a digital clock
●
a digital speedometer (which
shows riding speed)
●
an odometer (which shows the to-
tal distance traveled)
●
a tripmeter (which shows the dis-
tance traveled since it was last set
to zero)
●
a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled on the
fuel reserve)
●
a fuel gauge
●
a self-diagnosis device
TIP●
Be sure to turn the key to “ ” be-
fore using the “RESET/SELECT”

play will automatically change to the
fuel reserve tripmeter mode “TRIP F”
and start counting the distance traveled
from that point. In that case, pushing
the “RESET/SELECT” button switches
the display between the various tripme-
ter and odometer modes in the follow-
ing order:
TRIP F → ODO → TRIP → TRIP FTo reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “RESET/SELECT” button, and
then push it again for at least three sec-
onds. If you do not reset the fuel re-
serve tripmeter manually, it will reset
itself automatically and the display will

●
Insufficient brake fluid may al-
low air to enter the brake sys-
tem, reducing braking
performance.
●
Clean the filler cap before re-
moving. Use only DOT 4 brake
fluid from a sealed container.
●
Use only the specified brake flu-
id; otherwise, the rubber seals
may deteriorate, causing leak-
age.
●
Refill with the same type of
brake fluid. Adding a brake fluid
other than DOT 4 may result in a
harmful chemical reaction.
●
Be careful that water does not
enter the brake fluid reservoir
when refilling. Water will signifi-
cantly lower the boiling point of
the fluid and may result in vapor
lock.
NOTICE
ECA17640
Brake fluid may damage painted sur-
faces or plastic parts. Always clean
up spilled fluid immediately.
As the brake pads wear, it is normal for
the brake fluid level to gradually go
down. A low brake fluid level may indi-
cate worn brake pads and/or brake sys-
tem leakage; therefore, be sure to
check the brake pads for wear and the
brake system for leakage. If the brake
fluid level goes down suddenly, have a
Yamaha dealer check the cause before
further riding.
EAUM1360
Changing the brake fluid Have a Yamaha dealer change the
brake fluid at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart. In addition, have the brake
hose replaced every four years or
whenever it is damaged or leaking.
