Speedometer unit The speedometer unit is equipped with
a speedometer, an odometer and a
tripmeter. The speedometer shows
riding speed. The odometer shows the
total distance traveled. The tripmeter
shows the distance traveled since it
was last set to zero with the reset knob.
The tripmeter can be used to estimate
the distance that can be traveled with a
full tank of fuel. This information will en-
able you to plan future fuel stops.
EAU11851
Tachometer The electric tachometer allows the rider
to monitor the engine speed and keep it
within the ideal power range.NOTICE
ECA10031
Do not operate the engine in the ta-
chometer red zone.Red zone: 10000 r/min and above
EAU12092
Self-diagnosis device This model is equipped with a self-diag-
nosis device for various electrical cir-
cuits.
If a problem is detected in any of those
circuits, the engine trouble warning light
will come on or flash. If this occurs,
have a Yamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle.NOTICE

Fuel gauge The fuel gauge indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The needle moves
towards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When the needle reaches
the red zone, approximately 3.0 L (0.79
US gal, 0.66 Imp.gal) remain in the fuel
tank. If this occurs, refuel as soon as
possible.TIPThe main switch must be turned to
“ON” for the fuel gauge to display anaccurate fuel level reading.

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, 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.
[ECA10071]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel
tank cap.
WARNING
EWA15151
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.
EAU13320
NOTICE
ECA11400
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause severe
damage to internal engine parts,
such as the valves and piston rings,as well as to the exhaust system.
Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use regular unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
91 or higher. If knocking (or pinging) oc-
curs, use a gasoline of a different brand

Kickstarter If the engine fails to start by pushing the
start switch, try to start it by using the
kickstarter. To start the engine, fold out
the kickstarter lever, move it down light-
ly with your foot until the gears engage,
and then push it down smoothly but
forcefully. This model is equipped with
a primary kickstarter, allowing the en-
gine to be started in any gear if the
clutch is disengaged and the sidestand
is up. However, shifting the transmis-
sion into the neutral position before
starting is recommended.
EAU14881
Adjusting the shock absorber
assemblies Each shock absorber assembly is
equipped with a spring preload adjust-
ing ring.NOTICE
ECA10101
To avoid damaging the mechanism,
do not attempt to turn beyond themaximum or minimum settings.
WARNING
EWA10210
Always adjust both shock absorber
assemblies equally, otherwise poor
handling and loss of stability mayresult.
Adjust the spring preload as follows.
To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension, turn
the adjusting ring on each shock ab-
sorber assembly in direction (a). To de-
crease the spring preload and thereby
soften the suspension, turn the adjust-
ing ring on each shock absorber as-
sembly in direction (b).
Align the appropriate notch in the ad-
justing ring with the position indicator
on the shock absorber.

EAU15951
Read the Owner’s Manual carefully to
become familiar with all controls. If
there is a control or function you do not
understand, ask your Yamaha dealer.
WARNING
EWA10271
Failure to familiarize yourself with
the controls can lead to loss of con-
trol, which could cause an accidentor injury.
EAU43184
Starting the engine In order for the ignition circuit cut-off
system to enable starting, one of the
following conditions must be met:
The transmission is in the neutral
position.
The transmission is in gear with
the clutch lever pulled and the sid-
estand up.
See page 3-11 for more informa-
tion.
1. Turn the key to “ON”.
2. Shift the transmission into the neu-
tral position. (See page 5-2.) The
neutral indicator light should come
on. If not, ask a Yamaha dealer to
check the electrical circuit.
3. Start the engine by pushing the
start switch or by pushing the kick-
starter lever down. NOTICE: For
maximum engine life, never ac-
celerate hard when the engine is
cold!
[ECA11041]
If the engine fails to start when us-
ing the start switch, release it, wait
a few seconds, and then try again.
Each starting attempt should be as
short as possible to preserve thebattery. Do not crank the engine
more than 10 seconds on any one
attempt. If the engine does not
start with the starter motor, try us-
ing the kickstarter.

64. Remove the sponge material from
the air filter element.
5. Lightly tap the air filter element to
remove most of the dust and dirt,
and then blow the remaining dirt
out with compressed air on the
mesh side as shown. If the air filter
element is damaged, replace it.6. Clean the sponge material with
solvent, then squeeze the remain-
ing solvent out, and be sure to let
the sponge material dry before in-
stalling it into the air filter element.
If the sponge material is damaged,
replace it. WARNING! Use only a
dedicated parts cleaning sol-
vent. To avoid the risk of fire or
explosion, do not use gasoline
or solvents with a low flash
point.
[EWA10431]
NOTICE: To avoid
damaging the sponge material,
handle it gently and carefully,
and do not twist it.
[ECA15101]
7. Install the sponge material into the
air filter element, and then install
the air filter element into the air fil-
ter case. NOTICE: Make sure that
the air filter element is properly
seated in the air filter case. The
engine should never be operat-
ed without the air filter element
installed, otherwise the pis-
ton(s) and/or cylinder(s) may
become excessively worn.
[ECA10481]
8. Install the air filter case cover by in-
stalling the screws.
9. Check the hose at the bottom of
the air filter case for accumulated
dust or water, and if necessary,
drain it by removing the clamp, and
then removing the plug.
