed.
To set the brightness screen1. Push the “RESET” button to select the desired brightness level.
2. Push the “SELECT” button to confirm the selected brightness
screen level. The brightness
screen light changes to the shift
flashing pattern setting mode. To set the shift flashing pattern
1. Push the “RESET” button to select
one of the following flashing pat-
tern settings: On: the indicator light stays
on when activated. (This set-
ting is selected when the indi-
cator light stays on.)
 Flash: the indicator light
flashes when activated. (This
setting is selected when the
indicator light flashes four
times per second.)
 Off: the indicator light is deac-
tivated; in other words, it
does not come on or flash.
(This setting is selected when
the indicator light flashes
once every two seconds.)
2. Push the “SELECT” button to con- firm the selected flashing pattern.
The shift timing indicator light
changes to the activation point
setting mode.
The tachometer will show the current
setting r/min for the activation point
and deactivation point setting modes.

 Be sure to set the deactivation
point to a higher engine speed
than for the activation point, other-
wise the shift timing indicator light
will not come on.
1. Push the “RESET” button to select
the desired engine speed for de-
activating the indicator light.
2. Push the “SELECT” button to con- firm the selected engine speed.
The control mode changes to the
