“ON” position, the clock can be viewed
for 10 seconds by pushing the left set
button.
To set the clock
1. Turn the key to “ON”.
2. Push the left set button and right
set button together for two sec-
onds. The hour digits will start
flashing.
3. Use the right set button to set the
hours.
4. Push the left set button, and the
minute digits will start flashing.
5. Use the right set button to set the
minutes.
6. Push the left set button and then
release it to start the clock.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
The fuel meter is equipped with a self-
diagnosis function. If a problem is de-
tected in the fuel meter electrical cir-
cuit, the fuel meter will flash
repeatedly. If this occurs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.

3 The eco indicator comes on when the
vehicle is being operated in an environ-
mentally friendly, fuel-efficient manner.
The indicator goes off when the vehicle
is stopped.
TIP
Consider 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
The transmission gear 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:
odometer
two tripmeters
fuel reserve tripmeter
instantaneous fuel consumption
average fuel consumption
coolant temperature
air temperature
brightness control mode
Navigating the multi-function dis-
play
Push the left set button to change the
display between the 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”, and air temperature “Air_ _ °C” in
the following order:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → km/L or
L/100 km → AVE_ _._ km/L or AVE_ _._

traveled on 1.0 L of fuel under the
current riding conditions is shown.
“L/100 km”: The amount of fuel
necessary to travel 100 km under
the current riding conditions is

Average fuel consumption
This function calculates the average
fuel consumption since it was last re-
set.
The average fuel consumption 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 is shown.“AVE_ _._ L/100 km”: The average
amount of fuel necessary to travel
100 km is shown.
“AVE_ _._ MPG” (for the UK): The
average distance that can be trav-
eled on 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel is
shown.
To switch the average fuel consump-
tion settings, push the left set button
for one second.
To reset the average fuel consumption,
push the right set button for at least
one second.
TIP
After resetting the average fuel con-

the vehicle has traveled 1 km (0.6 mi).
Coolant temperature
This shows the coolant temperature
from 40 °C to 116 °C in 1 °C incre-
ments.
If the message “HI” flashes, stop the
vehicle, then stop the engine, and let it
cool. (See page 6-40.)
TIP
When the coolant temperature is
below 40 °C, “LO” will be dis-
played.

Fuel tank cap
To open the fuel tank cap
Open the fuel tank cap lock cover, in-
sert the key into the lock, and then turn
it 1/4 turn clockwise. The lock will be
released and the fuel tank cap can be
opened.
To close the fuel tank cap
1. Push the fuel tank cap into posi-
tion with the key inserted in the
lock.
2. Turn the key counterclockwise to
the original position, remove it,
and then close the lock cover.
TIP
The fuel tank cap cannot be closed un-
less the key is in the lock. In addition,
the key cannot be removed if the cap is
not properly closed and locked.
WARNING
EWA11092
Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly closed after filling fuel.
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard.
EAU13222
Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, follow
these instructions.
1. Before refueling, turn off the en-
gine and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters
and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When
refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler
hole. Stop filling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the filler
tube. Because fuel expands when
it heats up, heat from the engine or
the sun can cause fuel to spill out
of the fuel tank.1. Unlock.

33. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately. NOTICE: Immediately
wipe off spilled fuel with a clean,
dry, soft cloth, since fuel may
deteriorate painted surfaces or
plastic parts.
[ECA10072]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel
tank cap.
WARNING
EWA15152
Gasoline is poisonous and can
cause injury or death. Handle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gasoline
by mouth. If you should swallow
some gasoline or inhale a lot of gas-
oline vapor, or get some gasoline in
your eyes, see your doctor immedi-
ately. If gasoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap and water. If gaso-
line spills on your clothing, change
your clothes.
EAU58111
NOTICE
ECA11401
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause severe
damage to internal engine parts,
such as the valves and piston rings,
as well as to the exhaust system.
Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use premium unleaded gas-
oline with a research octane number of95 or higher. If knocking (or pinging)
occurs, use a gasoline of a different
brand. Use of unleaded fuel will extend
spark plug life and reduce mainte-
nance costs.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gaso-
hol containing ethanol and that con-
taining methanol. Gasohol containing
ethanol can be used if the ethanol con-
tent does not exceed 10% (E10). Gas-
ohol containing methanol is not
recommended by Yamaha because it
can cause damage to the fuel system
or vehicle performance problems.
Recommended fuel:
Premium unleaded gasoline (Gaso-
hol [E10] acceptable)
Fuel tank capacity:
17.0 L (4.49 US gal, 3.74 Imp.gal)
Fuel reserve amount:
3.5 L (0.92 US gal, 0.77 Imp.gal)

Fuel tank breather hose and
overflow hose
Before operating the motorcycle:
Check each hose connection.
Check each hose for cracks or
damage, and replace if necessary.
Make sure that the end of each
hose is not blocked, and clean if
necessary.
Make sure that each hose is rout-
ed through the clamp.
Make sure that the paint mark on
each hose is below the clamp.
EAU13434
Catalytic converter
This model is equipped with a catalytic
converter in the exhaust system.
WARNING
EWA10863
The exhaust system is hot after op-
eration. To prevent a fire hazard or
burns:
Do not park the vehicle near
possible fire hazards such as
grass or other materials that
easily burn.
Park the vehicle in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch the hot
exhaust system.
Make sure that the exhaust sys-
tem has cooled down before
doing any maintenance work.
Do not allow the engine to idle
more than a few minutes. Long
idling can cause a build-up of
heat.
NOTICE

Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause unre-
pairable damage to the catalytic
converter.

Ignition circuit cut-off system
The ignition circuit cut-off system
(comprising the sidestand switch,
clutch switch and neutral switch) has
the following functions.
It prevents starting when the
transmission is in gear and the
sidestand is up, but the clutch le-
ver is not pulled.
It prevents starting when the
transmission is in gear and the
clutch lever is pulled, but the side-
stand is still down.
It cuts the running engine when
the transmission is in gear and the
sidestand is moved down.
Periodically check the operation of the
ignition circuit cut-off system accord-
ing to the following procedure.
