Speedometer unit
1. Speedomenter unit
2. Odometer
The speedometer unit is equipped
with a speedometer, an odometer and
a tripmeter. The speedometer shows
riding speed. The odometer shows
the total distance traveled. The trip-
meter shows the distance traveled
since it was last set to zero.
Pushing the “TRIP” button switches
the display between the odometer
mode “ODO” and the tripmeter mode
“TRIP”. To reset the tripmeter, enter
the “TRIP” mode, and then hold down
the “TRIP” button for at least one
second. The tripmeter can be used
together with the fuel gauge to esti-mate the distance that can be trave-
led with a full tank of fuel. This infor-
mation will enable you to plan future
fuel stops.
Setting the odometer/tripmeter
reading mode
The odometer and tripmeter can be
set to count in either miles or kilome-
ters according to the following proce-
dure.
1. Turn the key to “ON” while pres-
sing the reset button.
2. Release the reset button when
the display comes on.
3. The current mode appears in the
display: “CONT” (continental) for
the kilometer mode and “EnGL”
(English) for the mile mode.
4. Press the reset button to switch
the mode.
5. Press the reset button for two
seconds to confirm the setting.
NOTE:
The odometer/tripmeter reading
mode can be changed any num-
ber of times while the odometer
reading is below 10, but it cannot
be changed anymore after the
reading has reached 10.
Switching between the mile and
the kilometer mode does not
change or convert the current
odometer/tripmeter reading.

When the key is turned to “OFF”, the
voltage/fuel gauge indicates the bat-
tery voltage.
NOTE:
If the battery voltage drops to 10 V,
have a Yamaha dealer check the bat-
tery.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the
voltage/fuel gauge indicates the
amount of fuel in the fuel tank after
indicating the battery voltage for two
seconds. The needle moves towards
“E” (empty) as the fuel level decrea-
ses. When the needle reaches “E”,
refuel as soon as possible.
NOTE:
Do not allow the fuel tank to empty
itself completely.

WARNING
Become thoroughly familiar
with all operating controls and
their functions before riding.
Consult a Yamaha dealer
regarding any control or func-
tion that you do not thoroughly
understand.
Never start the engine or ope-
rate it in a closed area for any
length of time. Exhaust fumes
are poisonous, and inhaling
them can cause loss of cons-
ciousness and death within a
short time. Always make sure
that there is adequate ventila-
tion.
For safety, always start the
engine with the centerstand
down.

Starting a cold engine
ECA10250
CAUTION
See page 5-3 for engine break-in
instructions prior to operating the
vehicle for the first time.
1. Turn the key to “f”.
2. Close the throttle completely.
3. Start the engine by pushing the
start switch while applying the
front or rear brake.
NOTE:
If the engine fails to start, release the
start switch, wait a few seconds, and
then try again. Each starting attempt
should be as short as possible to pre-
serve the battery. Do not crank the
engine more than 10 seconds on any
one attempt.
ECA11040
CAUTION
For maximum engine life, never
accelerate hard when the engine is
cold!

Periodic maintenance and lubrication chart
NOTE:
The annual checks must be performed every year, except if a kilometer-based maintenance is performed
instead.
From 50000 km, repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 10000 km.
Items marked with an asterisk should be performed by a Yamaha dealer as they require special tools, data and
technical skills.

WARNING
Securely support the motorcycle so
that there is no danger of it falling
over.
2. Hold the lower ends of the front
fork legs and try to move them
forward and backward. If any free
play can be felt, have a Yamaha
dealer check or repair the stee-
ring.
EAU23290
Checking the wheel bearings
The front and rear wheel bearings
must be checked at the intervals spe-
cified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart. If there is play in the
wheel hub or if the wheel does not
turn smoothly, have a Yamaha dealer
check the wheel bearings.
EAU23320
Battery
1. Battery
A poorly maintained battery will
corrode and discharge quickly. The
electrolyte level, battery lead connec-
tions and breather hose routing
should be checked before each ride
and at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.To check the electrolyte level
1. Place the vehicle on a level surfa-
ce and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
NOTE:
Make sure that the vehicle is positio-
ned straight up when checking the
electrolyte level.
2. Remove cowling A. (See page 6-5)
3. Check the electrolyte level in the
battery.
NOTE:
The electrolyte should be between
the minimum and maximum level
marks.
4. If the electrolyte is at or below the
minimum level mark, add distilled
water to raise it to the maximum
level mark.
