12 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.Transmission gear display
This display shows the selected gear.
The neutral position is indicated by “ ”
and by the neutral indicator light.

“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 until the display changes.
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 until the display is reset.
TIPAfter resetting the average fuel con-
sumption, “_ _._” will be shown until thevehicle has traveled 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.

The coolant temperature varies
with changes in the weather andengine 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 mi/h])
or when stopped at traffic signals,railroad crossings, etc.

D-mode (drive mode)D-mode is an electronically controlled
engine performance system with three
mode selections: “STD”, “A”, and “B”.
Push the drive mode switch “MODE” to
switch between modes. (See
page 3-14.)TIPBefore using D-mode, make sure you
understand its operation along with theoperation of the drive mode switch.
Mode “STD”
Mode “STD” is suitable for various rid-
ing conditions.
This mode allows the rider to enjoy smooth and sporty drivability from the
low-speed range to the high-speed
range.
Mode “A”
Mode “A” offers a sportier engine re-
sponse in the low- to mid-speed range
compared to mode “STD”.
Mode “B”
Mode “B” offers response that is some-
what less sharp compared to mode
“STD” for riding situations that require
especially sensitive throttle operation.

TIP
The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test each time the vehicle first
starts off after the key is turned to
“ON” and the vehicle has traveled
at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or
higher. During this test, a “clicking”
noise can be heard from the hy-
draulic control unit, and if the brake
lever or brake pedal is even slight-
ly applied, a vibration can be felt at
the lever and pedal, but these do
not indicate a malfunction.

This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience the
pulsation at the brake lever or
brake pedal when the ABS is oper-
ating. However, special tools are
required, so please consult yourYamaha dealer.
NOTICE
ECA20100
Be careful not to damage the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of theABS will result.
EAU74351
Traction control systemThe traction control system (TCS)
helps maintain traction when accelerat-
ing on slippery surfaces, such as un-
paved or wet roads. If sensors detect
that the rear wheel is starting to slip (un-
controlled spinning), the traction control
system assists by regulating engine
power as needed until traction is re-
stored.
WARNING
EWA15433
The traction control system is not a
substitute for riding appropriately
for the conditions. Traction control
cannot prevent loss of traction due
to excessive speed when entering
turns, when accelerating hard at a
sharp lean angle, or while braking,
and cannot prevent front wheel slip-
ping. As with any vehicle, approach
surfaces that may be slippery with
caution and avoid especially slip-pery surfaces.
The “ ” indicator light flashes when
traction control has engaged. You may
notice slight changes in engine and ex-

Fuel tank capTo open the fuel tank cap
Open the fuel tank cap lock cover, in-
sert the key, and then turn it 1/4 turn
clockwise. The lock will be released
and the fuel tank cap can be opened.
To close the fuel tank cap
With the key still inserted, push down
the fuel tank cap. Turn the key 1/4 turn
counterclockwise, 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 is
not 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.

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 in your eyes, see your doctor immedi-
ately. If gasoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap and water. If gaso-
line spills on your clothing, change
your clothes.
EAU86072
Your Yamaha engine was designed to
use unleaded gasoline with a research
octane number of 95 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 identificationmark.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gaso-
hol containing ethanol and that contain-
ing 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
