Do not continue to operate the en-
gine if it is overheating.TIPThe coolant temperature varies with
changes in the weather and engine
load.Transmission gear displayThis display shows the selected gear.
The neutral position is indicated by “ ”
and by the neutral indicator light.
Multi-function display
The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:
an odometer
two tripmeters
a fuel reserve tripmeter
an instantaneous fuel consump-
tion display
an average fuel consumption dis-
play
an oil change tripmeter
an oil change indicator
The odometer shows the total distance
traveled by the vehicle.The tripmeters show the distance trav-
eled since they were last set to zero.
Push the “SEL” button to switch the
display between the odometer mode
“ODO”, tripmeter modes “TRIP 1” and
“TRIP 2”, instantaneous fuel consump-
tion mode “km/L” or “L/100 km”, aver-
age fuel consumption mode “AVE_ _._
km/L” or “AVE_ _._ L/100 km” and oil
change tripmeter mode “OIL TRIP” in
the following order:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → km/L or
L/100 km → AVE_ _._ km/L or AVE_ _._
L/100 km → OIL TRIP → ODO
The fuel reserve tripmeter shows the
distance traveled since the fuel level
warning light came on.
If the left segment of the fuel meter
starts flashing, the display automati-
cally changes to the fuel reserve trip-
meter mode “TRIP F” and starts
counting the distance traveled from
that point. In that case, push the “SEL”
button to switch the display between

ond.
If you do not reset the fuel reserve trip-
meter manually, it resets itself auto-
matically and the display returns to the

5 km (3 mi).
TIPThe odometer will lock at 999999.
The tripmeters will reset and con-
tinue counting after 9999.9 is
reached.
Instantaneous fuel consumption
display
The instantaneous fuel consumption
display can be set to either “km/L” or
“L/100 km”.
“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.
To switch between the instantaneous
fuel consumption displays, push the
“SEL” button for one second.
TIPIf traveling at speeds under 20 km/h
Average fuel consumption display
The average fuel consumption display
can be set to either “AVE_ _._ km/L” or
“AVE_ _._ L/100 km”.
This display shows the average fuel
consumption since it was last reset.
“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.

To reset the average fuel consumption
display, push the “RES” button for at
least one second.
TIPAfter resetting the average fuel con-

the vehicle has traveled 1 km (0.6 mi).Oil change tripmeter
The oil change tripmeter shows the
distance traveled since it was last reset
(i.e., since the last oil change).The oil change indicator “OIL” will flash
at the initial 1000 km (600 mi), then at
5000 km (3000 mi) and every 5000 km
(3000 mi) thereafter to indicate that the
engine oil should be changed.
After changing the engine oil, reset the
oil change tripmeter and the oil change
indicator. To reset them both, select
the oil change tripmeter, and then push
the “RES” button for one second.
Then, while “OIL” and the oil change
tripmeter are flashing, push the “RES”
button for three seconds. The oil
change indicator will be reset.
If the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator comes on (i.e., be-
fore the periodic oil change interval has
been reached), the oil change tripmeter
must be reset for the next periodic oil
change to be indicated at the correct
time.Shift timing indicator light
The shift timing indicator light has four
settings which can be adjusted.
Flashing pattern: this function al-
lows you to choose whether or not
the indicator light will come on and
whether it should flash or stay on
when activated.
Activation point: this function al-
lows you to select the engine
speed at which the indicator light
is activated.
Deactivation point: this function

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
1. Push the fuel tank cap into posi-
tion with the key inserted in the
lock.
2. Turn the key counterclockwise to
the original position, 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
EWA11092
Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly closed after filling fuel.
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard.
EAU13222
FuelMake sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, 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 spilled fuel with a clean,
dry, soft cloth, since fuel may
deteriorate painted surfaces or
plastic parts.

4. Be sure to securely close the fuel
tank cap.
WARNING
EWA15152
Gasoline is poisonous and can
cause injury or death. Handle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gasoline
by mouth. If you should swallow
some gasoline or inhale a lot of gas-
oline vapor, or get some gasoline in
your eyes, see your doctor immedi-ately. If gasoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap and water. If gaso-
line spills on your clothing, change
your clothes.

NOTICE
ECA11401
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause severe
damage to internal engine parts,
such as the valves and piston rings,
as well as to the exhaust system.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 differentbrand or premium unleaded fuel. Use
of unleaded fuel will extend spark plug
life and reduce maintenance costs.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gaso-
hol containing ethanol and that con-
taining methanol. Gasohol containing
ethanol can be used if the ethanol con-
tent does not exceed 10% (E10). Gas-
ohol containing methanol is not
recommended by Yamaha because it
can cause damage to the fuel system
or vehicle performance problems.

Fuel tank breather hose and
overflow hoseBefore operating the motorcycle:
Check each hose connection.
Check each hose for cracks or
damage, and replace if necessary.
Make sure that the end of each
hose is not blocked, and clean if
necessary.
EAU13434
Catalytic converterThis model is equipped with a catalytic
converter in the exhaust system.
WARNING
EWA10863
The exhaust system is hot after op-
eration. To prevent a fire hazard or
burns:
Do not park the vehicle near
possible fire hazards such as
grass or other materials that
easily burn.
Park the vehicle in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch the hot
exhaust system.
Make sure that the exhaust sys-
tem has cooled down before
doing any maintenance work.
Do not allow the engine to idle
more than a few minutes. Long
idling can cause a build-up of
heat.
NOTICE

Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause unre-
pairable damage to the catalytic
converter.
