Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the left button switches the display be-
tween the odometer mode  “ODO ” and the trip-
meter modes  “TRIP 1 ” and “ TRIP 2 ” in the 
following order:
ODO   TRIP 1   TRIP 2   ODO
TIP
When selecting “ TRIP 1” or “ TRIP 2 ”, the display 
flashes for five seconds.
When approximately 3.9 L (1.03 US gal, 0.86 
Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the fuel tank, the dis-
play automatically changes to the fuel reserve 
tripmeter mode  “TRIP F”  and starts counting the 
distance traveled from that point. In that case, 
pushing the left button switches the display be-
tween the various tripmeter and odometer 
modes in the following order:
TRIP F   ODO   TRIP 1   TRIP 2   TRIP F
TIP
When selecting “ TRIP 1”, “TRIP 2 ” or  “TRIP F ”, 
the display flashes for five seconds.
To reset a tripmeter, select it by pushing the left 
button, and then push this button for at least one 
second while the display is flashing. If you do not 
reset the fuel reserve tripmeter manually, it re-
sets itself automatically and the display returns 
to the prior mode after refueling and traveling 5 
km (3 mi). Clock
The clock displays when the key is turned to 
“
ON ”. In addition, the clock can be displayed for 
10 seconds by pushing the left button when the 
main switch is in the  “OFF ” or “ LOCK ” position.
To set the clock:
1. Push the left button and right button together  for at least three seconds.
2. When the hour digits start flashing, push the  right button to set the hours.
3. Push the left button; the minute digits start  flashing.

Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of fuel in the 
fuel tank. The display segments of the fuel meter 
disappear towards  “E” (Empty) as the fuel level 
decreases. When the last segment starts flash-
ing, refuel as soon as possible.
When the key is turned to  “ON ”, all display seg-
ments come on once in order to test the electri-
cal circuit.

PREPARATION FOR REMOVAL AND 
DISASSEMBLY
1. Before removal and disassembly, remove all  dirt, mud, dust and foreign material.
2. Use only the proper tools and cleaning equip- ment.
Refer to  “SPECIAL TOOLS ” on page 1-43.
3. When disassembling, always keep mated 
parts together. This includes gears, cylinders, 
pistons and other parts that have been  “mat-
ed”  through normal wear. Mated parts must 
always be reused or replaced as an assem-
bly.
4. During disassembly, clean all of the parts and  place them in trays in the order of disassem-
bly. This will speed up assembly and allow for 
the correct installation of all parts.
5. Keep all parts away from any source of fire.
EAS20200
REPLACEMENT PARTS
Use only genuine Yamaha parts for all replace-
ments. Use oil and grease recommended by 
Yamaha for all lubrication jobs. Other brands  may be similar in function and appearance, but 
inferior in quality. EAS20210
GASKETS, OIL SEALS AND O-RINGS
1. When overhauling the engine, replace all 
gaskets, seals and O-rings. All gasket surfac-
es, oil seal lips and O-rings must be cleaned.
2. During reassembly, properly oil all mating  parts and bearings and lubricate the oil seal 
lips with grease.
EAS20220
LOCK WASHERS/PLATES AND COTTER 
PINS
After removal, replace all lock washers/plates 
“1”  and cotter pins. After the bolt or nut has been 
tightened to specification, bend the lock tabs 
along a flat of the bolt or nut.

BEARINGS AND OIL SEALS
Install bearings “1”  and oil seals “2” so that the 
manufacturer marks or numbers are visible. 
When installing oil seals, lubricate the oil seal 
lips with a light coat of lithium-soap-based 
grease. Oil bearings liberally when installing, if 
appropriate.
NOTICE
ECA13300
Do not spin the bearing with compressed air 
because this will damage the bearing surfac-
es.
EAS20240
CIRCLIPS
Before reassembly, check all circlips carefully 
and replace damaged or distorted circlips. Al-
ways replace piston pin clips after one use. 
When installing a circlip  “1”, make sure the 
sharp-edged corner  “2” is positioned opposite 
the thrust  “3” that the circlip receives.

NOTICE
ECA16600
Never disconnect a battery lead while the en-
gine is running; otherwise, the electrical 
components could be damaged.
NOTICE
ECA16751
When disconnecting the battery leads from 
the battery, be sure to disconnect the nega-
tive battery lead first, then the positive bat-
tery lead. If the positive battery lead is 
disconnected first and a tool or similar item 
contacts the vehicle, a spark could be gener-
ated, which is extremely dangerous.
TIP
If a battery lead is difficult to disconnect due to 
rust on the battery terminal, remove the rust us-
ing hot water.
NOTICE
ECA16760
Be sure to connect the battery leads to the 
correct battery terminals. Reversing the bat-
tery lead connections could damage the 
electrical components.
NOTICE
ECA16771
When connecting the battery leads to the 
battery, be sure to connect the positive bat-
tery lead first, then the negative battery lead. 
If the negative battery lead is connected first 
and a tool or similar item contacts the vehi-
cle while the positive battery lead is being 
connected, a spark could be generated, 
which is extremely dangerous.
NOTICE
ECA16610
Turn the main switch to  “OFF ” before dis-
connecting or connecting an electrical com-
ponent.

Electrical components are very sensitive to 
and can be damaged by static electricity. 
Therefore, never touch the terminals and be 
sure to keep the contacts clean.
TIP
When resetting the ECU by turning the main 
switch to  “OFF ”, be sure to wait approximately 5 
seconds before turning the main switch back to 
“ ON ”. Checking the electrical system
TIP
Before checking the electrical system, make 
sure that the battery voltage is at least 12 V.
NOTICE
ECA14371
Never insert the tester probes into the cou-
pler terminal slots. Always insert the probes 
from the opposite end 
“a” of the coupler, tak-
ing care not to loosen or damage the leads.
NOTICE
ECA16640
For waterproof couplers, never insert the 
tester probes directly into the coupler. When 
performing any checks using a waterproof 
coupler, use the specified test harness or a 
suitable commercially available test har-
ness.
