Odometer:
The odometer shows the total distance
traveled by the vehicle.
Tripmeter(s):
“TRIP1” and “TRIP2” show the distance
traveled since they were last set to ze-
ro.
When approximately 3.0 L (0.79 US gal,
0.66 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the fuel
tank, the last segment of the fuel meter
starts flashing. In addition, the informa-
tion display will automatically change to
the fuel reserve tripmeter mode
“F-TRIP” and start counting the dis-
tance traveled from that point.
In this case, push the select switch to
switch the display in the following order:
F-TRIP Display–1 Display–2
Display–3 F-TRIP
To reset a tripmeter, use the select switch to select the information display
page that contains the tripmeter you
want to reset. Push the “ ” side of the
select switch for one second so that the
tripmeter flashes, and then push the
“ ” side of the select switch again for
one second while the tripmeter is flash-
ing.
If you do not reset the fuel reserve trip-
meter manually, it will reset automati-
cally after refueling and traveling 5 km
(3 mi).
TIP
The odometer will lock at 999999.
The tripmeters will reset and con-
tinue counting after 9999.9 is
reached.
Display cannot switch to setting
mode display when the “F-TRIP”
indicated.
Estimated traveling range:
The estimated distance that can be
traveled with the remaining fuel under
the current riding conditions is shown.
Ambient temperature:
This display shows the ambient tem-
perature from –9 C to 50 C in 1  C in-
crements. The temperature displayed
may vary from the actual ambient tem-
perature.

Fuel
Make 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 vicin-
ity 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 deteri-
orate painted surfaces or plastic
parts.
[ECA10072]
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 gaso-
line 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.
EAU79080
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.

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) oc-
curs, use a gasoline of a different
brand. 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 contain-
ing 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.
EAU58301
Fuel tank overflow hose
Before operating the vehicle:
Check the fuel t ank overflow hose
connection and routing.
Check the fuel t ank overflow hose
for cracks or damage, and replace
it if necessary.
Make sure that the fuel tank over-
flow hose is not blocked, and clean
it if necessary.

ating condition. Always follow the in spection and maintenance procedures and
schedules described in the Owner’s Manual.
WARNING
EWA11152

Refuel if necessary.
Check fuel line for leakage.
Check fuel tank breather hose and overflow hose for
obstructions, cracks or damage, and check hose
connections. 5-21,
5-22
Engine oil Check oil level in engine.
If necessary, add recommended oil to specified level.
Check vehicle for oil leakage. 8-10
Coolant Check coolant level in reservoir.
If necessary, add recommended coolant to specified
level.
Check cooling system for leakage. 8-14
Front brake Check operation.
If soft or spongy, have Yamaha dealer bleed hydraulic
system.
Check brake pads for wear.
Replace if necessary.
Check fluid level in reservoir.
If necessary, add specified brak e fluid to specified level.
Check hydraulic system for leakage. 8-20,
8-22, 8-23
Rear brake Check operation.
If soft or spongy, have Yamaha dealer bleed hydraulic
system.
Check brake pads for wear.

Tips for reducing fuel
consumption
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the following
tips to reduce fuel consumption:
Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
Avoid high engine speeds with no
load on the engine.
Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length of
time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traffic
lights or at railroad crossings).
EAU16842
Engine break-in
There 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 follow-
ing 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.
EAU36532
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 5100
r/min . NOTICE: After 1000 km (600
mi) of operation, the engine oil must
be changed, and the oil filter car-
tridge or element replaced.
[ECA11283]
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 6100
r/min.
1600 km (1000 mi) and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.
NOTICE
ECA10311
Keep the engine speed out of
the tachometer red zone.
If any engine trouble should oc-
cur during the engine break-in
period, immediately have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle.

Parking
When parking, turn the vehicle power
off and then the smart key off.
When leaving the vehicle, make sure
you apply the steering lock and center-
stand lock. Take the smart key with
you. It is recommended that you turn
the smart key off.
WARNING
EWA10312
Since the engine and exhaust
system can become very hot,
park in a place where pedestri-
ans or children are not likely to
touch them and be burned.
Do not park on a slope or on soft
ground, otherwise the vehicle
may overturn, increasing the
risk of a fuel leak and fire.
Do not park near grass or other
flammable materials which
might catch fire.
TIP
Even when the vehicle is parked in a lo-
cation partitioned by a fence or the
glass window of a shop, if the smart key
is within operating range, other people
will be able to start the engine and op-
erate the vehicle. Please turn the smart
key off when leaving the vehicle. (See
page 3-5.)
