EAU87580Multi-function display
The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:
an odometer (ODO)
two tripmeters (TRIP 1 and TRIP 2)
a fuel reserve tripmeter (TRIP F)
an oil change tripmeter (OIL TRIP)
an oil change indicator
an instantaneous fuel consump-
tion display (km/L, L/100 km, or
MPG)
an average fuel consumption dis-
play (AVE_ _._ km/L, AVE_ _._
L/100 km, or AVE_ _._ MPG)
Push the “SELECT” button to change
the display in the following order:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → TRIP F →
km/L, L/100 km or MPG → AVE_ _._
km/L, AVE_ _._ L/100 km or AVE_ _._
MPG → OIL TRIP → ODO
TIP
The fuel reserve tripmeter appears only
when you are low on fuel.
EAU86890Odometer
The odometer shows the total distance
traveled by the vehicle.
TIP
The odometer will lock at 999999 and
cannot be reset.
EAU88050Tripmeters
The tripmeters show the distance trav-
eled since they were last reset.
To reset a tripmeter, change the dis-
play to the tripmeter you want to reset,
and then push the “RESET” button un-
til it is reset.
TIP
The tripmeters will reset and continue
counting after 9999.9 is reached.
EAU87600Fuel reserve tripmeter
If the last segment of the fuel meter
starts flashing, the display automati-
cally changes to the fuel reserve trip-
meter “TRIP F” and starts counting the
distance traveled from that point.
To reset the fuel reserve tripmeter,
push the “RESET” button until it is re-
set.
TIP
If you do not reset the fuel reserve trip-
meter manually, it will reset automati-
cally and disappear from the display
after refueling and traveling 5 km (3 mi).

EAU87680Oil change tripmeter
This tripmeter shows the distance trav-
eled since the last engine oil change.
The oil change indicator “OIL” will flash
at the initial 1000 km (600 mi), the next
4000 km (2500 mi), and then every
5000 km (3000 mi) thereafter.
To reset the oil change tripmeter and
oil change indicator, select the oil
change tripmeter, and then push the
“RESET” button until “OIL” and the
tripmeter start flashing. While “OIL”
and the tripmeter are flashing, push the
“RESET” button until the tripmeter is
reset.
TIP
When the engine oil has been
changed, the oil change tripmeter and
the oil change indicator must be reset.
Otherwise, the oil change indicator will
not come on at the correct time.
EAU87771Instantaneous fuel consumption
display
This display shows the fuel consump-
tion under the current riding condi-
tions. It can be set to either “km/L” or
“L/100 km”, or “MPG” when using
miles. To switch the fuel consumption
measurement units, push the “SE-
LECT” button until the measurement
units change.
“km/L”: the distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 L of fuel.
“L/100 km”: the amount of fuel
necessary to travel 100 km.
“MPG”: the distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel.

EAU15952
Read the Owner’s Manual carefully to
become familiar with all controls. If
there is a control or function you do not
understand, ask your Yamaha dealer.
WARNING
EWA10272
Failure to familiarize yourself with
the controls can lead to loss of con-
trol, which could cause an accident
or injury.
EAU16842
Engine break-in
There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1600 km (1000 mi). For
this reason, you should read the fol-
lowing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
tle operation or any condition that
might result in engine overheating
must be avoided.
EAU17094
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 7000
r/min. NOTICE: After 1000 km (600
mi) of operation, the engine oil must
be changed and the oil filter car-
tridge or element replaced.
[ECA10303]
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 8400
r/min.
1600 km (1000 mi) and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.
NOTICE
ECA10311
Keep the engine speed out of
the tachometer red zone.
If any engine trouble should oc-
cur during the engine break-in
period, immediately have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle.

TIP
Air filter
• This model’s air intake system is equipped with a disposable oil-coated pa-
per element. The air filter element cannot be cleaned with compressed air,
it must be replaced.
• The air filter element needs to be replaced more frequently when riding in
unusually wet or dusty areas.
Hydraulic brake service
• After disassembling the brake master cylinder and caliper, always change
the fluid. Regularly check the brake fluid level and fill the reservoir as re-
quired.
• Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cyl-
inder and caliper, and change the brake fluid.
• Replace the brake hose every four years and if cracked or damaged.

Canister
This model is equipped with a canister
to prevent the discharging of fuel vapor
into the atmosphere. Before operating
this vehicle, make sure to check the
following:
Check each hose connection.
Check each hose and canister for
cracks or damage. Replace if
damaged.
Make sure that the canister
breather is not blocked, and if
necessary, clean it.

Engine oil and oil filter car-
tridge
The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil filter car-
tridge replaced at the intervals speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil set-
tles, and then check the oil level
through the engine oil level check
window located at the bottom-
right side of the crankcase.
TIP
The engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.

mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.
To change the engine oil (with or
without oil filter cartridge replace-
ment)
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Place an oil pan under the engine
to collect the used oil.
4. Remove the cowling by removing
the bolts.
5. Remove the engine oil filler cap,
the engine oil drain bolt and its
gasket to drain the oil from the
crankcase.
TIP
Skip steps 6…8 if the oil filter cartridge
is not being replaced.
6. Remove the oil filter cartridge with
an oil filter wrench.
TIP
An oil filter wrench is available at a
Yamaha dealer.
7. Apply a thin coat of clean engine
oil to the O-ring of the new oil filter
cartridge.

with an oil filter wrench, and then
tighten it to the specified torque
with a torque wrench.
9. Install the engine oil drain bolt and
its new gasket, and then tighten
the bolt to the specified torque.
TIP
Install the new gasket as shown.
10. Refill with the specified amount of
the recommended engine oil, and
then install and tighten the oil filler
cap.
TIP
Be sure to wipe off spilled oil on any
parts after the engine and exhaust sys-
tem have cooled down.
NOTICE

In order to prevent clutch slip-
page (since the engine oil also
lubricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives. Do
not use oils with a diesel speci-
fication of “CD” or oils of a high-
er quality than specified. In

6A low brake fluid level may indi-
cate worn brake pads or brake
system 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 rid-
ing.
WARNING
EWA15991
Improper maintenance can result in
loss of braking ability. Observe
these precautions:
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.
EAU22734
Changing the brake fluid
Have a Yamaha dealer change the
brake fluid every 2 years. In addition,
have the seals of the master cylinders
and brake calipers, as well as the brake
hoses replaced at the intervals listed
below or sooner if they are damaged or
leaking.
Brake seals: every 2 years
Brake hoses: every 4 years
