Oil change indicator lightThis indicator light comes on at the
initial 1,000 km and every 3,000 km
thereafter to indicate that the engine
oil should be changed.
If the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator comes on (i.e.
before the periodic oil change interval
has been reached), the indicator light
must be reset after the oil change for
the next periodic oil change to be
indicated at the correct time. (See
page 6-17 for the resetting proce-
dure.)
The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked according to the
following procedure.
1. Set the engine stop switch to “#”
and turn the key to “ON”.
2. Check that the indicator comes
on for a few seconds and then
goes off.
3. If the indicator light does not
come on, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.

of fuel in the fuel tank. The needle
moves towards “E” (Empty) as the
fuel level decreases. When the nee-
dle reaches “E”, approximately 2 L of
fuel remain in the fuel tank. If this
occurs, refuel as soon as possible.NOTE:
Do not allow the fuel tank to empty
itself completely.
