EAU63544
Speed ometerFor the UK
The speedometer shows the vehicle’s
traveling speed. When the vehicle power is turned on,
the speedometer needle will sweep
once across the speed range and then
return to zero in order to test the elec-
trical circuit.
EAU63551
TachometerThe electric tachometer allows the rid-
er to monitor the engine speed and
keep it within the ideal power range.
When the vehicle power is turned on,
the tachometer needle will sweep once
across the r/min range and then return
to zero r/min in order to test the electri-
cal circuit.NOTICE

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.
TIP If a problem is detected in the fuel
meter, the all segments will flash
repeatedly. If this occurs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
 When approximately 2.3 L (0.61
US gal, 0.51 Imp.gal) of fuel re-
mains in the fuel tank, the last seg-
ment of the fuel meter will start
flashing. The display will automat-
ically change to the fuel reserve
tripmeter “F Trip” and start count-
ing the distance traveled from that
point.Coolant temperature meter The coolant temperature meter indi-
cates the temperature of the coolant.
If the top segment flashes, stop the ve-
hicle, then stop the engine, and let the
engine cool. (See page 8-33.)

5 Fuel reserve tripmeter “F Trip”
When approximately 2.3 L (0.61 US
gal, 0.51 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the last segment of the fuel
meter will start flashing. The display
will automatically change to the fuel re-
serve tripmeter “F Trip” and start
counting the distance traveled from
that point. In this case, push the “TRIP”
switch to switch the display in the fol-
lowing order:
F Trip
→ Oil Trip → V-Belt Trip → Odo
→ Trip → Trip Time → F Trip
To reset the fuel reserve tripmeter, se-
lect it by pushing the “TRIP” switch,
and then push the “TRIP” switch for
three seconds. The fuel reserve tripmeter will reset au-
tomatically and disappear after refuel-
ing and traveling 5 km (3 mi).
Oil chan
ge tripmeter “Oil Trip”
The oil change tripmeter shows the
distance traveled since the oil was last
changed.
The oil change indicator “OIL” flashes
at the initial 1000 km (600 mi), then at
6000 km (3500 mi) and every 6000 km
(3500 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 “TRIP” switch for three seconds.
While the oil change tripmeter is flash-
ing, push the “TRIP” switch for 15 to 20
seconds. Release the “TRIP” switch,
and the oil trip value will reset to zero.
TIPIf 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 oil change indica-
tor to come on at the correct time.

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

TIP The ABS performs a self-diagnos-
tic test each time the vehicle is
turned on and travels at a speed of
10 km/h (6 mi/h) or higher. During
this test, a clicking noise can be
heard and if either brake lever is
even slightly applied, a vibration
can be felt at the lever, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.
 This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience
the pulsation at the brake levers
when the ABS is operating. How-
ever, special tools are required, so
please consult your Yamaha deal-
er.NOTICE
ECA20100
Be careful not to damag e the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of the
ABS will result.
EAU78612
Traction control systemThe traction control system (TCS)
helps maintain traction when acceler-
ating on slippery surfaces, such as un-
paved or wet roads. If sensors detect
that the rear wheel is starting to slip
(uncontrolled spinning), the traction
control system assists by regulating
engine power until traction is restored.
When traction control has engaged,
the “ ” indicator light will flash. You
may notice changes in engine re-
sponse or exhaust sound.
WARNING
EWA18860
The traction control system is not a
su bstitute for rid ing appropriately
for the con ditions. Traction control
cannot prevent loss of traction due
to excessive speed when entering
turns, when acceleratin g har d at a
sharp lean an gle, or while brakin g,
an d cannot prevent front wheel slip-
pin g. As with any vehicle, approach
surfaces that may be slippery with
caution an d avoi d especially slip-
pery surfaces.

When the vehicle is turned on, traction
control is automatically turned on.
To turn the traction control system off,
use the “INFO” switch to change the
information display to the traction con-
trol system display. Then push the “IN-
FO” switch for three seconds. The
display will show “TCSOFF”, and the
“TCS” indicator light will come on.
TIPTurn the traction control system off to
help free the rear wheel if the vehicle
gets stuck in mud, sand, or other soft
surfaces.NOTICE
ECA16801
Use only the specifie d tires. (See
pa ge 8-17.) Usin g different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controllin g tire rotation
accurately.
Resettin g the traction control sys-
tem
The traction control system will auto-
matically disable under certain condi-
tions; such as when a sensor fault is
detected, or when only one wheel is al-
lowed to rotate for more than a few
seconds. Should this happen, the “ ”
indicator light will come on, and possi-
bly the “ ” warning light, too.
