4 Fuel reserve tripmeter “F Trip”
When approximately 2.4 L (0.63 US
gal, 0.53 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
4000 km (2400 mi) and every 5000 km
(3000 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.

“OIL SERV”: Appears when the oil
change indicator “OIL” starts flashing.
If “OIL SERV” is displayed, change the
engine oil, and then reset the oil
change indicator and oil change trip-
meter.

belt replacement indicator “V-Belt”
starts flashing. If “V-BELT SERV” is
displayed, replace the V-belt, and then
reset the V-belt replacement indicator
and V-belt replacement tripmeter.
When there are two or more warnings,
the warning messages are displayed in
the following order:

EAU1559B
Inspect your vehicle each time you use it to make sure the vehicle is in safe operating condition. Always follow the inspection
and maintenance procedures and schedules described in the Owner’s Manual.
WARNING
EWA11152
Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an acci dent or equipment damag e.
Do not operate the vehicle if you fin d any pro blem. If a pro blem cannot be corrected b y the proce dures provi ded in
this manual, have the vehicle inspecte d b y a Yamaha dealer.Before using this vehicle, check the following points:
ITEM CHECKS PAGE
Fuel • Check fuel level in fuel tank.
• Refuel if necessary.
• Check fuel line for leakage.
• Check fuel tank overflow hose for obstructions, cracks or damage, and check
hose connection. 4-18, 4-19
En gine oil • Check oil level in engine.
• If necessary, add recommended oil to specified level.
• Check vehicle for oil leakage. 7-10
Final transmission oil • Check vehicle for oil leakage. 7-13
Coolant • Check coolant level in reservoir.
• If necessary, add recommended coolant to specified level.
• Check cooling system for leakage. 7-14
Front brake • Check operation.
• If soft or spongy, have Yamaha dealer bleed hydraulic system.
• Check brake pads for wear.
• Replace if necessary.
• Check fluid level in reservoir.
• If necessary, add specified brake fluid to specified level.

EAU15952
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.
WARNING
EWA10272
Failure to familiarize yourself with
the controls can lead to loss of con-
trol, which coul d cause an acci dent

EAU16842
En gine break-inThere 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 fol-
lowing 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 themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
tle operation or any condition that
might result in engine overheating
must be avoided.
EAU34323
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 4500
r/min. NOTICE: After 1000 km (600
mi) of operation, be sure to replace
the en gine oil, final transmission oil
an d the oil filter element.
[ECA12932]
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 5400

 Keep the en gine spee d out of
the tachometer red zone.
 If any en gine trou ble shoul d oc-
cur during the en gine break-in
period , imme diately have a

TIP Engine air filter and V-belt air filter
• 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 and sub air filter element need to be replaced and the V-belt air filter element needs to be serviced more frequently 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 filter ele-
mentThe engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil filter ele-
ment replaced at the intervals specified
in the periodic maintenance and lubri-
cation chart.
To check the en gine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur- face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion. 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, and then check the oil level
through the check window locat-
ed at the bottom-right side of the
crankcase.TIPThe engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
