operator and may limit control
ability, therefore, such accesso-
ries are not recommended.
 Use caution when adding electri-
cal accessories. If electrical ac-
cessories exceed the capacity of
the motorcycle’s electrical sys-
tem, an electric failure could re-
sult, which could cause a
dangerous loss of lights or engine
power.
Aftermarket Tires an d Rims
The tires and rims that came with your
motorcycle were designed to match
the performance capabilities and to
provide the best combination of han-
dling, braking, and comfort. Other
tires, rims, sizes, and combinations
may not be appropriate. Refer to page
6-19 for tire specifications and more in-
formation on replacing your tires.
Transportin g 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 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 mo-
torcycle will not bounce exces-
sively during transport.

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) towards “E” (empty) as the fuel
level decreases. When the last seg-
ment starts flashing, refuel as soon as
possible.

ter circuit, all display segments of the
fuel meter will start flashing. If this oc-
curs, have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle.
Eco in dicator
This indicator comes on when the vehi-
cle is being operated in an environ-
mentally friendly, fuel-efficient manner.
The indicator goes off when the vehicle
is stopped.
TIP
Consider 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.

Odometer:
The odometer shows the total distance
traveled by the vehicle.
Tripmeters:
“TRIP-1” and “TRIP-2” show the dis-
tance traveled since they last reset.
TIP
 The odometer will lock at 999999.
 The tripmeters will reset and con-
tinue counting after 9999.9 is
reached.
The fuel reserve tripmeter shows the
distance traveled on the fuel reserve.
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
“TRIP-F” and start counting the dis-
tance traveled from that point.
In this case, push the select switch to
rotate among the information display
pages in the following order;
TRIP-F
→ Display–1 → Display–2 →
Display–3 → TRIP-F
To reset a tripmeter, push the “RESET”
button briefly so that the tripmeter
flashes, and then push and hold the
“RESET” button for 2 seconds.
TIP
The fuel reserve tripmeter can be reset
manually, or after refueling and travel-
ing 5 km (3 mi), it will reset automatical-
ly and disappear from the display.

This shows the approximate distance
that can be traveled with the remaining
fuel under current riding conditions.
