sumption settings, push the left set
button for one second.
TIPIf traveling at speeds under 20 km/h
(12 mi/h), “_ _._” is displayed.Averag
e fuel consumption
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 6-40.)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.

FuelMake sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
Gasoline an d gasoline 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.

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 should 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 g asoline
spills on your clothin g, chan ge your

Use only unlea ded g asoline. The use
of lea ded g asoline will cause severe
d amag e to internal en gine parts,
such as the valves an d piston rin gs,
as well as to the exhaust system.
TIP This mark identifies the recom-
mended fuel for this vehicle as
specified by European regulation
(EN228).
 Check that gasoline nozzle has
the same identifier when fueling.Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use regular unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
95 or higher. If knocking (or pinging)
occurs, use a gasoline of a different
brand or premium unleaded fuel. Use
of unleaded fuel will extend spark plug
life and reduce maintenance costs.
