GIVE SAFETY THE RIGHT OF WAY

EAU00021

EW000015

	Motorcycles are fascinating vehicles, which can give you an unsurpassed feeling of power and freedom. Howev-
	er, they also impose certain limits, which you must accept; even the best motorcycle does not ignore the laws of
1	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!

NOTE:

This model is equipped with a self-diagno- sis device for the fuel level warning light circuit. (See page 3-6 for an explanation of the self-diagnosis device).

The speedometer unit is equipped with the following:

•a speedometer (which shows riding speed)

•a tachometer (which shows engine r/min)

•an odometer (which shows the total 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)

•an oil change indicator (which is displayed when the oil needs to be changed)

•a clock.

3-3

EAU00027	INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS

NOTE:

Depending on the market where the motorcycle is sold, the speedometer can be set to either mph or km/h. When the speedometer is set to mph, the odometer counts in miles (1 mile = 1.61 km).

Odometer and tripmeter modes

Pushing the “SET” button switches the display between the odometer mode “ODO” and the tripmeter modes “TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2” in the following order: ODO 6 TRIP 1 6 TRIP 2 6 ODO

When the fuel warning light comes on, the display will automatically change to the fuel reserve tripmeter mode “TRIP F” and start counting the distance traveled from that point. In that case, pushing the “SET” button switches the display between the various tripmeter and odometer modes in the following order: TRIP F 6 TRIP 1 6 TRIP 2 6 ODO 6 TRIP F

To reset a tripmeter, select it by pushing the “SET” 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 several kilometers.

Oil change indicator

At the initial 1,000 km (620 mi) and every 10,000 km (6,200 mi) thereafter, the message “OIL CHANGE” appears in the display for a few seconds when the key is turned to “ON”, to indicate that the engine oil should be changed.

After changing the engine oil, reset the oil

3

change indicator.

If the engine oil is changed before the oil change indicator appears in the display (i.e. before the periodic oil change interval has been reached), the indicator must be reset after the oil change for the next periodic oil change to be indicated at the correct time.

NOTE:

When the message “OIL CHANGE” appears in the display, be sure to change the engine oil as soon as possible. In addition to these kilometer-based oil changes, be sure to have a Yamaha dealer perform the annual checks specified in the periodic maintenance and lubrication chart on page 6-2.

3-4

INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS	EAU00027

To reset the periodic maintenance and lubrication indicator:

1.Turn the key to “B” (OFF).

2.Push the “RESET” button and hold it down while turning the key to “I” (ON).

3

Clock mode

NOTE:

The clock can only be set while the speedometer unit is in the odometer mode.

To set the clock:

1.Turn the key to “I” (ON).

2.Push the “RESET” button and “SET” button together for at least two seconds.

3.When the hour digits start flashing, push the “RESET” button to set the hours (between 1 and 12).

4.Push the “SET” button, and the first of the two minute digits will start flashing.

5.Push the “RESET” button to set the first minute digit (between 0 and 5).

6.Push the “SET” button, and the second of the two minute digits will start flashing.

7.Push the “RESET” button to set the second minute digit (between 0 and 9).

8.Push the “SET” button, and then release it to start the clock.

3-5

EAU00027	INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS

NOTE:

The clock can only be set when the motorcycle is stopped. The clock does not automatically adjust for Daylight Saving Time. Therefore, when the time changes from Standard Time to Daylight Saving Time (and vice versa), the clock must be set manually.

Red zone: 6,400 r/min and above.

EAUB0004

Self-diagnosis device

NOTE:

When the key is turned to “I” (ON), the tachometer and speedometer needles should move to the maximum, then back to zero. In addition, the oil level warning

light and fuel level warning light should

come on for a few seconds, then go off. If the tachometer or speedometer needle does not move as described or either of the warning lights does not come on, have a Yamaha dealer check the electrical circuits.

This model is equipped with a self-diagno- sis device for the following electrical circuits:

•speedometer

•tachometer

•oil level warning light

•throttle position sensor

•speed sensor.

INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS	EAU00027

If any of the above circuits are defective, the tachometer will repeatedly display the following error code:

0 r/min (for 3 seconds)

Circuit-specific number of r/min for 2.5 seconds (see the table below).

Current engine speed for 3 seconds

Use the chart below to identify the faulty electrical circuit.

WARNING0

This shock absorber contains highly pressurized nitrogen gas. For proper handling, read and understand the following information before handling the shock absorber. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for property damage or personal injury that may result from improper handling.

•Do not tamper with or attempt to open the gas cylinder.

•Do not subject the shock absorber to an open flame or other high heat sources, otherwise it may explode due to excessive gas pressure.

•Do not deform or damage the gas cylinder in any way, as this will result in poor damping performance.

•Always have a Yamaha dealer service the shock absorber.
