to monitor the engine speed and keep it
within the ideal power range.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the
tachometer needle will sweep once
across the r/min range and then return
to zero r/min in order to test the electrical
circuit.

3. “RESET” buttonThe multi-function display is equipped
with the following:l
an odometer (which shows the total
distance traveled)
l
two tripmeters (which show the
distance traveled since they were
last set to zero)
l
a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled on the
fuel reserve)
l
a fuel meter
l
a clock
Be sure to turn the key to “ON” before
using the “SELECT” and “RESET”
buttons.Odometer, tripmeter and clock
modes
Pushing the “SELECT” button switches
the display between the odometer
mode “ODO” and the tripmeter modes
“TRIP 1”, “TRIP 2” and the clock mode
in the following order:
ODO
→ TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → CLOCK →
ODO
If the fuel level warning light comes on
(see page 3-2), the odometer display will
automatically change to the fuel reserve
tripmeter mode “F-TRIP” and start
counting the distance traveled from that
point. In that case, pushing the
“SELECT” button switches the display
between the various tripmeter, odometer
and clock modes in the following order:
F-TRIP → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → CLOCK
→ ODO → F-TRIP

Immediately wipe off spilled fuel with
a clean, dry, soft cloth, since fuel may
deteriorate painted surfaces or plastic
parts.
EAU33500
Recommended fuel:REGULAR UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY
Fuel tank capacity: 19.2 L (5.07 US gal) (4.22 Imp. gal)
Fuel reserve amount (when the fuel level warning light comes on):
4.5 L (1.19 US gal) (1.00 Imp. gal)
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 designed
to use regular unleaded gasoline with a
research octane number of 91 or higher.
If knocking (or pinging) occurs, use a gasoline of a different brand. Use of
unleaded fuel will extend spark plug life
and reduce maintenance costs.
EAU13431
Catalytic converterThis model is equipped with a catalytic
converter in the exhaust system.
EWA10860
The exhaust system is hot after
operation. Make sure that the exhaust
system has cooled down before
doing any maintenance work.
ECA10700
The following precautions must be
observed to prevent a fire hazard or
other damages.l

l
Use only unleaded gasoline. The
use of leaded gasoline will cause
unrepairable damage to the
catalytic converter.

Never start the engine or operate
it in a closed area for any length
of time. Exhaust fumes are
poisonous, and inhaling them
can cause loss of
consciousness and death within
a short time. Always make sure
that there is adequate
ventilation.

Before starting out, make sure
that the sidestand is up. If the
sidestand is not raised
completely, it could contact the
ground and distract the operator,
resulting in a possible loss of
control.
EAUW0090
Starting the engineIn order for the ignition circuit cut-off
system to enable starting, one of the
following conditions must be met:l
The transmission is in the neutral
position.
l
The transmission is in gear with the
clutch lever pulled and the
sidestand up.

Never ride with the sidestand
down.
1. Turn the key to “ON” and make sure

ask a Yamaha dealer to check the
motorcycle.

The speedometer needle will
sweep across the speed range
and then return to zero. The
tachometer needle will sweep
across the r/min range and then
return to zero. If either needle
does not sweep across their
ranges, ask a Yamaha dealer to
check the motorcycle.
2. Shift the transmission into the
neutral position.When the transmission is in the neutral
position, the neutral indicator light should
be on, otherwise have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.3. Start the engine by pushing thestart switch.If the engine fails to start, release the
start switch, wait a few seconds, and
then try again. Each starting attempt
should be as short as possible to
