Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel meter disappear from
“F” (full tank) towards “E” (empty tank)
as the fuel level decreases. When the
last segment and frame start flashing,
refuel as soon as possible.TIPThis fuel meter is equipped with a self-
diagnosis system. If a problem is de-
tected in the fuel tank electrical circuit,
the fuel level segments, frame, and “ ” will flash repeatedly. If this oc-
curs, have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle.
Eco in

“AVE_ _._ MPG”: The average dis-
tance that can be traveled on
1.0 Imp.gal of fuel.
To switch the average fuel consump-
tion display settings, push the bottom
set button for two seconds.
To reset the average fuel consumption,
push the top set button for one se-
cond.
TIPAfter resetting the average fuel con-
sumption, “_ _._” will be shown until

increments.
If the message “HI” flashes, stop the
vehicle, then stop the engine and let
the it cool. (See page 6-39.)
TIP
When the coolant temperature is
below 40 °C, “Lo” will be dis-
played.
The coolant temperature varies
with changes in the weather and
engine load.Air temperature This display shows the air temperature
from –9 °C to 99 °C in 1 °C increments.
The temperature displayed may vary
from the actual ambient temperature.
TIP
When the air temperature is below
–9 °C, “Lo” will be displayed.
The accuracy of the temperature
reading may be affected when rid-
ing slowly (under 20 km/h [12.5
mi/h]) or when stopped at traffic
signals, railroad crossings, etc.Clock

TIPThe fuel tank cap cannot be closed un-
less the key is in the lock. In addition,
the key cannot be removed if the cap is
not properly closed and locked.
WARNING
EWA11092
Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly closed after filling fuel.
Leakin g fuel is a fire hazar d.
EAU13222
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. When refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler
hole. 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.

Your Yamaha engine was designed to
use unleaded gasoline with a research
octane number of 90 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
ECA11401
Use only unlea ded g asoline. The use
of lea ded g asoline will cause severe

starts unless the clutch lever is pulled
and the sidestand is up. Also, it will
stop the running engine should the

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.
EAU17094
