
Check that the fuel cock (if
equipped) is in the off position and
that there are no fuel leaks.

Shift the transmission into gear (for
models with a manual transmis-
sion).

Secure the motorcycle with
tie-downs or suitable straps that
are attached to solid parts of the
motorcycle, such as the frame or
upper front fork triple clamp (and
not, for example, to rubber-mount-
ed handlebars or turn signals, or
parts that could break). Choose
the location for the straps carefully
so the straps will not rub against
painted surfaces during transport.

The suspension should be com-
pressed somewhat by the
tie-downs, if possible, so that the
motorcycle will not bounce exces-
sively during transport.

light can be checked by turning the key
to “ON”. The indicator light should
come on for a few seconds, and then
go off.
If the indicator light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ON”,
if the indicator light remains on, or if the
indicator light flashes in a pattern (if a
problem is detected in the immobilizer
system, the immobili
zer system indica-
tor light will flash in a pattern), have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
TIPIf the immobilizer system indicator light
flashes in the pattern, slowly 5 times
then quickly 2 times, this could be
caused by transponder interference. Ifthis occurs, try the following.
1. Make sure there are no other im- mobilizer keys close to the main
switch. Other immobilizer system
keys may cause signal interfer-
ence and prevent the engine from
starting.
2. Use the code re-registering key to start the engine.
3. If the engine starts, turn it off, and try starting the engine with the standard keys.
4. If one or both of the standard keys do not start the engine, take the
vehicle and all 3 keys to a Yamaha
dealer to have the standard keys
re-registered.

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
detected in the fuel tank electrical cir-
cuit, the fuel level segments, frame,
and “ ” will flash repeatedly. If this oc-
curs, have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle.
Eco indicator
This indicator comes on when the vehi-
cle is being operated in an environmen-
tally friendly, fuel-efficient manner. The
indicator goes off when the vehicle is
stopped.TIPConsider the following tips to reduce
fuel consumption:
Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.

Travel at a constant speed.

Select the transmission gear that
is appropriate for the vehicle
speed.
Transmission gear display
This display shows the selected gear.
The neutral position is indicated by “ ”
and by the neutral indicator light.


The tripmeters will reset and con-
tinue counting after 9999.9 isreached.
Push the bottom set button to switch
the display between odometer “ODO”,
tripmeters “TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2”, in-
stantaneous fuel consumption “km/L”
or “L/100 km”, average fuel consump-
tion “AVE_ _._ km/L” or “AVE_ _._

 C”, ambient temperature “Air_ _ C”,
and clock “_ _:_ _” in the following or-
der:

For the UK:
Push the bottom set button to switch
the display between odometer “ODO”,
tripmeters “TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2”, in- stantaneous fuel consumption “km/L”,
“L/100 km” or “MPG”, average fuel con-
sumption “AVE_ _._ km/L”, “AVE_ _._
L/100 km” or “AVE_ _._ MPG”, coolant

Push the top set button to switch
the display in the reverse order.

The fuel reserve tripmeter comeson automatically.
If the last segment and frame of the fuel
meter start flashing, the display auto-
matically changes to fuel reserve trip-
meter “TRIP F” and starts counting the
distance traveled from that point. In this
case, push the bottom set button to
switch the display in the following order:
TRIP F  km/L or L/100 km  AVE_ _._ km/L or AVE_ _._ L/100 km
 _ _

tance that can be traveled on 1.0 L
of fuel.

“AVE_ _._ L/100 km”: The average
amount of fuel necessary to travel
100 km.

“AVE_ _._ MPG”: The average
distance 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 second.

Fuel tank capTo open the fuel tank cap
Open the fuel tank cap lock cover, in-
sert the key into the lock, and then turn
it 1/4 turn clockwise. The lock will be re-
leased and the fuel tank cap can be
opened.
To close the fuel tank cap 1. Push the fuel tank cap into position with the key inserted in the lock.
2. Turn the key counterclockwise to the original position, remove it, and
then close the lock cover.
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 isnot properly closed and locked.
WARNING
EWA11092
Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly closed after filling fuel.Leaking fuel is a fire hazard.
EAU13222
FuelMake sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, followthese 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.
1. Unlock.
