operator and may limit control
ability, therefore, such accesso-
ries are not recommended.
z 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 6-15
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. z Remove all loose items from the
motorcycle.
z Check that the fuel cock (if
equipped) is in the off position and
that there are no fuel leaks.
z Shift the transmission into gear
(for models with a manual trans-
mission).
z 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.
z 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.

button to switch the display between
the various tripmeter, odometer, in-
stantaneous fuel consumption and av-
erage fuel consumption modes in the
following order:
TRIP F
→ MPG, L/100 km or km/L →
AVE_ _._ MPG, AVE_ _._ L/100 km or
AVE_ _._ km/L → OIL TRIP → ODO →
TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → TRIP F
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SEL” button, and then push
the “RES” button for at least one sec-
ond.
If you do not reset the fuel reserve trip-
meter manually, it resets itself auto-
matically and the display returns to the
prior mode after refueling and traveling
5 km (3 mi).
TIP
z The odometer will lock at 999999.
z The tripmeters will reset and con-
tinue counting after 9999.9 is
reached.
Instantaneous fuel consumption
display
The instantaneous fuel consumption
display can be set to either “L/100 km”,
“km/L” or “MPG” (for the UK). z
“L/100 km”: The amount of fuel
necessary to travel 100 km under
the current riding conditions is
shown.
z “km/L”: The distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 L of fuel under the
current riding conditions is shown.
z “MPG” (for the UK): The distance
that can be traveled on 1.0 Imp.
gal of fuel under the current riding
conditions is shown.
To switch between the instantaneous
fuel consumption displays, push the
“SEL” button for one second.
TIP
If traveling at speeds under 20 km/h
(12 mi/h), “_ _._” is displayed.
Avera ge fuel consumption display
The average fuel consumption display
can be set to either “AVE_ _._ L/100
km”, “AVE_ _._ km/L” or “AVE_ _._
MPG” (for the UK).
This display shows the average fuel
consumption since it was last reset. z “AVE_ _._ L/100 km”: The average
amount of fuel necessary to travel
100 km is shown.
z “AVE_ _._ km/L”: The average dis-
tance that can be traveled on 1.0 L
of fuel is shown.

To set the shift activation point
TIP
The shift timing indicator light activa-
tion point can be set between 7000
r/min and 13500 r/min. From 7000 r/min to 12000 r/min, the indicator light

cle data to assist in the diagnosis of
malfunctions and for research and de-
velopment purposes. This data will be
uploaded only when a special Yamaha
diagnostic tool is attached to the vehi-
cle, such as when maintenance checks
or service procedures are performed.
Although the sensors and recorded
data will vary by model, the main data
points are:
z Vehicle status and engine perfor-
mance data
z Fuel-injection and emission-relat-
ed data
Yamaha will not disclose this data to a third party except: z With the consent of the vehicle
owner
z Where obligated by law
