
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
motorcycle, such as the frame or
upper front fork triple clamp (and
not, for example, to rubber-mount-
ed 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
motorcycle will not bounce exces-
sively during transport.

initially when the key is turned to “ON”,
if the indicator light remains on, or if the
indicator light flashes in a pattern (if a
problem is detected in the immobilizer
system, the immobili
zer system indica-
tor light will flash in a pattern), have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
TIPIf the immobilizer system indicator light
flashes in the pattern, slowly 5 times
then quickly 2 times, this could be
caused by transponder interference. Ifthis occurs, try the following.
1. Make sure there are no other im- mobilizer keys close to the main
switch. Other immobilizer system
keys may cause signal interfer-
ence and prevent the engine from
starting.
2. Use the code re-registering key to start the engine.
3. If the engine starts, turn it off, and try starting the engine with the
standard keys.
4. If one or both of the standard keys do not start the engine, take the
vehicle and all 3 keys to a Yamaha
dealer to have the standard keys re-registered.

Be sure to stop the vehicle before
making any setting changes to the
multi-function meter unit. Changing
settings while riding can distract the
operator and increase the risk of anaccident.TIP
The select switch “ / ” and the
menu switch “MENU” are located
on the left handlebar. These
switches allow you to control or
change the settings of the
multi-function meter unit.

QS requires an accessory part and
cannot be selected.

The key must be turned to “ON”
before you can use the handlebarswitches and buttons. Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle’s
traveling speed.
TIPTo switch between kilometers andmiles, see page 3-12.
Tachometer
The tachometer allows the rider to
monitor the engine speed and keep it
within the ideal power range.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the ta-
chometer will sweep across the r/min
range and then return to zero in order to
test the electrical circuit.NOTICE

Clock
The clock displays time in 12-hour for-
mat. To set the clock, see page 3-12.
Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel meter disappear from
“F” (full) towards “E” (empty) as the fuel
level decreases. When the last seg-
ment of the fuel meter starts flashing,
refuel as soon as possible.
TIP
When the key is first turned to
“ON”, all of the display segments
of the fuel meter will appear for a
few seconds before the fuel meter
shows the actual fuel level.

If a problem is detected in the fuel
meter electrical circuit, the fuel me-
ter will flash repeatedly. If this oc-curs, have a Yamaha dealer check
the vehicle.
Eco indicator
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.

TIPYou can select which items are shown
in each information display. See Set-ting mode on page 3-12.
Odometer and tripmeters
The odometer shows the total distance
traveled by the vehicle.
The tripmeters “TRIP-1” and “TRIP-2”
show the distance traveled since they
were last set.

When approximately 2.6 L (0.69 US gal,
0.57 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the fuel
tank, the last segment of the fuel meter
starts flashing. The display will change
to the fuel reserve tripmeter mode
“TRIP-F” and start counting the dis-
tance traveled from that point.

After refueling, you can manually reset
the fuel reserve tripmeter immediately,
or allow it to reset automatically after
traveling 5 km (3 mi). When the fuel re-
serve tripmeter is reset, it will disappear
from the display.
Elapsed time
This timer shows the time that has
elapsed since the key was turned to
“ON”. The timer automatically resets
when the key is turned to “OFF”.
TIPThere are also “TIME–2” and “TIME–3”
elapsed time displays, but they cannot
be set to the information display. See
Setting mode on page 3-12 for more in-
formation.
Air temperature
This shows the air temperature from –9
 C to 93 C in 1  C increments. The
temperature displayed may vary from
the ambient temperature.TIP
–9 C will be displayed even if the
ambient temperature falls below
–9 C.

The accuracy of the temperature
reading may be affected when rid-
ing slowly (under 20 km/h [13
mi/h]) or when stopped at trafficsignals, railroad crossings, etc.
Coolant temperature
This shows the temperature of the cool- ant. The coolant temperature varies
with changes in the weather and en-
gine load.
If the message “Hi” flashes, stop the ve-
hicle then stop the engine and let it
cool. (See page 6-40.)
TIPThe selected information display can-
not be switched while the message “Hi”is flashing.NOTICE

Average fuel consumption
This function calculates the average
fuel consumption (fuel economy) of the
vehicle since it was last reset. The av-
erage fuel consumption display can be
set to “km/L” or “L/100km”; or when
miles is selected “MPG” will be dis-
played.

The “km/L” display shows the av-
erage distance that can be trav-
eled on 1.0 L of fuel.

The “L/100km” display shows the
average amount of fuel necessary
to travel 100 km.

The “MPG” display shows the av-
erage distance that can be trav-
eled on 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel.
To reset the average fuel consumption
display, use the select switch to select
the information display that contains
the average fuel consumption display.
Push the “RESET” button briefly so that
the average fuel consumption display
flashes, and then push the “RESET”
button again for 2 seconds while the display is flashing.
TIPAfter resetting the average fuel con-
sumption display, “_ _._” will be shown
until the vehicle has traveled 1 km (0.6mi).NOTICE
ECA15474
If there is a malfunction, “– –.–” will
be continuously displayed. Have aYamaha dealer check the vehicle.
Instantaneous fuel consumption
This function calculates the instanta-
neous fuel consumption (fuel economy)
under current riding conditions. The in-
stantaneous fuel consumption display
can be set to “km/L” or “L/100km”; or
when miles is selected “MPG” will be
displayed.
The “km/L” display shows the dis-
tance that can be traveled on 1.0 L
of fuel.

The “L/100km” display shows the
amount of fuel necessary to travel
100 km.

The “MPG” display shows the dis-
tance that can be traveled on 1.0
Imp.gal of fuel.
TIPIf traveling at speeds under 10 km/h(6.0 mi/h), “_ _._” will be displayed.NOTICE
