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 6-16
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.

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.TIPIf a problem is detected in the electrical
circuit, the fuel meter segments will
flash repeatedly. If this occurs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
Eco in dicator
This indicator comes on when the vehi-
cle 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.
 Select the transmission gear that
is appropriate for the vehicle
speed.

TIP
The odometer will lock at 999999
and cannot be reset.
 The tripmeter will reset to 0 and
continue counting after 9999.9 is
reached.Push the “TRIP” switch briefly to
switch the display in the following or-
der:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → TRIP F →

switch the display in the reverse
order.
 The display changes to fuel re-
serve tripmeter “TRIP F” when the
last segment of the fuel meter
starts flashing. 
To reset a tripmeter, select it by
pushing the “TRIP” switch or the
“INFO” switch, and while the dig-
its are flashing, push the “INFO”
switch until it is reset.
 If you do not reset the fuel reserve
tripmeter manually, it will reset au-
tomatically and disappear from
the display after refueling and
traveling 5 km (3 mi).
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
“TRIP” switch to switch the display in
the following order:
TRIP F → km/L or L/100 km → AVE_
_._ km/L or AVE_ _._ L/100 km → _ _

→ MPG → AVE_ _._ MPG → _
_ °C → Air_ _ °C → ODO → TRIP 1 →
TRIP 2 → TRIP F
TIPPush the “INFO” switch 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

sumption under current riding condi-
tions.1. Instantaneous fuel consumption display

The instantaneous fuel consumption
display can be set to either “km/L”,
“L/100 km” when using kilometers.
To switch the the fuel consumption
units, push the “TRIP” switch until the
measurement units change. When us-
ing miles, the fuel consumption unit is
“MPG”.
 “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”: The distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel un-
der the current riding conditions is
shown.
To switch the instantaneous fuel con-
sumption settings, push and hold
“TRIP” switch until the display chang-
es.
TIPIf traveling at speeds under 20 km/h
(12 mi/h), “_ _._” is displayed.
Avera ge fuel consumption
This display shows the average fuel
consumption since it was last reset.
The average fuel consumption can be
set to either “AVE_ _._ km/L”, “AVE_
_._ L/100 km” when using kilometers.
To switch the fuel consumption units,
when the display is steady, push the
“TRIP” switch until the measurement
units change. When using miles, the
fuel consumption is “AVE_ _._ MPG”.  “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”: The average dis-
tance that can be traveled on
1.0 Imp.gal of fuel is shown.
To reset the average fuel consumption,
select it and while the digits are flash-
ing push the “TRIP” switch until it is re-
set.
TIPAfter resetting the average fuel con-
sumption, “_ _._” will be shown until
the vehicle has traveled 1 km (0.6 mi).Coolant temperature
This display shows the coolant tem-
perature from 40 °C to 116 °C in 1 °C
increments.

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

Be careful not to damag e the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of the

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.
Leakin g fuel is a fire hazar d.
EAU13222
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 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 spille d fuel with a clean,
d ry, soft cloth, since fuel may
d eteriorate painte d surfaces or
plastic parts.
