INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS
Oil change tripmeter
To reset the oil change tripmeter, se-
lect it by pushing the “SELECT” button
until “OIL CHANGE” and “OIL TRIP”
are displayed, and then push the “RE-
SET” button for at least 3 seconds.
After resetting, “OIL CHANGE” will
disappear.
Push the “SELECT” button again to
start the oil change tripmeter; the
display changes to V-belt tripmeter
mode.
Oil change indicator “OIL CHANGE”
This indicator will display at the initial
1000 km (625 mi), then at every 6000
km (3750 mi) thereafter to indicate
that the engine oil should be changed.
After changing the engine oil, reset
the oil change tripmeter.
If the engine oil is changed before
the oil change indicator displays
(i.e., before the periodic oil change
interval has been reached), the oil
change tripmeter must be reset after
the oil change for the next periodic oil
change to be indicated at the correct
time.
TIP● If the oil change tripmeter is reset
before the initial 1000 km (625
mi), the next periodic oil change
interval will be at every 6000 km
(3750 mi) thereafter.● If the oil change tripmeter in-
dicates “-----”, have a Yamaha
dealer check the multi-function
display, as it may be faulty.
V-belt replacement tripmeter
To reset the V-belt tripmeter, select it
by pushing the “SELECT” button until
“V-BELT” and “BELT TRIP” are dis-
played, and then push the “RESET”
button for at least 3 seconds. After
resetting, “V-BELT” will disappear.
Push the “SELECT” button again to
start the V-belt tripmeter; the display
changes to ODO mode.
V-belt change indicator “V-BELT”
This indicator comes on at every
20000 km (12500 mi) to indicate that
the V-belt should be replaced.
After replacing the V-belt, reset the V-
belt tripmeter.
If the V-belt is replaced before the
V-belt indicator comes on (i.e., be-
fore the periodic V-belt replacement
interval has been reached), the V-belt
tripmeter must be reset after replacing
the V-belt for the next periodic V-belt
replacement to be indicated at the cor-
rect time.TIPIf the V-belt change indicator displays
“-----”, have a Yamaha dealer check
the multi-function display, as it may be
faulty.
Ambient temperature display “OUT
TEMP”
This display shows the ambient tem-
perature from -10 °C to 40 °C in 1
°C increments. The temperature dis-
played may vary from the ambient
temperature.TIP● If the ambient temperature falls

This model is equipped with a unifi ed
brake system.
As this system is mechanical, addi-
tional free play can be felt in the front
brake lever when the rear brake lever
is being applied. See “Rear brake
lever” for detailed information on the
unifi ed brake system.

EWA10881
WARNING
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely ammable. To avoid res
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
sitting on the vehicle. Never re-
fuel while smoking, or while in the
vicinity of sparks, open fl ames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters
and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfi ll the fuel tank. When
refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank fi ll-
er hole. Stop fi lling 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.
3. Wipe up any spilled fuel im-
mediately.
NOTICE:
Immedi-
ately wipe off spilled fuel with a
clean, dry, soft cloth, since fuel
may deteriorate painted sur-
faces or plastic parts.[ECA10071]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel
tank cap.

WARNING
Gasoline is poisonous and can
cause injury or death. Handle
gasoline with care. Never siphon
gasoline by mouth. If you should

Recommended fuel:
REGULAR UNLEADED GASOLINE
ONLY
Fuel tank capacity:
8.0 L (2.11 US gal) (1.76 Imp.gal)
ECA11400
NOTICEUse only unleaded gasoline. The
use of leaded gasoline will cause
severe damage to internal engine
parts, such as the valves and pis-
ton rings, as well as to the exhaust
system.
Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use regular unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
91 or higher. If knocking (or pinging)
occurs, use a gasoline of a different
brand or premium unleaded fuel. Use of unleaded fuel will extend spark plug
life and reduce maintenance costs.
EAU13433
Catalytic converterThis model is equipped with a cata-
lytic converter in the exhaust system.
EWA10862
WARNING
The exhaust system is hot after op-
eration. To prevent a re 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
system has cooled down be-
fore 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.
