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 →

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.

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Engine air filter and V-belt air filter
• This model’s engine air filter is equipped with a disposable oil-coated paper element, which must not be cleaned
with compressed air to avoid damaging it.
• The engine air filter element needs to be replaced and the V-belt air filter element needs to be serviced more fre-
quently when riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
Hydraulic brake service
• After disassembling the brake master cylinders and calipers, always change the fluid. Regularly check the brake fluid
levels and fill the reservoirs as required.
• Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers, and change the brake
fluid.
• Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

Engine oil and oil strainerThe engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil strainer
cleaned at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on the center-
stand. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil set-
tles, remove the engine oil filler
cap, wipe the engine oil dipstick
clean, insert it back into the oil fill-
er hole (without screwing it in), and
then remove it again to check the
oil level. WARNING! The muffler
and muffler protector become
very hot during use. To avoid
possible burns, let the muffler
and protector cool before re-
moving the oil filler cap.
[EWA17810]
TIPThe engine oil should be between the
tip of the dipstick and the maximum
level mark.4. If the engine oil is not between the
tip of the dipstick and the maxi-
mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.
5. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler
hole, and then tighten the oil filler
cap.

NOTICE: When removing the
engine oil drain bolt B, the O-
ring, compression spring, and
oil strainer will fall out. Take
care not to lose these parts.
[ECAT1022]
4. Clean the engine oil strainer with
solvent, and then check it for
damage and replace it if neces-
sary.
5. Install the engine oil strainer, com-
pression spring, new O-ring and
engine oil drain bolt B.TIPMake sure that the O-ring is properly
seated.
6. Install engine oil drain bolt A and
its new gasket, and then tighten
both drain bolts to their specified
torques.
7. Refill with the specified amount of
the recommended engine oil, and
then install and tighten the oil filler
cap.TIPBe sure to wipe off spilled oil on any
parts after the engine and exhaust sys-
tem have cooled down.NOTICE

Why YamalubeYAMALUBE oil is a Genuine YAMAHA
Part born of the engineers’ passion
and belief that engine oil is an impor-
tant liquid engine component. We form
teams of specialists in the fields of me-
chanical engineering, chemistry, elec-
tronics and track testing, and have
them develop the engine together with
the oil it will use. Yamalube oils take full
advantage of the base oil’s qualities
and blend in the ideal balance of addi-
tives to make sure the final oil clears
our performance standards. Thus,
Yamalube mineral, semisynthetic and
synthetic oils have their own distinct
characters and value. Yamaha’s expe-
rience gained over many years of re-
search and development into oil since
the 1960’s helps make Yamalube the
best choice for your Yamaha engine.
EAU67822
Final transmission oilThe final transmission case must be
checked for oil leakage before each
ride. If any leakage is found, have a
Yamaha dealer check and repair your
motorcycle. In addition, the final trans-
mission oil must be changed as follows
at the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
1. Start the engine and warm up the
final transmission oil by riding the
motorcycle for several minutes.
2. Stop the engine and then place
the motorcycle on the center-
stand.
3. Place an oil pan under the final
transmission case to collect the
used oil.
4. Remove the final transmission oil
filler cap and its O-ring from the fi-
nal transmission case.
