Multi-function meter unit
WARNING
EWA12421
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
making any setting changes to themulti-function meter unit.
The multi-function meter unit is
equipped with the following:
a speedometer (which shows the
riding speed)
a tachometer (which shows engine
speed)
an odometer (which shows the to-
tal distance traveled)
two tripmeters (which show the
distance traveled since they were
last set to zero)
a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled since
the left segment of the fuel meter
started flashing)
a clock
a fuel meter
a coolant temperature display
an air intake temperature display
a self-diagnosis device
an LCD and tachometer bright-
ness control mode
NOTE:
Be sure to turn the key to “ON” be-
fore using the “SELECT” and “RE-
SET” buttons.
For the U.K. only: To switch the
speedometer and odometer/trip-
meter displays between kilometers
and miles, press the “SELECT”button for at least one second.Tachometer
The electric tachometer allows the rider
to monitor the engine speed and keep it
within the ideal power range.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the ta-
chometer needle will sweep once
across the r/min range and then return
to zero r/min in order to test the electri-
cal circuit.
CAUTION:

then release it to start the clock.
Odometer and tripmeter modes
Push the “SELECT” button to switch
the display between the odometer
mode “ODO” and the tripmeter modes
“TRIP A” and “TRIP B” in the following
order:
TRIP A → TRIP B → ODO → TRIP A
When the fuel amount in the fuel tank
decreases to 3.6 L (0.95 US gal) (0.79
Imp.gal), the left segment of the fuel
meter will start flashing, and the odom-eter display will automatically change to
the fuel reserve tripmeter mode “F-
TRIP” and start counting the distance
traveled from that point. In that case,
push the “SELECT” button to switch the
display between the various tripmeter
and odometer modes in the following
order:
F-TRIP → TRIP A → TRIP B → ODO
→ F-TRIP
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button, and then
push the “RESET” button for at least
one second. If you do not reset the fuel
reserve tripmeter manually, it will reset
itself automatically and the display will
return to the prior mode after refueling
and traveling 5 km (3 mi).1. Clock

Brake lever The brake lever is located at the right
handlebar grip. To apply the front
brake, pull the lever toward the handle-
bar grip.
The brake lever is equipped with a po-
sition adjusting dial. To adjust the dis-
tance between the brake lever and the
handlebar grip, turn the adjusting dial
while holding the lever pushed away
from the handlebar grip. Make sure that
the appropriate setting on the adjusting
dial is aligned with the“” m ar k on the
brake lever.

Brake pedal The brake pedal is on the right side of
the motorcycle. To apply the rear
brake, press down on the brake pedal.
EAU26792
ABS (for ABS models) The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con-
trol system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently. The ABS is
monitored by an ECU (Electronic Con-
trol Unit), which will have recourse to
manual braking if a malfunction occurs.
WARNING
EWA10090
The ABS performs best on long
braking distances.
On certain (rough or gravel)
roads, the braking distance may
be longer with than without the
ABS. Therefore, always keep a
sufficient distance to the vehicle
ahead to match the ridingspeed.
NOTE:
When the ABS is activated, the
brakes are operated in the usual
way. A pulsating action may be felt
at the brake lever or brake pedal,
but this does not indicate a mal-
function.
