Speedometer unit The speedometer unit is equipped with
the following:

a digital speedometer (which
shows riding speed)


an odometer (which shows the to-
tal distance traveled)


two tripmeters (which show the
distance traveled since they were
last set to zero)


a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled on the
fuel reserve)


a clock
NOTE:_

Be sure to turn the key to “ON” be-
fore using the “SELECT” and “RE-
SET” buttons.


For the U.K. only: To switch the
speedometer display between ki-
lometers and miles, press the “SE-
LECT” button and “RESET” button
together for at least two seconds.
_Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the “SELECT” button switches
the display between the odometer
mode “ODO” and the tripmeter modes
“TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2” in the following
order:
ODO
→ TRIP 1
→ TRIP 2
→ ODO
If the fuel level warning light comes on
(see page 3-2), the odometer display
will automatically change to the fuel re-serve tripmeter mode “TRIP F” and
start counting the distance traveled
from that point. In that case, pushing
the “SELECT” button switches the dis-
play between the various tripmeter and
odometer modes in the following order:
TRIP F
→ TRIP 1
→ TRIP 2
→ ODO
→
TRIP F
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button, and then
push the “RESET” button for at least
one second. If you do not reset the fuel
reserve tripmeter manually, it will reset
itself automatically and the display will
return to the prior mode after refueling
and traveling 5 km.

mode, push the “SELECT” button for at
least one second.

CAUTION:_ Use only unleaded gasoline. The
use of leaded gasoline will cause se-
vere damage to internal engine
parts, such as the valves and piston
rings, as well as to the exhaust sys-
tem. _
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)
occurs, use a gasoline of a different
brand or premium unleaded fuel. Use
of unleaded fuel will extend spark plug
life and reduce maintenance costs.

Check the fuel tank breather hose
connection.


Check the fuel tank breather hose
for cracks or damage, and replace
it if damaged.


Make sure that the end of the fuel
