
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.

NOTICE
ECA10032
Do not operate the engine in the ta-
chometer red zone.Red zone: 11250 r/min and above
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.
TIPIf a problem is detected in the fuel tank
electrical circuit, the fuel level seg-
ments, frame, and “ ” will flash repeat-
edly. Have a Yamaha dealer check thevehicle.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 vehiclespeed.

12 The tripmeters “TRIP” show the dis-
tance traveled since they were last re-
set.
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the bottom set button. The tripmeter
will flash for a few seconds. While the
tripmeter is flashing, push the top set
button for one second.
TIP
The odometer will lock at 999999.

The tripmeters will reset and con-
tinue counting after 9999.9 isreached.
Changing the display item
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_ _._
L/100 km”, coolant temperature “_ _
 C”, ambient temperature “Air_ _ C”,
and clock “_ _:_ _” in the following or-
der:
ODO  TRIP 1  TRIP 2  (TRIP F)
 km/L or L/100 km  AVE_ _._ km/L or AVE_ _._ L/100 km
 _ _ C  Air
_ _ C  Clock _ _ :_ _  ODO
When using miles:
ODO  TRIP 1  TRIP 2  (TRIP F)
 MPG  AVE_ _._ MPG  _ _ C 
Air_ _ C  Clock _ _ :_ _  ODO
TIP
Push the top set button to switch
the display in the reverse order.

The fuel reserve tripmeter “TRIPF” appears only when low on fuel.
When low on fuel, the display automat-
ically changes to “TRIP F” and starts
counting the distance traveled from that
point.
If you do not reset the fuel reserve trip-
meter manually, after refueling and
traveling 5 km (3 mi) it resets automati-
cally and disappears from the display. Instantaneous fuel consumption
The instantaneous fuel consumption
display can be set to either “km/L” or
“L/100 km”; or when using miles, to
“MPG” as well.

“km/L”: The distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 L of fuel under cur-
rent riding conditions.

“L/100 km”: The amount of fuel
necessary to travel 100 km under
current riding conditions.

“MPG”: The distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel un-
der current riding conditions.
To switch the instantaneous fuel con-
sumption display settings, push the
bottom set button for two seconds.

This display shows the average fuel
consumption since it was last reset.
The average fuel consumption display
can be set to either “AVE_ _._ km/L” or
“AVE_ _._ L/100 km”, or when using
miles, to “AVE_ _._ MPG” as well.
“AVE_ _._ km/L”: The average dis-
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,
select it by pushing the bottom set but-
ton. The average fuel consumption dis-
play will flash for a few seconds. While
the display is flashing, push the top set
button for one second.
TIPAfter resetting the average fuel con-
sumption, “_ _._” will be shown until thevehicle has travel ed 1 km (0.6 mi). Coolant temperature
This display shows the coolant temper-
ature from 40 
C to 116 C in 1  C incre-
ments.
If the message “HI” flashes, stop the
vehicle, then stop the engine and let it
cool. (See page 6-39.)
TIP
When the coolant temperature is
below 40 C, “Lo” will be displayed.

or off only when the vehicle is
stopped.

When the key is turned to “ON”,
traction control is turned on and
set to TCS “1” or “2” (whichever
was last selected).

Turn the traction control system off
to help free the rear wheel if the ve-
hicle gets stuck in mud, sand, orother soft surfaces.
NOTICE
ECA16801
Use only the specified tires. (See
page 6-16.) Using different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controlling tire rotationaccurately.
Resetting the traction control sys-
tem
The traction control system will auto-
matically disable when:
the front wheel or rear wheel
comes off the ground while riding.

excessive rear wheel spin is de-
tected while riding.

either wheel is rotated with the key
turned to “ON” (such as when per- forming maintenance).
If the traction control system is dis-
abled, both the “ ” indicator light and
the “ ” warning light will come on.
Should this occur, try resetting the sys-
tem as follows. 1. Stop the vehicle and turn the key to “OFF”.
2. Wait a few seconds and then turn key back “ON”.
3. The “ ” indicator light should turn off and the system be enabled.
TIPIf the “ ” indicator light remains on af-
ter resetting, the vehicle may still be rid-
den; however, have a Yamaha dealercheck the vehicle as soon as possible.
4. Have a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle and turn off the “ ” warn-
ing light.

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. 3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately. NOTICE: Immediately wipe
off spilled fuel with a clean, dry,
soft cloth, since fuel may deteri-
orate painted surfaces or plastic
parts.
[ECA10072]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel tank cap.
WARNING
EWA15152
Gasoline is poisonous and can
cause injury or death. Handle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gaso-
line by mouth. If you should swallow
some gasoline or inhale a lot of gas-
oline vapor, or get some gasoline in1. Fuel tank filler tube
