operator and may limit control
ability, therefore, such accesso-
ries are not recommended.
 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. Refer to page
6-20 for tire specifications and more in-
formation on replacing your tires.
Transportin g the Motorcycle
Be sure to observe following instruc-
tions before transporting the motorcy-
cle in another vehicle.  Remove all loose items from the
motorcycle.
 Check that the fuel cock (if
equipped) is in the “OFF” position
and that there are no fuel leaks.
 Point the front wheel straight
ahead on the trailer or in the truck
bed, and choke it in a rail to pre-
vent movement.
 Shift the transmission in gear (for
models with a manual transmis-
sion).
 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.
 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.

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.

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.

The tripmeters will reset and con-
tinue counting after 9999.9 is
reached.
When approximately 5.5 L (1.45 US
gal, 1.21 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the last segment of the fuel
meter starts flashing. In addition, the
information display will automatically
change to the fuel reserve tripmeter
mode “TRIP-F” and start counting the
distance traveled from that point.
In this case, push the select switch to
switch the display in the following or-
der:
TRIP-F → Display–1 → Display–2 →
Display–3 → TRIP-F
To reset a tripmeter, use the select
switch to select the information display
that contains the tripmeter you want to
reset. Push the “RESET” button briefly
so that the tripmeter flashes, and then
push the “RESET” button again for 2
seconds while the tripmeter is flashing.
If you do not reset the fuel reserve trip-
meter manually, it will reset automati-
cally after refueling and traveling 5 km
(3 mi). Estimated traveling range display:
The distance that can be traveled with
the remaining fuel in the fuel tank under
the current riding conditions is shown.
Elapsed time display:
The time that has elapsed since the key
was turned to “ON” is shown. The
maximum time that can be shown is
99:59.
This timer automatically resets when
the key is turned to “OFF”.
TIP
There are also “TIME–2” and “TIME–3”
elapsed time displays, but they cannot
be set to the information display. See
“Setting mode” on page 3-16 for de-
tailed information.
Ambient temperature display:
This display shows the ambient tem-
perature from –9 °C to 50 °C in 1 °C in-
crements. The temperature displayed
may vary from the ambient tempera-
ture.

gine if it is overheating.
Average fuel consumption display:
The average fuel consumption display
modes “km/L”, “L/100km” or “MPG”
show the average fuel consumption
since the display was last reset.
 The “km/L” display shows the av-
erage distance that can be trav-
eled on 1.0 L of fuel.
 The “L/100km” display shows the
average amount of fuel necessary
to travel 100 km.
 The “MPG” display shows the av-
erage distance that can be trav-
eled on 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel.
To reset the average fuel consumption
display, use the select switch to select
the information display that contains
the average fuel consumption display.
Push the “RESET” button briefly so
that the average fuel consumption dis-
play flashes, and then push the “RE-
SET” button again for 2 seconds while
