V-belt replacement tripmeter
This tripmeter shows the distance trav-
eled since the V-belt was last replaced.
The V-belt replacement indicator “V-
BELT” will flash every 18000 km
(11200 mi) to indicate that the V-belt
should be replaced.To reset both the tripmeter and the in-
dicator, select the V-belt replacement
tripmeter, and then push the “MENU”
switch until “V-BELT” and the tripme-
ter start flashing. While “V-BELT” and
the tripmeter are flashing, push the
“MENU” switch until the tripmeter is
reset.
TIPWhen the V-belt is replaced, the trip-
meter and indicator must be reset.
Otherwise, the V-belt replacement in-
dicator will not come on at the correct
time.

Instantaneous fuel consumption
displayThis display shows fuel consumption
under current riding conditions. It can
be set to either “km/L” or “L/100 km”,
or “MPG” when using miles.
“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),

TIPThe ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test each time the vehicle first
starts off after the key is turned to
“ON” and the vehicle has traveled
at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or
higher. During this test, a “click-
ing” noise can be heard from the
front of the vehicle, and if either
brake lever is even slightly ap-
plied, a vibration can be felt at the
lever, but these do not indicate a
malfunction.
This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience
the pulsation at the brake levers
when the ABS is operating. How-
ever, special tools are required, so
please consult your Yamaha deal-
er.NOTICE

Be careful not to damage the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of the
ABS will result.

Traction control systemThe traction control system (TCS)
helps maintain traction when acceler-
ating on slippery surfaces, such as un-
paved or wet roads. If sensors detect
that the rear wheel is starting to slip
(uncontrolled spinning), the traction
control system assists by regulating
engine power until traction is restored.
When traction control has engaged,
the “ ” indicator light will flash. You
may notice changes in engine re-
sponse or exhaust sound.
WARNING
EWA18860
The traction control system is not a
substitute for riding appropriately
for the conditions. Traction control
cannot prevent loss of traction due
to excessive speed when entering
turns, when accelerating hard at a
sharp lean angle, or while braking,
and cannot prevent front wheel slip-
ping. As with any vehicle, approach
surfaces that may be slippery with
caution and avoid especially slip-
pery surfaces.

shown.
Periodically check the throttle grip free
play and, if necessary, have a Yamaha
dealer adjust it.
EAU21403
Valve clearanceThe valves are an important engine
component, and since valve clearance
changes with use, they must be
checked and adjusted at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
chart. Unadjusted valves can result in
improper air-fuel mixture, engine
noise, and eventually engine damage.
To prevent this from occurring, have
your Yamaha dealer check and adjust
the valve clearance at regular intervals.TIPThis service must be performed when
the engine is cold.
EAU69761
TiresTires are the only contact between the
vehicle and the road. Safety in all con-
ditions of riding depends on a relatively
small area of road contact. Therefore, it
is essential to maintain the tires in good
condition at all times and replace them
at the appropriate time with the speci-
fied tires.
Tire air pressure
The tire air pressure should be
checked and, if necessary, adjusted
before each ride.
WARNING
EWA10504
Operation of this vehicle with im-
proper tire pressure may cause se-
vere injury or death from loss of
control.
The tire air pressure must be
checked and adjusted on cold
tires (i.e., when the temperature
of the tires equals the ambient
temperature).
The tire air pressure must be
adjusted in accordance with the
riding speed and with the total
