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 approximately
2.5 L (0.66 US gal, 0.55 Imp.gal) of fuel
remains, the last segment starts flash-
ing. Refuel as soon as possible.TIPIf a problem is detected in the electrical
circuit, the fuel level segments will flash
repeatedly. If this occurs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
EAU93011
Clock
The clock uses a 12-hour time system.
To set the clock1. Turn the vehicle off.
2. While holding the “RES” switch, turn the vehicle on. Continue hold-
ing the “RES” switch until the hour
digits start flashing.
3. Use the “SEL” switch to set the hours.
4. Push the “RES” switch and the minute digits will start flashing.
5. Use the “SEL” switch to set the minutes.
6. Push the “RES” switch to confirm the setting.

Multi-function display The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:
 an odometer (ODO)
 two tripmeters (TRIP 1 and TRIP 2)
 a fuel reserve tripmeter (TRIP F)
 an instantaneous fuel consump-
tion display (km/L, L/100 km, or
MPG)
 an average fuel consumption dis-
play (AVE_ _._ km/L, AVE_ _._
L/100 km, or AVE_ _ _._ MPG)
 a coolant temperature display (_ _
°C)
 an air temperature display (Air_ _
°C)
Use the “SEL” switch to change the
display in the following order:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → TRIP F →
km/L or L/100 km or MPG → AVE_ _._
km/L or AVE_ _._ L/100 km or AVE_ _._
MPG → _ _ °C → Air_ _ °C → ODO
TIP The fuel reserve tripmeter appears
only when you are low on fuel.
 Use the “RES” switch to change
the display in the reverse order.
EAU86890
Odometer
The odometer shows the total distance
traveled by the vehicle.TIPThe odometer will lock at 999999 and
cannot be reset.
EAU89142
Tripmeters
The tripmeters show the distance trav-
eled since they were last reset.
To reset a tripmeter, change the dis-
play to the tripmeter you want to reset,
and then hold the “RES” switch until it
is reset.TIPThe tripmeters will reset and continue
counting after 9999.9 is reached.
EAU89152

Instantaneous fuel consumption
d
isplay
This display shows the fuel consump-
tion under the current riding condi-
tions. It can be set to either “km/L” or
“L/100 km”, or “MPG” when using

traveled on 1.0 L of fuel.
 “L/100 km”: the amount of fuel
necessary to travel 100 km.
 “MPG”: the distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel.
TIPWhen traveling under 10 km/h (6 mi/h),

function should be used for general
reference only. Do not use this figure to
estimate the distance that can be trav-
eled on the current tank of fuel.

This display shows the average fuel
consumption since it was last reset.
The average fuel consumption display
can be set to either “AVE_ _._ km/L” or
“AVE_ _._ L/100 km”, or “AVE_ _._
MPG” when using miles. To switch the
fuel consumption measurement units,
hold the “SEL” switch until the mea-
surement units change.  “AVE_ _._ km/L”: the average dis-
tance that can be traveled on 1.0 L
of fuel.

g in dicator li ght
The shift timing indicator light has 3
settings:  ON setting: the shift timing indica-
tor light will come on when the set
engine speed is reached. When
this setting is selected, the indica-
tor light will come on and stay on
until the next setting is selected
using the “RES” switch or con-
firmed with the “SEL” switch.
 FLASH setting: the shift timing in-
dicator light will flash when the set
engine speed is reached. When
this setting is selected, the shift
timing indicator light will flash 4
times per second until the next
setting is selected using the “RES”
switch or confirmed with the
“SEL” switch.
 OFF setting: the shift timing indi-
cator light is deactivated. When
this setting is selected, the shift
timing indicator light will flash
once every 2 seconds until the
next setting is selected using the
“RES” switch or confirmed with
the “SEL” switch. Shift timin
g in dicator li ght ON r/min
The shift timing indicator light can be
set between 6000 r/min and 12000
r/min in increments of 200 r/min. While
changing this setting, the shift timing
indicator light will come on and stay on
and the selected increment will be dis-
played on the tachometer.
Use the “RES” switch to select the de-
sired engine speed for activating the
shift timing indicator light.
Shift timin g in dicator li ght OFF r/min
The shift timing indicator light can be
set between 6000 r/min and 12000
r/min in increments of 200 r/min. While
changing this setting, the shift timing
indicator light will flash and the select-
ed increment will be displayed on the
tachometer.
Use the “RES” switch to select the de-
sired engine speed for deactivating the
shift timing indicator light.
TIPBe sure to set the OFF r/min to a higher
engine speed than the ON r/min setting
otherwise the shift timing indicator light
will not come on while riding.

off only when the main switch is in the
“ON” position. You can turn the main
switch to the “OFF” or “LOCK” posi-
tion, and the hazard lights will continue
to flash. To turn off the hazard lights,
turn the main switch to the “ON” posi-
tion and operate the hazard switch
again.NOTICE

Clutch leverTo disengage the drivetrain from the
engine, such as when shifting gears,
pull the clutch lever toward to the han-
dlebar. Release the lever to engage the
clutch and transmit power to the rear
wheel.TIPThe lever should be pulled rapidly and
released slowly for smooth shifting.

Shift pedalThe shift pedal is located on the left
side of the motorcycle. To shift the
transmission to a higher gear, move
the shift pedal up. To shift the trans-
mission to a lower gear, move the shift
pedal down. (See page 5-3.)

Brake leverThe brake lever is located on the right
side of the handlebar. To apply the
front brake, pull the lever toward the
throttle grip.
The brake lever is equipped with a
brake lever position adjusting knob. To
adjust the distance between the brake
lever and the throttle grip, turn the ad-
justing knob while holding the lever
pushed away from the throttle grip.
Turn the adjusting knob in direction (a)
to increase the distance. Turn the ad-
justing knob in direction (b) to decrease

EAU93090
ABSThe Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con-
trol system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently.
Operate the brakes with ABS as you
would conventional brakes. If the ABS
is activated, a pulsating sensation may
be felt at the brake lever or brake ped-
al. In this situation, continue to apply
the brakes and let the ABS work; do
not “pump” the brakes as this will re-
duce braking effectiveness.
WARNING
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient distance
from the vehicle ahead to match the
riding speed even with ABS. The ABS performs best with
long braking distances.
 On certain surfaces, such as
rough or gravel roads, the brak-
ing distance may be longer with
the ABS than without.The ABS is monitored by an ECU,
which will revert the system to conven-
tional braking if a malfunction occurs.
TIPThe ABS performs a self-diagnos-
tic test each time the vehicle first
starts off after the key is turned to
“ON” and the vehicle has traveled
at a speed of 5 km/h (3 mi/h) or
higher. During this test, a “click-
ing” noise can be heard from the
hydraulic control unit, and if the
brake lever or brake pedal is even
slightly applied, a vibration can be
felt at the lever and pedal, but
these do not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
 This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience
the pulsation at the brake lever or
brake pedal when the ABS is op-
erating. However, special tools are
required, so please consult your
Yamaha dealer.NOTICE
ECA20100
Be careful not to damage the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of the
ABS will result.
