High beam indicator light “1”
This indicator light comes on when the
high beam of the headlight is switched on.
EAUB0002
Fuel level warning light “K”
This warning light comes on when the fuel
level drops below approximately 5.8 L.
When this occurs, refuel as soon as possi-
ble.
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked according to the following
procedure.
1. Turn the key to “
I” (ON).
2. If the warning light does not come on,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.
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).

Speedometer unit
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)
1. Speedometer set to km/h
2. Tachometer
3. Odometer/ tripmeter/ fuel reserve tripmeter/
clock display
4. “SET” button
5. “RESET” button
•two tripmeters (which show the dis-
tance traveled since they were last
set to zero)
•a fuel reserve tripmeter (which shows
the distance traveled on the fuel re-
serve)
•an oil change indicator (which is dis-
played when the oil needs to be
changed)
•a clock.

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 dis-
play between the odometer mode “ODO”
and the tripmeter modes “TRIP 1” and
“TRIP 2” in the following order: ODO 6
TRIP 1 6TRIP 2 6ODO
When the fuel warning light comes on, the
display will automatically change to the fu-
el 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 6TRIP 1 6
TRIP 2 6ODO 6TRIP F
To reset a tripmeter, select it by pushing
the “SET” button, and then push the “RE-
SET” 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 mes-
sage “OIL CHANGE” appears in the dis-
play 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
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 peri-
odic oil change to be indicated at the cor-
rect time.
NOTE:
When the message “OIL CHANGE”
appears in the display, be sure to change
the engine oil as soon as possible. In addi-
tion to these kilometer-based oil changes,
be sure to have a Yamaha dealer perform
the annual checks specified in the period-
ic maintenance and lubrication chart on
page 6-2.

NOTE:
The clock can only be set when the motor-
cycle is stopped. The clock does not auto-
matically 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.
EAU00101
Tachometer
The electric tachometer allows the rider to
monitor the engine speed and keep it with-
in the ideal power range.
EC000003
Do not operate the engine in the
tachometer red zone.
Red zone: 6,400 r/min and above.
CAUTION:

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 cir-
cuits.
This model is equipped with a self-diagno-
sis device for the following electrical cir-
cuits:
•speedometer
•tachometer
•oil level warning light
•throttle position sensor
•speed sensor.

If any of the above circuits are defective,
the tachometer will repeatedly display the
following error code:Use the chart below to identify the faulty
electrical circuit.
If the tachometer displays such an error
code, note the circuit-specific number of
r/min, and then have a Yamaha dealer
check the motorcycle.EC000004
When the tachometer displays an error
code, the motorcycle should be
checked as soon as possible in order
to avoid engine damage.

Check the fuel tank breather hose for
cracks or damage, and replace it if dam-
aged.
Make sure that the end of the fuel tank
breather hose is not blocked, and clean it if
necessary.

INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS
EW000044WARNING0
The motorcycle must not be ridden
with the sidestand down, or if the side-
stand cannot be properly moved up (or
does not stay up), otherwise the side-
stand could contact the ground and
distract the operator, resulting in a pos-
sible loss of control.
Yamaha’s ignition circuit cut-off sys-
tem has been designed to assist the
operator in fulfilling the responsibility
of raising the sidestand before starting
off. Therefore, check this system regu-
larly as described below and have a
Yamaha dealer repair it if it does not
function properly.
EAU03720
Ignition circuit cut-off system
The ignition circuit cut-off system (com-
prising the sidestand switch, clutch switch
and neutral switch) has the following func-
tions.
•It prevents starting when the trans-
mission is in gear and the sidestand
is up, but the clutch lever is not
pulled.
•It prevents starting when the trans-
mission is in gear and the clutch lever
is pulled, but the sidestand is still
down.
•It cuts the running engine when the
transmission is in gear and the side-
stand is moved down.Periodically check the operation of the ig-
nition circuit cut-off system according to
the following procedure.
EW000045WARNING0
If a malfunction is noted, have a Yamaha
dealer check the system before riding.

EAU01114PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
4-1
The condition of a vehicle is the owner’s responsibility.
Vital components can start to deteriorate quickly and unexpectedly, even if the vehicle remains unused (for example, as a result of ex-
posure to the elements).
Any damage, fluid leakage or loss of tire air pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important, in addition to a
thorough visual inspection, to check the following points before each ride.
