Safety information
1-5
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 6-17
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.

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 approximately
2.5 L (0.66 US gal, 0.55 Imp.gal) of fuel
remains, the last segment starts flash-
ing. Refuel as soon as possible.TIPIf a problem is detected in the electrical
circuit, the fuel level segments will flash
repeatedly. If this occurs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.

Clock
The clock uses a 12-hour time system.
To set the clock1. Turn the vehicle off.
2. While holding the “RES” switch, turn the vehicle on. Continue hold-
ing the “RES” switch until the hour

Multi-function display The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:
 an odometer (ODO)
 two tripmeters (TRIP 1 and TRIP 2)
 a fuel reserve tripmeter (TRIP F)
 an instantaneous fuel consump-
tion display (km/L, L/100 km, or
MPG)
 an average fuel consumption dis-
play (AVE_ _._ km/L, AVE_ _._
L/100 km, or AVE_ _ _._ MPG)
 a coolant temperature display (_ _
°C)
 an air temperature display (Air_ _
°C)
Use the “SEL” switch to change the
display in the following order:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → TRIP F →
km/L or L/100 km or MPG → AVE_ _._
km/L or AVE_ _._ L/100 km or AVE_ _._

Instantaneous fuel consumption
d
isplay
This display shows the fuel consump-
tion under the current riding condi-
tions. It can be set to either “km/L” or
“L/100 km”, or “MPG” when using
miles. To switch the fuel consumption measurement units, hold the “SEL”
switch until the measurement units
change.
 “km/L”: the distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 L of fuel.
 “L/100 km”: the amount of fuel
necessary to travel 100 km.
 “MPG”: the distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel.
TIPWhen traveling under 10 km/h (6 mi/h),

EAU87790
TIPThe instantaneous fuel consumption
function should be used for general
reference only. Do not use this figure to
estimate the distance that can be trav-
eled on the current tank of fuel.

Averag e fuel consumption d isplay
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” or
“AVE_ _._ L/100 km”, or “AVE_ _._
MPG” when using miles. To switch the
fuel consumption measurement units,
hold the “SEL” switch until the mea-
surement units change.  “AVE_ _._ km/L”: the average dis-
tance that can be traveled on 1.0 L
of fuel.
