Oil level/coolant temperature warn-
ing light “ ”
This warning light has the following
three functions.l
When the engine oil level is low,
the warning light comes on and
symbol “ ” flashes. If this oc-
curs, stop the engine immediately
and add engine oil to the specified
level.
l
When the coolant temperature is
too high, the warning light comes
on and symbol “ ” flashes. Stop
the motorcycle and allow it to idle
until the coolant temperature goes
down. If the temperature does not
go down, stop the engine. (See
the “Engine overheating” section
on page 6-46 for further instruc-
tions.)
l
When the engine oil level is low
and the coolant temperature is too
high, the warning light flashes and
symbols “ ” and “ ” come on.
To check that the warning light is work-
ing properly:
l
Put the transmission in neutral or
apply the clutch lever.

Speedometer unit The speedometer unit is equipped with
the following:l
a digital speedometer (which
shows riding speed)
l
an odometer (which shows the to-
tal distance traveled)
l
two tripmeters (which show the
distance traveled since they were
last set to zero)
l
a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled on the
fuel reserve)
l
a clock
NOTE:@ For the U.K. only:
To switch the speedometer display be-
tween kilometers and miles, press the
“SELECT” button and “RESET” button
together for at least two seconds. @Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the “SELECT” button switches
the display between the odometer
mode “ODO” and the tripmeter modes
“TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2” in the following
order:
ODO
® TRIP 1
® TRIP 2
® ODO
If the fuel level warning light comes on
(see page 3-2), the odometer 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, pushingthe “SELECT” button switches the dis-
play between the various tripmeter and
odometer modes in the following order:
TRIP F
® TRIP 1
® TRIP 2
® 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.
Clock mode
To change the display to the clock
mode, push the “SELECT” button for at
least one second.
To change the display back to the prior
mode, push the “SELECT” button.

Self-diagnosis device This model is equipped with a self-di-
agnosis device for the following electri-
cal circuits:l
throttle position sensor
l
speed sensor
If any of those circuits are defective,
the tachometer will repeatedly display
the following error code:
CB-11E
Use the table below to identify the
faulty electrical circuit.CB-28EIf the tachometer displays such an er-
ror code, note the circuit-specific num-
ber of r/min, and then have a Yamaha
dealer check the motorcycle.
EC000004
CAUTION:_ When the tachometer displays an
error code, the motorcycle should
be checked as soon as possible in
order to avoid engine damage. _
