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. See page 6-15
for tire specifications and for informa-
tion on servicing and 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.
 Shift the transmission into gear
(for models with a manual trans-
mission).
 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.

WARNING
EWA12423
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
makin g any settin g chan ges to the
multi-function meter unit. Chan gin g
settin gs while ri din g can d istract the
operator an d increase the risk of an
acci dent.TIP Except when accessing the
brightness control mode or when

minutes.
6. Push the left set button and then release it to start the clock.
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 starts 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 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.

 The fuel reserve tripmeter comes
on automatically, while the bright-
ness control mode is accessed
separately.Odometer an d tripmeters
The odometer shows the total distance
traveled by the vehicle.
The tripmeters show the distance trav-
eled since they were last reset.
To reset a tripmeter, use the left set
button to display the tripmeter you
want to reset, and then push the right
set button for one second.TIP The odometer will lock at 999999.
 The tripmeters will lock at 9999.9
but can be manually reset.Fuel reserve tripmeter
When the fuel level becomes low, the
last segment of the fuel meter will start
flashing. The fuel reserve tripmeter “TRIP F” will automatically appear 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 → _ _

TRIP 2 → TRIP F
For the UK:
TRIP F → km/L, L/100 km or MPG →
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
change 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.1. Instantaneous fuel consumption display

sumption settings, push and hold the
left set button until the display chang-
es.
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 and hold the left set
button until the display changes.
To reset the average fuel consumption,
push and hold the right set button until
the display changes.
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 6-37.)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.

Fuel tank capTo open the fuel tank cap
Open the fuel tank cap lock cover, in-
sert the key into the lock, and then turn
it 1/4 turn clockwise. The lock will be
released and the fuel tank cap can be
opened.
To close the fuel tank cap
With the key still inserted in the lock,
push down the fuel tank cap. Turn the
key 1/4 turn counterclockwise, remove
it, and then close the lock cover.
TIPThe fuel tank cap cannot be closed un-
less the key is in the lock. In addition,
the key cannot be removed if the cap is
not properly closed and locked.
WARNING

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.

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.
