Tripmeter
display
The tripmeter display is equipped with
the following:  odometer
 tripmeter
 time tripmeter
 fuel reserve tripmeter
 oil change tripmeter
 V-belt replacement tripmeter
Push the “TRIP” switch to change the
display between the odometer “Odo”,
tripmeter “Trip”, time tripmeter “Trip
Time”, oil change tripmeter “Oil Trip”,
and V-belt replacement tripmeter “V-
Belt Trip” in the following order:
Odo → Trip → Trip Time → Oil Trip →
V-Belt Trip → Odo
TIPWhen approximately 2.4 L (0.63 US
gal, 0.53 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the last segment of the fuel
meter will start flashing. The display
will automatically change to the fuel re-
serve tripmeter “F Trip” and start
counting the distance traveled from
that point.Odometer “O do” an d tripmeter
“Trip”
The odometer shows the total distance
traveled by the vehicle.
The tripmeter shows the distance trav-
eled since it was last reset.
To reset the tripmeter, select it by
pushing the “TRIP” switch, and then
push the “TRIP” switch for three sec-
onds.TIP The odometer will lock at 999999.
 The tripmeter will reset and con-
tinue counting after 9999.9 is
reached.

gal, 0.53 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the last segment of the fuel
meter will start flashing. The display
will automatically change to the fuel re-
serve tripmeter “F Trip” and start
counting the distance traveled from
that point. In this case, push the “TRIP”
switch to switch the display in the fol-
lowing order:
F Trip
→ Oil Trip → V-Belt Trip → Odo
→ Trip → Trip Time → F Trip
To reset the fuel reserve tripmeter, se-
lect it by pushing the “TRIP” switch,
and then push the “TRIP” switch for
three seconds. The fuel reserve tripmeter will reset au-
tomatically and disappear after refuel-
ing and traveling 5 km (3 mi).
Oil chan
ge tripmeter “Oil Trip”
The oil change tripmeter shows the
distance traveled since the oil was last
changed.
The oil change indicator “OIL” flashes
at the initial 1000 km (600 mi), then at
4000 km (2400 mi) and every 5000 km
(3000 mi) thereafter to indicate that the
engine oil should be changed. After changing the engine oil, reset the
oil change indicator and the oil change
tripmeter. To reset them both, select

ment interval has been reached), the V-
belt replacement tripmeter must be re-
set for the V-belt replacement indicator
to come on at the correct time.Information

This function calculates the average
fuel consumption since it was last re-
set.
The average fuel consumption can be
displayed as either “Consump-
tion/Average_ _._ km/L”, “Consump-
tion/Average_ _._ L/100 km” or
“Consumption/Average_ _ _._ MPG”
(for the UK). 
“Consumption/Average_ _._
km/L”: The average distance that
can be traveled on 1.0 L of fuel is
shown.
 “Consumption/Average_ _._
L/100 km”: The average amount
of fuel necessary to travel 100 km
is shown.
 “Consumption/Average_ _ _._
MPG” (for the UK): The average
distance that can be traveled on
1.0 Imp.gal of fuel is shown.

travel 100 km under the current
riding conditions is shown.
 “Consumption_ _ _._MPG” (for the
UK): The distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel un-
der the current riding conditions is
shown.
TIPIf traveling at speeds under 10 km/h (6
mi/h), “_ _._” is displayed.Averag e speed d isplay
The average speed “Average_ _ _kmh”
or “Average_ _ _MPH” (for the UK) is
displayed. The average speed is the total distance

ECA16801
Use only the specifie d tires. (See
pa ge 7-20.) Usin g different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controllin g tire rotation
accurately.
Resettin g the traction control sys-
tem
The traction control system will auto-
matically disable under certain condi-
tions; such as when a sensor fault is
detected, or when only one wheel is al-
lowed to rotate for more than a few
seconds. Should this happen, the “ ”
indicator light will come on, and possi-
bly the “ ” warning light, too.TIPWhen the vehicle is on the centerstand,
do not rev the engine for an extended
period of time. Otherwise, the traction
control system will automatically dis-
able and need to be reset.
If the traction control system automat-
ically disables, try resetting it as fol-
lows. 1. Stop the vehicle and turn it off completely.
2. Wait a few seconds and then turn the vehicle power on.
3. The “ ” indicator light should turn off and the system be en-
abled.TIPIf the “ ” indicator light remains on af-
ter resetting, the vehicle may still be
ridden; however, have a Yamaha deal-
er check the vehicle as soon as possi-
ble.4. Have a Yamaha dealer check thevehicle and turn off the “ ”
