1operator and may limit control
ability, therefore, such accesso-
ries are not recommended.
 Use caution when adding electri-
cal accessories. If electrical ac-
cessories exceed the capacity of
the motorcycle’s electrical sys-
tem, an electric failure could re-
sult, which could cause a
dangerous loss of lights or engine
power.
Aftermarket Tires an d Rims
The tires and rims that came with your
motorcycle were designed to match
the performance capabilities and to
provide the best combination of han-
dling, braking, and comfort. Other
tires, rims, sizes, and combinations
may not be appropriate. See page 6-16
for tire specifications and for informa-
tion on servicing and replacing your
tires.
Transportin g the Motorcycle
Be sure to observe following instruc-
tions before transporting the motorcy-
cle in another vehicle. 
Remove all loose items from the
motorcycle.
 Check that the fuel cock (if
equipped) is in the off position and
that there are no fuel leaks.
 Shift the transmission into gear
(for models with a manual trans-
mission).
 Secure the motorcycle with tie-
downs or suitable straps that are
attached to solid parts of the mo-
torcycle, such as the frame or up-
per front fork triple clamp (and not,
for example, to rubber-mounted
handlebars or turn signals, or
parts that could break). Choose
the location for the straps carefully
so the straps will not rub against
painted surfaces during transport.
 The suspension should be com-
pressed somewhat by the tie-
downs, if possible, so that the mo-
torcycle will not bounce exces-
sively during transport.

WARNING
EWA12423
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
makin g any settin g chan ges to the
multi-function meter unit. Chan gin g
settin gs while ri din g can distract the
operator an d increase the risk of an
acci dent.The multi-function meter unit is
equipped with the following:
 a speedometer
 a tachometer
 a fuel meter
 an eco indicator
 a transmission gear display
 a multi-function displayTIPExcept when switching to the
brightness control mode or to dis-
play the clock, turn the key to
“ON” before using the bottom and
top set buttons.
 For the UK: To switch the speed-
ometer and multi-function display
between kilometers and miles, set
the multi-function display to the odometer mode or a tripmeter
mode, and then press the bottom
set button for three seconds.
Speed
ometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle’s
traveling speed.
Tachometer
The tachometer allows the rider to
monitor the engine speed and keep it
within the ideal power range.NOTICE

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 tank) towards “E” (empty tank)
as the fuel level decreases. When the
last segment and frame start flashing,
refuel as soon as possible.TIPThis fuel meter is equipped with a self-
diagnosis system. If a problem is de-
tected in the fuel tank electrical circuit,
the fuel level segments, frame, and “ ” will flash repeatedly. If this oc-
curs, have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle.
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. 
Select the transmission gear that
is appropriate for the vehicle
speed.
Transmission gear display
This display shows the selected gear.
The neutral position is indicated by “–”
and by the neutral indicator light.

Multi-function
display
The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:  an odometer
 two tripmeters
 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 clock
 a brightness control mode
The odometer shows the total distance
the vehicle has traveled. The tripmeters show the distance trav-
eled since they were last reset.
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.Push the bottom set button to switch
the display between odometer “ODO”,
tripmeters “TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2”, in-
stantaneous fuel consumption “km/L”
or “L/100 km”, average fuel consump-
tion “AVE_ _._ km/L” or “AVE_ _._
L/100 km”, coolant temperature “_ _
°C”, ambient temperature “Air_ _ °C”,
and clock “_ _:_ _” in the following or-
der:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → km/L or
L/100 km → AVE_ _._ km/L or AVE_ _._

Clock _ _ :_ _ → ODO
For the UK:
Push the bottom set button to switch
the display between odometer “ODO”,
tripmeters “TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2”, in- stantaneous fuel consumption “km/L”,
“L/100 km” or “MPG”, average fuel
consumption “AVE_ _._ km/L”, “AVE_
_._ L/100 km” or “AVE_ _._ MPG”,
coolant temperature “_ _ °C”, and am-
bient temperature, and “Air_ _ °C”, and
clock “_ _:_ _” in the following order:
ODO
→ TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → km/L,
L/100 km or MPG → AVE_ _._ km/L,

TIP Push the top set button to switch
the display in the reverse order.
 The fuel reserve tripmeter and er-
ror code displays come on auto-
matically, while the brightness
control mode is accessed sepa-
rately.If the lower segment and frame of the
fuel meter start flashing, the display
automatically changes to fuel reserve
tripmeter “TRIP F” and starts counting
the distance traveled from that point. In
this case, push the bottom set button

To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the bottom set button, and then
push the top set button for one se-
cond.
If you do not reset the fuel reserve trip-
meter manually, after refueling and
traveling 5 km (3 mi) it resets automat-
ically and disappears from the display. Instantaneous fuel consumption
The instantaneous fuel consumption
display can be set to either “km/L” or
“L/100 km”; or for the UK, “MPG” or
“km/L” or “L/100 km”.
 “km/L”: The distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 L of fuel under cur-
rent riding conditions.
 “L/100 km”: The amount of fuel
necessary to travel 100 km under
current riding.
 “MPG”: The distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel un-
der current riding conditions.
To switch the instantaneous fuel con-
sumption display settings, push the
bottom set button for two second.
TIPIf traveling at speeds under 20 km/h
(12 mi/h), “_ _._” is displayed.Averag e fuel consumption
This display shows the average fuel
consumption since it was last reset.
The average fuel consumption display
can be set to either “AVE_ _._ km/L”,
“AVE_ _._ L/100 km” or “AVE_ _._
MPG” (for the UK).  “AVE_ _._ km/L”: The average dis-
tance that can be traveled on 1.0 L
of fuel.
 “AVE_ _._ L/100 km”: The average
amount of fuel necessary to travel
100 km.

“AVE_ _._ MPG”: The average dis-
tance that can be traveled on
1.0 Imp.gal of fuel.
To switch the average fuel consump-
tion display settings, push the bottom
set button for two seconds.
To reset the average fuel consumption,
push the top set button for one se-
cond.
TIPAfter resetting the average fuel con-
sumption, “_ _._” will be shown until
the vehicle has traveled 1 km (0.6 mi).Coolant temperature This display shows the coolant tem-
perature from 40 °C to 116 °C in 1 °C
increments.
If the message “HI” flashes, stop the
vehicle, then stop the engine and let
the it cool. (See page 6-39.)
TIP
When the coolant temperature is
below 40 °C, “Lo” will be dis-
played.
 The coolant temperature varies
with changes in the weather and
engine load.Air temperature This display shows the air temperature
from –9 °C to 99 °C in 1 °C increments.
The temperature displayed may vary
from the actual ambient temperature.
TIP
When the air temperature is below
–9 °C, “Lo” will be displayed.
 The accuracy of the temperature
reading may be affected when rid-
ing slowly (under 20 km/h [12.5
mi/h]) or when stopped at traffic
signals, railroad crossings, etc.Clock
