Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel meter disappear from
“F” (full) towards “E” (empty) as the fuel
level decreases. When the last seg-
ment starts flashing, refuel as soon as
possible.
TIPIf a problem is detected in the fuel me-
ter electrical circuit, the fuel meter will
flash repeatedly. Have a Yamaha deal-
er check the vehicle.
Coolant temperature meter
The coolant temperature varies with
changes in the weather and engine
load. If the top segment starts flashing,
the information display automatically
changes to “C-TEMP” and “Hi” flash-
es. Stop the vehicle and let the engine
cool. (See page 8-38.)TIPThe information display cannot be
changed while the engine is overheat-
ing.NOTICE

Eco in dicator
This indicator comes on when the vehi-
cle is being operated in an environ-
mentally friendly, fuel-efficient manner.
The indicator goes off when the vehicle
is stopped.TIPConsider the following tips to reduce
fuel consumption:  Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
 Travel at a constant speed.

If you do not reset the fuel reserve trip-
meter manually, it will reset automati-
cally after refueling and traveling 5 km
(3 mi).
TIPYou cannot enter setting mode (page
Estimated traveling range:The estimated distance that can be
traveled with the remaining fuel under
the current riding conditions is shown.
Ambient temperature:This shows the ambient temperature
from …9 °C to 50 °C in 1 °C increments.
The temperature displayed may vary
from the actual ambient temperature.
TIP
–9 °C will be displayed even if the
detected temperature is lower.
 50 °C will be displayed even if the
detected temperature is higher.
 The accuracy of the temperature
reading may be affected when rid-
ing under 20 km/h (12 mi/h) or
when stopped at traffic signals
and railroad crossings.Average fuel consumption:The average fuel consumption mode
“F.AVE” can be set to “km/L” or
“L/100km”. For UK-spec vehicles:
“MPG”. (See page 5-14.)
To reset the average fuel consumption,
use the select switch to select the in-
formation display page that contains
the average fuel consumption display.
Push the “ ” side of the select switch
so that the average fuel consumption
display flashes, and then push the “ ” side of the select switch again
for 1 second while the display is flash-
ing.
TIPAfter resetting the average fuel con-

until the vehicle has traveled 1 km (0.6
mi).NOTICE

Tips for re
ducin g 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).
EAU77962
Parkin gWhen parking, turn the vehicle power
off and then turn the smart key off.
If the sidestand is lowered when the
engine is running, the engine will stop
and the beeper will sound to prevent
you from forgetting to turn off the vehi-
cle power. To stop the beeper, turn the
vehicle power off or raise the side-
stand. When leaving the vehicle, make sure
you apply the steering lock and center-
stand lock. Take the smart key with
you.
