1. Fuel reserve tripmeter
To reset a tripmeter, select it by pus-
hing the “SELECT” button until “Trip”
or “Trip F” begins flashing (“Trip” or
“Trip F” will only flash for five
seconds). While “Trip” or “Trip F” is
flashing, push the “RESET” button for
at least one second. If you do not
reset the fuel reserve tripmetermanually, it will reset itself automati-
cally and the display will return to the
prior mode after refueling and trave-
ling 5 km (3 mi).
TIP
The display cannot be changed back
to “Trip F” after pushing the “RESET”
button.
Fuel meter
With the key in the “ON” position, the
fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel meter disappear
towards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When the fuel level rea-
ches the bottom segment near “E”,
the fuel level warning indicator and
the bottom segment will flash. Refuel
as soon as possible.
Coolant temperature meter
With the key in the “ON” position, the
coolant temperature meter indicates
the temperature of the coolant. The
coolant temperature varies with chan-
ges in the weather and engine load. Ifthe top segment and coolant tempe-
rature warning indicator flash, stop
the vehicle and let the engine cool.
(See page 6-32).
ECA10021
Do not continue to operate the
engine if it is overheating.
Oil change indicator “OIL”
This indicator flashes at the initial
1000 km (600 mi), then at 4000 km
(2500 mi) and every 3000 km (1800
mi) thereafter to indicate that the
engine oil should be changed.
After changing the engine oil, reset
the oil change indicator. (See page
6-10).

If the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator comes on (i.e.
before the periodic oil change interval
has been reached), the indicator must
be reset after the oil change for the
next periodic oil change to be indica-
ted at the correct time. (See page
6-10).
The electrical circuit of the indicator
can be checked according to the
following procedure.1. Turn the key to “ON”.
2. Check that the indicator comes on for a few seconds and then
goes off.
3. If the indicator does not come on, have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.
V-belt replacement indicator “V-
BELT”
This indicator flashes every 20000 km
(12500 mi) when the V-belt needs to
be replaced.
The electrical circuit of the indicator
can be checked according to the
following procedure. 1. Turn the key to “ON”. 2. Check that the indicator comes
on for a few seconds and then
goes off.
3. If the indicator does not come on, have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.
Self-diagnosis device
This model is equipped with a self-
diagnosis device for various electrical
circuits.
If a problem is detected in any of tho-
se circuits, the multi-function display
will indicate an error code.
If the multi-function display indicates
such an error code, note the code
number, and then have a Yamaha
dealer check the vehicle.
ECA11790
If the multi-function display indica-
tes an error code, the vehicle
should be checked as soon as pos-
sible in order to avoid engine
damage.
The self-diagnosis device also
detects problems in the immobilizer
system circuits. If a problem is detected in the immobili-
zer system circuits, the immobilizer sys-
tem indicator light will flash and the mul-
ti-function display will indicate an error
code when the key is turned to “ON”.
TIP
If the multi-function display indicates
error code 52, this could be caused
by transponder interference. If this
error appears, try the following.

1. Use the code re-registering key
to start the engine.

EAU15596
Inspect your vehicle each time you use it to make sure the vehicle is in safe operating condition. Always follow the ins-
pection and maintenance procedures and schedules described in the Owner’s Manual.
EWA11151
Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an accident or equipment dama-
ge. Do not operate the vehicle if you find any problem. If a problem cannot be corrected by the procedures pro-
vided in this manual, have the vehicle inspected by a Yamaha dealer.
Before using this vehicle, check the following points:
WARNING
ITEM CHECKS PAGE
• Check fuel level in fuel tank.
Fuel• Refuel if necessary.3-15
• Check fuel line for leakage.
• Check oil level in engine.
Engine oil• If necessary, add recommended oil to specified level. 6-10
• Check vehicle for oil leakage.
Final transmission oil• Check vehicle for oil leakage. 6-12
• Check coolant level in reservoir.
Coolant• If necessary, add recommended coolant to specified level. 6-13
• Check cooling system for leakage.
• Check operation.
• If soft or spongy, have Yamaha dealer bleed hydraulic system.
• Check brake pads for wear.
Front brake• Replace if necessary. 6-19, 6-20, 6-21
• Check fluid level in reservoir.
• If necessary, add recommended brake fluid to specified level.
• Check hydraulic system for leakage.

EAU15951
Read the Owner’s Manual carefully to
become familiar with all controls. If
there is a control or function you do
not understand, ask your Yamaha
dealer.
EWA10271
Failure to familiarize yourself with
the controls can lead to loss of
control, which could cause an acci-
dent or injury.
EAU48020
TIP
This model is equipped with a lean
angle sensor to stop the engine in
case of a turnover. In this case, the
multi-function display indicates error
code 30, but this is not a malfunction.
Turn the key to “OFF” and then to
“ON” to clear the error code. Failing
to do so will prevent the engine from
starting even though the engine will
crank when pushing the start switch.

Starting the engineECA10250
See page 5-4 for engine break-in
instructions prior to operating the
vehicle for the first time.
In order for the ignition circuit cut-off
system to enable starting, the sides-
tand must be up.
See page 3-21 for more information.
1. Turn the key to “ON”.
The following warning light, indi-
cator light and indicators should
come on for a few seconds, then
go off.

EAU16820
Tips for reducing fuel
consumption
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follo-
wing 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 cros-
sings).
EAU16841
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 following 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 them-
selves to the correct operating clea-
rances. During this period, prolonged
full-throttle operation or any condition
that might result in engine overhea-
ting must be avoided.
EAUS1810
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above
4000 r/min. NOTICE: After 1000
km (600 mi) of operation, be
sure to replace the engine oil
and final transmission oil.
[ECA11661]
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above
6000 r/min.1600 km (1000 mi) and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated
normally.
ECA10310
Keep the engine speed out of
the tachometer red zone.
If any engine trouble should
occur during the engine break-
in period, immediately have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle.

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 bra-
ke fluid.
• Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.
