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.

Tachometer
The electric tachometer allows the rider to
monitor the engine speed and keep it with-
in the ideal power range.
EC000003

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