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 parking the vehicle or leaving
the vehicle unattended, be sure to
turn the main switch off. If the Stop
and Start System is left turned on,
the battery could become dis-charged and it may not be possible
to restart the engine due to insuffi-
cient battery voltage.
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.

Multi-function display
The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:
an odometer (ODO)
two tripmeters (TRIP 1 and TRIP 2)
a fuel reserve tripmeter (TRIP F)
an oil change tripmeter (OIL TRIP)
an oil change indicator
a V-belt replacement tripmeter (V-
BELT TRIP)
a V-belt replacement indicator
an instantaneous fuel consump-
tion display (F/ECO)
an average fuel consumption dis-
play (AVE F/ECO)
a battery voltage display (BATT)a traction control system display
(TCS)
Push the “MENU” switch to change
the display in the following order:
ODO and F/ECO → TRIP 1 and AVE
F/ECO → TRIP 2 and AVE F/ECO →
TRIP F → BATT → TCS → OIL TRIP →
V-BELT TRIP → ODO and F/ECO
TIPThe fuel reserve tripmeter appears
only when you are low on fuel.
The oil change tripmeter and V-
belt replacement tripmeter are not
displayed while the vehicle is
moving.
There is an average fuel consump-
tion display for each tripmeter
(TRIP 1 and TRIP 2). When a trip-
meter is reset, the average fuel
consumption display for that trip-
meter will also be reset.
EAU86890
Odometer
The odometer shows the total distance
traveled by the vehicle.TIPThe odometer will lock at 999999 and
cannot be reset.

TIPWhen the engine oil has been
changed, the oil change tripmeter and
the oil change indicator must be reset.
Otherwise, the oil change indicator will
not come on at the correct time.
EAUN3070
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.
EAU86940
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),

6 This display shows the average fuel
consumption since it was last reset.
The average fuel consumption display
can be set to either “km/L” or “L/100
km”, or “MPG” when using miles.
“km/L”: the average distance that
can be traveled on 1.0 L of fuel.
“L/100 km”: the average amount
of fuel necessary to travel 100 km.
“MPG”: the average distance that
can be traveled on 1.0 Imp.gal of
fuel.
TIPTo reset the display, push the
“MENU” switch until it resets.
After resetting, “_ _._” is shown
until the vehicle has traveled some
distance.

Battery voltage display
This display shows the current charge
state of the battery.
Over 12.8 V = Full charge.
Under 12.7 V = Charging is re-
quired.TIPIf the battery voltage is less than 9.0 V,

EAU16782
Acceleration and decelerationThe speed can be adjusted by opening
and closing the throttle. To increase
the speed, turn the throttle grip in di-
rection (a). To reduce the speed, turn
the throttle grip in direction (b).
EAU60650
Braking
WARNING
EWA17790
Avoid braking hard or suddenly
(especially when leaning over to
one side), otherwise the vehicle
may skid or overturn.
Railroad crossings, streetcar
rails, iron plates on road con-
struction sites, and manhole
covers become extremely slip-
pery when wet. Therefore, slow
down when approaching such
areas and cross them with cau-
tion.
Keep in mind that braking on a
wet road is much more difficult.
Ride slowly down a hill, as brak-
ing downhill can be very diffi-
cult.1. Close the throttle completely.
2. Apply both front and rear brakes
simultaneously while gradually in-
creasing the pressure.
EAU16821
Tips for reducing 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).
