GIVE SAFETY THE RIGHT OF WAY

EAU00021

 

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.

1

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 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)

a self diagnosis 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 remains in the fuel tank, 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 “SELECT” button switches the display 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.

WARNING

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.
