SAFETY INFORMATION
1-5
1Aftermarket Tires and Rims
The tires and rims that came with your
motorcycle were designed to match the
performance capabilities and to provide
the best combination of handling, brak-
ing, and comfort. Other tires, rims, siz-
es, and combinations may not be
appropriate. Refer to page 6-18 for tire
specifications and more information on
replacing your tires.
Transporting the Motorcycle
Be sure to observe following instruc-
tions before transporting the motorcy-
cle in another vehicle.
●
Remove all loose items from the
motorcycle.
●
Check that the fuel cock (if
equipped) is in the “OFF” position
and that there are no fuel leaks.
●
Point the front wheel straight
ahead on the trailer or in the truck
bed, and choke it in a rail to pre-
vent movement.
●
Shift the transmission in 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 mo-
torcycle, such as the frame or up-
per front fork triple clamp (and not,
for example, to rubber-mounted
handlebars or turn signals, or parts
that could break). Choose the lo-
cation 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 mo-
torcycle will not bounce excessive-
ly during transport.

Try to reset the traction control system
and the lights by following the proce-
dures under “Resetting” on page 3-22.
EAU38624
Immobilizer system indicator light
The electrical circuit of the indicator
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”,
or if the indicator light remains on, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.
When the key is turned to “OFF” and 30
seconds have passed, the indicator
light will start flashing indicating the im-
mobilizer system is enabled. After 24
hours have passed, the indicator light
will stop flashing, however the immobi-
lizer system is still enabled.
The self-diagnosis device also detects
problems in the immobilizer system cir-
cuits. (See page 3-14 for an explana-
tion of the self-diagnosis device.)

Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the left button switches the dis-
play between the odometer mode
“ODO” and the tripmeter modes “TRIP
1” and “TRIP 2” in the following order:
ODO
→ TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → ODO
TIPWhen selecting “TRIP 1” or “TRIP 2”,
the display flashes for five seconds.When approximately 3.9 L (1.03 US
gal, 0.86 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the display automatically
changes to the fuel reserve tripmeter
mode “TRIP F” and starts counting the
distance traveled from that point. In that
case, pushing the left button switches the display between the various tripme-
ter and odometer modes in the follow-
ing order:
TRIP F
→ ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 →
TRIP F
TIPWhen selecting “TRIP 1”, “TRIP 2” or
“TRIP F”, the display flashes for five
seconds.To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the left button, and then push this
button for at least one second while the
display is flashing. If you do not reset
the fuel reserve tripmeter manually, it
resets itself automatically and the dis-
play returns to the prior mode after re-
fueling and traveling 5 km (3 mi). Clock
The clock displays when the key is
turned to “ON”. In addition, the clock
can be displayed for 10 seconds by
pushing the left button when the main
switch is in the “OFF”, “LOCK” or “ ”

Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel meter disappear to-
wards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When the last segment
starts flashing, refuel as soon as possi-
ble.
When the key is turned to “ON”, all dis-
play segments come on once in order
to test the electrical circuit.
TIPThis fuel meter is equipped with a self-
diagnosis system. If a problem is de-
tected in the electrical circuit, all display
segments start flashing. If this occurs,
have a Yamaha dealer check the elec-
trical circuit.Air intake temperature, coolant tem-
perature, instantaneous fuel con-
sumption and average fuel
consumption modes Push the right button to switch the dis-
play between the air intake tempera-
ture mode, the coolant temperature
mode, the instantaneous fuel con-
sumption mode “km/L” or “L/100 km”,
and the average fuel consumption
mode “AVE_ _._ km/L” or “AVE_ _._
L/100 km” in the following order:
air intake temperature
→ coolant tem-
perature → km/L or L/100 km → AVE_
_._ km/L or AVE_ _._ L/100 km → air
intake temperature
For the UK only:
Push the right button to switch the dis-
play between the air intake tempera-
ture mode, the coolant temperature
mode, the instantaneous fuel con-
sumption mode “km/L”, “L/100 km” or
“MPG”, and the average fuel consump-
tion mode “AVE_ _._ km/L”, “AVE_ _._

Do not continue to operate the en-
gine if it is overheating.
Instantaneous fuel consumption modeThe instantaneous fuel consumption
display modes “km/L”, “L/100 km” or
“MPG” (for the UK only) show the fuel
consumption under the current riding
conditions.●
The “km/L” display shows the dis-
tance that can be traveled on 1.0 L
of fuel.
●
The “L/100 km” display shows the
amount of fuel necessary to travel
100 km.

MPG” display shows the average
distance that can be traveled on
1.0 Imp.gal of fuel.
To switch between the average fuel
consumption displays, push the right
button when one of the displays is
shown.
To reset the average fuel consumption
display, select it by pushing the right
button, and then push the right button
for at least one second while the dis-
play is flashing.
TIPAfter the display is reset, the average
fuel consumption is not displayed until
the vehicle has traveled 1 km (0.6 mi).

Fuel tank cap To 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 cap1. 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 is
not properly closed and locked.
WARNING
EWA11091
Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly closed after filling fuel.
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard.
EAU13221
Fuel Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10881
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce 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.
1. Unlock.
