The multi-function meter unit is
equipped with the following:
 a speedometer
 a fuel meter
 a clock
 an outside air temperature display
 an odometer
 two tripmeters
 a fuel reserve tripmeter
 an oil change tripmeter
 a V-belt replacement tripmeter
 an oil change indicator
 a V-belt replacement indicatorTIPBe sure to turn the key to “ON” be-
fore using the “SELECT” and “RE-
SET” buttons.
 For the UK only: To switch the
speedometer and odometer/trip-
meter displays between kilome-
ters and miles, press the
“SELECT” button for at least one
second. 
If the coolant temperature warning
light and engine trouble warning
light remain on during the initial
display mode, have the battery
charged by a Yamaha dealer.
Speed ometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle’s
traveling speed. Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel meter disappear to-
wards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When the bottom segment
of the fuel meter and fuel level warning
indicator “ ” start flashing, refuel as
soon as possible. When the key is
turned to “ON”, all of the display seg-
ments of the fuel meter will appear for
a few seconds, and then the fuel meter

Push the “SELECT” button to switch
the display between the odometer
mode “ODO”, the tripmeter modes
“TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2”, the oil change
tripmeter mode “OIL TRIP” and the V-
belt replacement tripmeter mode
“BELT TRIP” in the following order:
ODO
→ TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → OIL TRIP
→ BELT TRIP → ODO
When approximately 1.6 L (0.42 US
gal, 0.35 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the bottom segment of the
fuel meter and fuel level warning indi-
cator will start flashing, and the display
will automatically change to the fuel re-
serve tripmeter mode “F” and start
counting the distance traveled from
that point. In this case, pushing the
“SELECT” button switches the display
between the various tripmeter and
odometer modes in the following or-
der:
F → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → OIL TRIP →
BELT TRIP → ODO → F
To reset tripmeters 1, 2, or the fuel re-
serve tripmeter, select it by pushing the
“SELECT” button, and then push the
“RESET” button for at least one sec-
ond. If you do not reset the fuel reserve tripmeter manually, it will reset itself
automatically and the display will re-
turn to the prior mode after refueling
and traveling 5 km (3 mi).
To reset the oil change tripmeter or V-
belt replacement tripmeter, select it by
pushing the “SELECT” button, and
then push the “RESET” button for
three to four seconds.
Oil chan
ge in dicator “OIL CHANGE”
This indicator will come on at the initial
1000 km (600 mi), then at 4000 km
(2500 mi) and every 4000 km (2500 mi)
thereafter to indicate that the engine oil
should be changed. After changing the engine oil, reset the
oil change indicator and the oil change
tripmeter. To reset them both, select
the oil change tripmeter, and then push
the “RESET” button for one second.
While “OIL CHANGE” is flashing, push
the “RESET” button for three seconds.
The oil change tripmeter will be reset
and the oil change indicator will go off.
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.

TIPEngine air filter and V-belt air filters
• This model’s engine air filter is equipped with a disposable oil-coated paper element, which must not be cleaned with compressed air to avoid damaging it.
• The engine air filter element needs to be replaced and the V-belt air filter elements need to be serviced more fre- quently when riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
 Hydraulic brake service
• After disassembling the brake master cylinders and calipers, always change the fluid. Regularly check the brake fluid levels and fill the reservoirs as required.
• Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers, and change the brake fluid.
• Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

Engine oil an d oil strainerThe engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil strainer
cleaned at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
To check the en gine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on the center- stand. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil set- tles, remove the engine oil filler
cap, wipe the engine oil dipstick
clean, insert it back into the oil fill-
er hole (without screwing it in), and
then remove it again to check the
oil level. WARNING! The muffler
an d muffler protector become
very hot d uring use. To avoi d
possi ble burns, let the muffler
an d protector cool b efore re-
movin g the oil filler cap.
[EWA17810]
TIPThe engine oil should be between the
tip of the dipstick and the maximum
level mark.4. If the engine oil is not between the
tip of the dipstick and the maxi-
mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.
5. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler hole, and then tighten the oil filler
cap. To chan
ge the en gine oil an d clean
the oil strainer 1. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it
off.
2. Place an oil pan under the engine to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the engine oil filler cap and engine oil drain bolts A and B
to drain the oil from the crankcase.
NOTICE: When removin g the
en gine oil d rain bolt B, the O-
rin g, compression spring , and
oil strainer will fall out. Take
care not to lose these parts.

damage and replace it if neces-
sary.
5. Check the O-ring for damage and replace it if necessary.
6. Install the engine oil strainer, com- pression spring, O-ring and en-
gine oil drain bolt B.
TIPMake sure that the O-ring is properly
seated.
7. Install engine oil drain bolt A, andthen tighten both drain bolts to
their specified torques.
8. Refill with the specified amount of the recommended engine oil, and
then install and tighten the oil filler
cap.TIPBe sure to wipe off spilled oil on any
parts after the engine and exhaust sys-
tem have cooled down.NOTICE

In or der to prevent clutch slip-
pa ge (since the en gine oil also
lu bricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives. Do not use oils with a
diesel speci-
fication of “CD” or oils of a hi gh-
er quality than specifie d. In
a ddition, do not use oils la beled
“ENERGY CONSERVING II” or
hi gher.
 Make sure that no forei gn mate-
rial enters the crankcase.
9. Start the engine, and then let it idle for several minutes while checking
it for oil leakage. If oil is leaking,
immediately turn the engine off
and check for the cause.
10. Turn the engine off, and then check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.
11. Reset the oil change tripmeter and oil change indicator “OIL
CHANGE”. (See page 3-6 for reset
procedures.)

clean up spille d flui d imme diately.As the brake pads wear, it is normal for
the brake fluid level to gradually go
down. A low brake fluid level may indi-
cate worn brake pads and/or brake
system leakage; therefore, be sure to
check the brake pads for wear and the
brake system for leakage. If the brake fluid level goes down suddenly, have a
Yamaha dealer check the cause before further riding.
