V-
belt replacement tripmeter “V-
Belt Trip”
The V-belt replacement tripmeter
shows the distance traveled since the
V-belt was last replaced.
The V-belt replacement indicator “V-
Belt” will flash every 18000 km (10500
mi) to indicate that the V-belt should be
replaced.
After replacing the V-belt, reset the V-
belt replacement indicator and the V-
belt replacement tripmeter. To reset
them both, select the V-belt replace-
ment tripmeter, and then push the
“TRIP” switch for three seconds. While the V-belt replacement tripmeter
is flashing, push the “TRIP” switch for
15 to 20 seconds. Release the “TRIP”
switch, and the V-belt trip value will re-
set to zero.
TIPIf the V-belt is replaced before the V-
belt replacement indicator comes on
(i.e., before the periodic V-belt replace-
ment interval has been reached), the V-
belt replacement tripmeter must be re-
set for the V-belt replacement indicator
to come on at the correct time.Information

cle. Have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle as soon as possible.Avera ge fuel consumption display
This function calculates the average
fuel consumption since it was last re-
set.
The average fuel consumption can be
displayed as either “Consump-
tion/Average_ _._ km/L”, “Consump-
tion/Average_ _._ L/100 km” or
“Consumption/Average_ _ _._ MPG”
(for the UK). 
“Consumption/Average_ _._
km/L”: The average distance that
can be traveled on 1.0 L of fuel is
shown.
 “Consumption/Average_ _._
L/100 km”: The average amount
of fuel necessary to travel 100 km
is shown.
 “Consumption/Average_ _ _._
MPG” (for the UK): The average
distance that can be traveled on
1.0 Imp.gal of fuel is shown.

isplay
This function calculates the fuel con-
sumption under current riding condi-
tions.
The instantaneous fuel consumption
can be displayed as either
“Consumption_ _._km/L”,
“Consumption_ _._L/100 km” or
“Consumption_ _ _._MPG” (for the
UK).  “Consumption_ _._km/L”: The
distance that can be traveled on
1.0 L of fuel under the current rid-
ing conditions is shown. 
“Consumption_ _._L/100 km”:
The amount of fuel necessary to
travel 100 km under the current
riding conditions is shown.
 “Consumption_ _ _._MPG” (for the
UK): The distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel un-
der the current riding conditions is
shown.
TIPIf traveling at speeds under 10 km/h (6
mi/h), “_ _._” is displayed.Averag e speed d isplay
The average speed “Average_ _ _kmh”
or “Average_ _ _MPH” (for the UK) is
displayed. The average speed is the total distance
divided by the total time (with the main
switch in the “ON” position) since the
display was last reset to zero.
This display shows the average speed
since it was last reset.
To reset the average speed display,
select it by pushing the “INFO” switch,

WARNING
EWA11092
Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly closed after filling fuel.
Leakin g fuel is a fire hazar d.
EAU13213
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. 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.
[ECA10072]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel tank cap.
WARNING

Gasoline is poisonous an d can cau-
se injury or death. Han dle gasoline

Your Yamaha engine was designed to
use unleaded gasoline with a research
octane number of 95 or higher. If en-
gine knocking or pinging occurs, use a
gasoline of a different brand or higher
octane rating.
TIP This mark identifies the recom-
mended fuel for this vehicle as
specified by European regulation
(EN228).
 Confirm the gasoline pump nozzle
has the same fuel identification
mark.Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gaso-
hol containing ethanol and that con-
taining 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.
NOTICE

Use only unlea ded g asoline. The use
of lea ded g asoline will cause severe
