GIVE SAFETY THE RIGHT OF WAY
Motorcycles are fascinating vehicles, which can give you an unsurpassed feeling of power and
freedom. However, they also impose certain limits, which you must accept; even the best motorcycle
does not ignore the laws of physics.
Regular care and maintenance are essential for preserving value and operating condition of your
motorcycle. Moreover, what is true for the motorcycle is also true for the rider: good performance
depends on being in good shape. Riding under the influence of medication, drugs and alcohol is, of
course, out of the question. Motorcycle riders—more than car drivers—must always be at their mental
and physical best. Under the influence of even small amounts of alcohol, there is a tendency to take
dangerous risks.
Protective clothing is as essential for the motorcycle rider as seat belts are for car drivers and
passengers. Always wear a complete motorcycle suit (whether made of leather or tear-resistant
synthetic materials with protectors), sturdy boots, motorcycle gloves and a properly fitting helmet.
Optimum protective wear, however, should not encourage carelessness. Although full-coverage
helmets and suits, in particular, create an illusion of total safety and protection, motorcyclists will
always be vulnerable. Riders who lack critical self-control run the risk of going too fast and are apt to
take chances. This is even more dangerous in wet weather. The good motorcyclist rides safely,
predictably and defensively—avoiding all dangers, including those caused by others.
Enjoy your ride!

Multi-function display
The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:
●a fuel gauge
●a coolant temperature gauge
●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 selfdiagnosis device
●a clock
Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the “SELECT”button switches
the display between the odometer
mode “ODO”and the tripmeter modes
“TRIP”in the following order:
ODO →TRIP (top) →TRIP (bottom)
→ODO
When approximately 5 L of fuel re-
mains in the fuel tank, the 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 (top) →TRIP (bottom)
→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.
Self-diagnosis device
This model is equipped with a self-di-
agnosis device for various electrical cir-
cuits.
If any of those circuits are defective,
the clock will indicate a two-digit error
code (e.g., 11, 12, 13).
If the clock indicates such an error
code, note the code number, and then
have a Yamaha dealer check the
motorcycle.
