TIPBe sure to turn the key to “ON” be-
fore using the “SELECT” switch.
 For the UK: To switch the speed-
ometer and odometer/tripmeter
displays between kilometers and
miles, select the odometer mode,
and then push the “SELECT”
switch for 5 seconds.Spee dometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle’s
traveling speed. O

tripmeter an d clock
The odometer shows the total distance
traveled.
The tripmeters show the distance trav-
eled since they last reset.
The fuel reserve tripmeter shows the
distance traveled since the fuel level
warning light came on.
The clock displays time in 12-hour for-
mat.
TIP The odometer will lock at 999999.
 The tripmeters will reset and con-
tinue counting after 999.9 is
reached.
In normal operation, use the “SELECT”
switch to change the display between
the odometer “ODO”, tripmeters “TRIP
1” and “TRIP 2”, and the clock in the
following order:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → clock →
ODO
If the fuel level warning light comes on
(see page 3-3), the display automati-
cally changes to the fuel reserve trip-
meter “TRIP F” and starts counting the
distance traveled from that point. In
this case, use the “SELECT” switch to
change the display between the vari-
ous tripmeters and the odometer in the
following order:
TRIP F → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → clock →
ODO → TRIP F
To reset a tripmeter, select it by using
the “SELECT” switch, and then push
the “SELECT” switch for one second. If
you do not reset the fuel reserve trip-
meter manually, after refueling and
traveling 5 km (3 mi) it will reset auto-
matically and disappear from the dis-
play.

Clutch leverThe clutch lever is located on the left
side of the handlebar. To disengage
the clutch, pull the lever toward the
handlebar grip. To engage the clutch,
release the lever. The lever should be
pulled rapidly and released slowly for
smooth clutch operation.
The clutch lever is equipped with a
clutch switch, which is part of the igni-
tion circuit cut-off system. (See page

ABSThe Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con-
trol system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently.
Operate the brakes with ABS as you
would conventional brakes. If the ABS
is activated, a pulsating sensation may
be felt at the brake lever or brake ped-
al. In this situation, continue to apply
the brakes and let the ABS work; do
not “pump” the brakes as this will re-
duce braking effectiveness.
WARNING
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient d istance
from the vehicle ahea d to match the
ri din g speed even with ABS.
 The ABS performs best with
lon g b rakin g d istances.
 On certain surfaces, such as
rou gh or g ravel roa ds, the b rak-
in g d istance may be lon ger with
the ABS than without.The ABS is monitored by an ECU,
which will revert the system to conven-
tional braking if a malfunction occurs.
TIP The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test each time the vehicle first
starts off after the key is turned to
“ON” and the vehicle has traveled
at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or
higher. During this test, a “click-
ing” noise can be heard from the
hydraulic control unit, and if the
brake lever or brake pedal is even
slightly applied, a vibration can be
felt at the lever and pedal, but
these do not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
 This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience
the pulsation at the brake lever or
brake pedal when the ABS is op-
erating. However, special tools are
required, so please consult your
Yamaha dealer.NOTICE
ECA20100
Be careful not to d amage the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of the
ABS will result.

Fuel tank capTo remove the fuel tank cap
1. Open the fuel tank cap lock cover.
2. Insert the key into the lock and turn it 1/4 turn clockwise. The lock
will be released and the fuel tank
cap can be removed.
To install the fuel tank cap 1. Push and install the fuel tank cap into position with the key inserted
in the lock.
2. Turn the key counterclockwise to the original position, and then re-
move it.
TIPThe fuel tank cap cannot be installed
unless the key is in the lock. In addi-
tion, the key cannot be removed if the
cap is not properly installed and
locked.3. Close the lock cover.
WARNING
EWA11142
Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly installe d before ri din g.

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.

TIPThis model is equipped with:  a lean angle sensor to stop the en-
gine in case of turnover. In this
case, turn the key “OFF” and then
to “ON” before attempting to re-
start the engine. Failing to do so
will prevent the engine from start-
ing even though the engine will
crank when the start switch is
pushed.
 an engine auto-stop system. The
engine stops automatically if left
idling for 20 minutes. In this case,
simply push the start switch to re-
start the engine.

Tips for re ducin g fuel con-
sumptionFuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follow-
ing tips to reduce fuel consumption:
 Shift up swiftly, and avoid high en-
gine speeds during acceleration.
 Do not rev the engine while shift-
ing down, and avoid high engine
speeds with no load on the en-
gine.
 Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length
of time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traf-
fic lights or at railroad crossings).
EAU16842
Engine break-inThere is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1600 km (1000 mi). For
this reason, you should read the fol-
lowing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
tle operation or any condition that
might result in engine overheating
must be avoided.
EAU17024
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/3
throttle. NOTICE: After 1000 km (600
mi) of operation, the en gine oil must
b e chan ged , an d the oil filter car-
tri dge or element replace d.
[ECA11283]
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
