Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The segments of
the fuel meter disappear from “F” (full)
towards “E” (empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When the last segment of
the fuel meter starts flashing, refuel as
soon as possible.
TIP If a problem is detected in the fuel
meter, the all segments will flash
repeatedly. If this occurs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
 When approximately 2.3 L (0.61
US gal, 0.51 Imp.gal) of fuel re-
mains in the fuel tank, the last seg-
ment of the fuel meter will start
flashing. The display will automat-
ically change to the fuel reserve
tripmeter “F Trip” and start count-
ing the distance traveled from that
point.Coolant temperature meter The coolant temperature meter indi-
cates the temperature of the coolant.
If the top segment flashes, stop the ve-
hicle, then stop the engine, and let the
engine cool. (See page 8-33.)

En gine break-inThere is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1000 km (600 mi). For
this reason, you should read the fol-
lowing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1000 km (600 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
tle operation or any condition that
might result in engine overheating
must be avoided.
