Tachometer
The electric tachometer allows the rid-
er to monitor the engine speed and
keep it within the ideal power range.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the ta-
chometer needle sweeps once across
the r/min range and then returns to
zero r/min in order to test the electrical
circuit.
NOTICE
ECA10032
Do not operate the en
gine in the ta-
chometer red zone.
Re d zone: 9000 r/min an d a bove
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 the last seg-
ment starts flashing, refuel as soon as
possible.
When the key is turned to “ON”, all dis-
play segments come on in order to test
the electrical circuit.
TIP
If a problem is detected in the fuel me-
ter electrical circuit, the fuel meter dis-
play segments will flash repeatedly.
Have a Yamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle.
Eco in
dicator
This indicator comes on when the vehi-
cle 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.

Traction control system
The traction control system helps
maintain traction when accelerating on
slippery surfaces, such as unpaved or
wet roads. If sensors detect that the
rear wheel is starting to slip (uncon-
trolled spinning), the traction control
system assists by regulating engine
power as needed until traction is re-
stored. The “TCS” indicator/warning
light flashes to let the rider know that
traction control has engaged.
TIP
The rider may also notice slight chang-
es in engine and exhaust sounds when
the traction control system is engaged.
WARNING
EWA15432
The traction control system is not a
su bstitute for ri din g appropriately
for the con ditions. Traction control
cannot prevent loss of traction due
to excessive speed when entering
turns, when acceleratin g har d at a
sharp lean an gle, or while brakin g,
an d cannot prevent front wheel slip-
pin g. As with any motorcycle, ap-
proach surfaces that may b e
slippery with caution an d avoi d es-
pecially slippery surfaces.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the
traction control system automatically
turns on.
The traction control system can be
turned on or off manually only when the
key is in the “ON” position and the mo-
torcycle is stopped.
TIP
Turn the traction control system off to
help free the rear wheel if the motorcy-
cle gets stuck in mud, sand, or other
soft surfaces.
NOTICE
ECA16801
Use only the specifie d tires. (See
pa ge 6-20.) Usin g different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controllin g tire rotation
accurately.
Turnin g on/off the traction control
system
WARNING
EWA15441
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
makin g any settin g chan ges to the
traction control system. Chang ing
settin gs while ri din g can d istract the
operator an d increase the risk of an
acci dent.
To turn off the traction control system,
push the “TCS” button on the multi-
function meter unit for at least 2 sec-
onds. The “TCS” indicator/warning
light will come on.
To turn on the traction control system,
push the “TCS” button again. The
“TCS” indicator/warning light will go
off.

Resettin g
The traction control system will be dis-
abled in the following conditions:  The rear wheel is rotated with the
centerstand down and the key in
the “ON” position.
 Either the front wheel or rear wheel
comes off the ground while riding.
 Excessive rear wheel spinning.
If the traction control system has been
disabled, both the “TCS” indica-
tor/warning light and the engine trou-
ble warning light come on.
To reset the traction control system
Turn the key to “OFF”. Wait at least 1
second, then turn the key back to
“ON”. The “TCS” indicator/warning
light should go off and the system will
be enabled. The engine trouble warn-
ing light should go off after the motor-
cycle reaches at least 20 km/h (12
mi/h). If the “TCS” indicator/warning
light and/or engine trouble warning
light still remain on after resetting, the
motorcycle may still be ridden; howev-
er, have a Yamaha dealer check the
motorcycle as soon as possible.

Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
Gasoline an d gasoline vapors are
extremely flammab le. To avoid fires
an d explosions an d to re duce 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. 3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately. NOTICE: Immediately
wipe off spille d fuel with a clean,
d ry, soft cloth, since fuel may
d eteriorate painte d surfaces or
plastic parts.
[ECA10072]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel tank cap.
WARNING
EWA15152
Gasoline is poisonous an d can
cause injury or death. Han dle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gasoline
b y mouth. If you shoul d swallow
some gasoline or inhale a lot of gas-
oline vapor, or get some gasoline in
your eyes, see your d octor immedi-
ately. If g asoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap an d water. If g aso-
line spills on your clothin g, chan ge
your clothes.
EAU49743
NOTICE
ECA11401
Use only unlea ded g asoline. The use
of lead ed g asoline will cause severe
