Safety information

1operator 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
6-16 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.

Immo bilizer system in dicator
lig ht “ ”
When the key is turned to “OFF” and
30 seconds have passed, the indicator
light will start flashing indicating the im-
mobilizer system is enabled. After 24
hours have passed, the indicator light
will stop flashing, however the immobi-
lizer system is still enabled.
The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked by turning the key
to “ON”. The indicator light should
come on for a few seconds, and then
go off.
If the indicator light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ON”,
or if the indicator light remains on, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.
The self-diagnosis device also detects
problems in the immobilizer system
circuits. (See page 3-12 for an expla-
nation of the self-diagnosis device.)

Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The segments of
the fuel meter disappear from “F” (full)
towards “E” (empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When the last segment of
the fuel meter and the fuel level warn-
ing indicator start flashing, refuel as
soon as possible.
TIPThe fuel meter is equipped with a self-
diagnosis function. If a problem is de-
tected in the fuel meter electrical cir-
cuit, the fuel meter and the fuel level
warning indicator will flash repeatedly.
If this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.Eco in dicator
The eco indicator comes on when the
vehicle is being operated in an environ-
mentally friendly, fuel-efficient manner.
The indicator goes off when the vehicle
is stopped.
TIPConsider 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.Transmission gear display
The transmission gear display shows
the selected gear. The neutral position
is indicated by “–” and by the neutral
indicator light.

Fuel reserve tripmeter
When the fuel level becomes low, the
fuel level warning indicator and the last
segment of the fuel meter will start
flashing. The display will change to the
fuel reserve tripmeter “TRIP F” and
start counting the distance traveled
from that point. In this case, push the
left set button to switch the display in
the following order:
TRIP F →
km/L or L/100 km → AVE_
_._ km/L or AVE_ _._ L/100 km → _ _
°C → Air_ _ °C → ODO → TRIP 1 →
TRIP 2 → TRIP F
For the UK:

AVE_ _._ km/L, AVE_ _._ L/100 km or
AVE_ _._ MPG → _ _ °C → Air_ _ °C →
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → TRIP F
TIPPush the right set button to chan-
ge the display in the reverse order. 
You can manually reset the fuel re-
serve tripmeter, or after refueling
and traveling 5 km (3 mi) it will re-
set automatically and disappear
from the display.
Instantaneous fuel consumption
This function calculates the fuel con-
sumption under current riding condi-
tions.
The instantaneous fuel consumption
can be set to either “km/L”, “L/100 km”
or “MPG” (for the UK).
 “km/L”: The distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 L of fuel under the
current riding conditions is shown. 
“L/100 km”: The amount of fuel
necessary to travel 100 km under
the current riding conditions is
shown.
 “MPG” (for the UK): The distance
that can be traveled on
1.0 Imp.gal of fuel under the cur-
rent riding conditions is shown.
To switch the instantaneous fuel con-
sumption settings, push the left set
button for one second.
TIPIf traveling at speeds under 20 km/h
(12 mi/h), “_ _._” is displayed.Avera ge fuel consumption

3 This function calculates the average
fuel consumption since it was last re-
set.
The average fuel consumption can be
set to either “AVE_ _._ km/L”, “AVE_
_._ L/100 km” or “AVE_ _._ MPG” (for
the UK).
 “AVE_ _._ km/L”: The average dis-
tance that can be traveled on 1.0 L
of fuel is shown.
 “AVE_ _._ L/100 km”: The average
amount of fuel necessary to travel
100 km is shown.
 “AVE_ _._ MPG” (for the UK): The
average distance that can be trav-
eled on 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel is
shown.
To switch the average fuel consump-
tion settings, push the left set button
for one second.
To reset the average fuel consumption,
push the right set button for at least
one second.
TIPAfter resetting the average fuel con-
sumption, “_ _._” will be shown until
the vehicle has traveled 1 km (0.6 mi).
Coolant temperature
This shows the coolant temperature
from 40 °C to 116 °C in 1 °C incre-
ments.
If the message “HI” flashes, stop the
vehicle, then stop the engine, and let it
cool. (See page 6-43.)TIP When the coolant temperature is
below 40 °C, “LO” will be dis-
played.
 The coolant temperature varies
with changes in the weather and
engine load.
Air temperature
This shows the air temperature from
–9 °C to 99 °C in 1 °C increments.
The temperature displayed may vary
from the ambient temperature.TIP When the temperature is below
–9 °C, “LO” will be displayed.
 The accuracy of the temperature
reading may be affected by engine
heat when riding slowly (under 20
km/h [12 mi/h]) or when stopped
at traffic signals, etc.

FuelMake sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
Gasoline an d g asoline vapors are
extremely flammab le. To avoid fires
an d explosions an d to re duce the
risk of injury when refuelin g, 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 painted surfaces or
plastic parts.
[ECA10072]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel tank cap.
WARNING
EWA15152
Gasoline is poisonous an d can cau-
se injury or death. Han dle gasoline
with care. Never siphon gasoline by
mouth. If you shoul d swallow some
g asoline or inhale a lot of g asoline
vapor, or g et some gasoline in your
eyes, see your d octor immediately. If g
asoline spills on your skin, wash
with soap an d water. If gasoline
spills on your clothin g, chan ge your
clothes.
