soon as possible.TIPIf a problem is detected in the electrical
circuit, the fuel meter segments will
flash repeatedly. If this occurs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.

 a countdown tripmeter
 a fuel reserve tripmeter
 an instantaneous fuel consump-
tion display
 an average fuel consumption dis-
play
 a coolant temperature display
 an air temperature display
 a brightness control mode The odometer shows the total distance
the vehicle has traveled. The standard
tripmeters show the distance traveled
since they were last reset. The count-
down tripmeter shows the remaining
distance to travel since it was last set.
The fuel reserve tripmeter shows the
distance traveled since the last seg-
ment of the fuel meter began flashing.
TIP
The odometer will lock at 999999
and cannot be reset.
 The tripmeter will reset to 0 and
continue counting after 9999.9 is
reached.

Brake ped alThe brake pedal is located on the right
side of the motorcycle. To apply the
rear brake, press down on the brake
pedal.

ABSThe anti-lock brake system (ABS) acts
on the front and rear brakes indepen-
dently.
WARNING
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient d istance
from the vehicle ahea d to match the
ri din g speed even with ABS.
 The ABS performs best with
lon g b rakin g d istances.
 On certain surfaces, such as
rou gh or g ravel roa ds, the b rak-
in g d istance may be lon ger with
the ABS than without.How to operate the brakes
Operate the brake lever and brake
pedal the same as you would conven-
tional brakes. If wheel slip is detected
while braking, ABS will activate and a
pulsating sensation may be felt at the
brake lever or brake pedal. Continue to
apply the brakes and let the ABS work.
Do not pump the brakes as this will re-
duce braking effectiveness. 
The ABS performs a self-check
when you first start off. During this
time a clicking noise from the hy-
draulic unit may be audible, and if
the brake lever or brake pedal is
applied a vibration can be felt, but
this is not a malfunction.
 The brake system will revert to a
conventional brake system in case
of ABS malfunction.
NOTICE

sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of the
ABS will result.

FuelMake sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
Gasoline an d gasoline vapors are
extremely flammab le. To avoid fires
an d explosions an d to re duce the
risk of injury when refuelin g, follow
these instructions.1. Before refueling, turn off the en- gine and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters
and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler
hole. Stop filling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the filler
tube. Because fuel expands when
it heats up, heat from the engine or
the sun can cause fuel to spill out
of the fuel tank. 3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately. NOTICE: Immediately
wipe off spille d fuel with a clean,
d ry, soft cloth, since fuel may
d eteriorate painte d surfaces or
plastic parts.
[ECA10072]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel tank cap.
WARNING
EWA15152
Gasoline is poisonous an d can cau-
se injury or death. Han dle gasoline
with care. Never siphon gasoline by
mouth. If you shoul d swallow some
g asoline or inhale a lot of gasoline
vapor, or get some g asoline in your
eyes, see your d octor immediately. If g
asoline spills on your skin, wash
with soap an d water. If g asoline
spills on your clothin g, chan ge your
clothes.
