Odometer display:
Tripmeter displays:“TRIP-1” and “TRIP-2” show the dis-
tance traveled since they were last set
to zero. When approximately 3.9 L (1.03 US
gal, 0.86 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the last segment of the fuel
meter starts flashing. In addition, the
information display will automatically
change to the fuel reserve tripmeter
mode “TRIP-F” and start counting the
distance traveled from that point.
In that case, pushing the select switch
switches the display between the vari-
ous information displays in the follow-
ing order;
TRIP-F
→ Display–1 → Display–2 →
Display–3 → TRIP-F

If you do not reset the fuel reserve trip-
meter manually, it will reset itself auto-
matically and the display will return to
the prior mode after refueling and trav-
eling 5 km (3 mi).
Estimated traveling range display:
The distance that can be traveled with
the remaining fuel in the fuel tank under
the current riding conditions is shown.
Elapsed time display:The time that has elapsed since the
key was turned to “ON” is shown. The
maximum time that can be shown is
99:59. This display is automatically reset
when the key is turned to “OFF”.
TIPThere are also “TIME–2” and “TIME–3”
elapsed time displays, but they cannot
be set to the information display. See
“Setting mode” on page 3-16 for de-
tailed information.Air intake temperature display:The air intake temperature display indi-
cates the temperature of the air drawn
into the air filter case.
This display shows the air intake tem-
perature from –9 °C to 93 °C in 1 °C in-
crements. The temperature displayed
may vary from the ambient tempera-
ture.TIP
–9 °C will be displayed even if the
air intake temperature falls below
–9 °C. 
The accuracy of the temperature
reading may be affected when rid-
ing slowly [approximately under
20 km/h (12 mi/h)] or when
stopped at traffic signals, railroad
crossings, etc.

EAU58280
Recommended shift points
The recommended shift points during
acceleration and deceleration are
shown in the table below.
EAU16811
Tips for re ducin g fuel con-
sumptionFuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follow-
ing tips to reduce fuel consumption:
 Shift up swiftly, and avoid high en-
gine speeds during acceleration.
 Do not rev the engine while shift-
ing down, and avoid high engine
speeds with no load on the en-
gine.
 Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length
of time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traf-
fic lights or at railroad crossings).
EAU16842
Engine 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.
EAU58990
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 3900
r/min. NOTICE: After 1000 km (600
mi) of operation, the en gine oil an d
final gear oil must b e changed , an d
the oil filter cartri dge or element re-
placed .

EAU21402
Valve clearanceThe valve clearance changes with use,
resulting in improper air-fuel mixture
and/or engine noise. To prevent this
from occurring, the valve clearance
must be adjusted by a Yamaha dealer
at the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
EAU59162
TiresTires are the only contact between the
vehicle and the road. Safety in all con-
ditions of riding depends on a relatively
small area of road contact. Therefore, it
is essential to maintain the tires in good
condition at all times and replace them
at the appropriate time with the speci-
fied tires.
Tire air pressure
The tire air pressure should be
checked and, if necessary, adjusted
before each ride.
WARNING
EWA10504
Operation of this vehicle with im-
proper tire pressure may cause se-
vere injury or death from loss of
control.  The tire air pressure must be
checked and a djuste d on col d

of the tires equals the am bient
temperature).
 The tire air pressure must be
