EAU04238
Engine trouble warning light “”
This warning light comes on or flashes
when an electrical circuit monitoring
the engine is defective. When this oc-
curs, have a Yamaha dealer check the
self-diagnosis system.NOTE:_ This warning light comes on for a few
seconds when the key is turned to
“ON”, but this does not indicate a mal-
function. _
EAU04301
Oil level warning light “”
This warning light comes on when the
engine oil level is low.
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked according to the fol-
lowing procedure.
1. Turn the key to “ON”.
2. If the warning light does not come
on for a few seconds, then go off,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.
NOTE:_ Even if the oil level is sufficient, the
warning light may flicker when riding on
a slope or during sudden acceleration
or deceleration, but this is not a mal-
function. _
EAU04428*
Speedometer unit The speedometer unit is equipped with
the following:
a digital speedometer (which
shows riding speed)
an odometer (which shows the to-
tal distance traveled)
two tripmeters (which show the
distance traveled since they were
last set to zero)
a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled on the
fuel reserve)

a fuel gauge
a self-diagnosis device
NOTE:_ Be sure to turn the key to “ON” before
using the “SELECT” and “RESET” but-
tons. _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 symbol flashes
(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, pushing
the “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 FTo reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button, and then
push the “RESET” button. If you do not
reset the fuel reserve tripmeter manu-
ally, it will reset itself automatically and
the display will return to “TRIP 1” after
refueling and traveling 5 km.
NOTE:_ After resetting the fuel reserve tripme-
ter, the display will return to “TRIP 1”,
unless a different mode had been pre-
viously selected; in that case, the dis-
play automatically returns to the prior
mode. _Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel gauge disappear to-
wards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When only one segment is
left near “E”, refuel as soon as possi-
ble.Self-diagnosis device
This model is equipped with a self-di-
agnosis device for various electrical cir-
cuits.
If any of those circuits are defective,
the odometer/tripmeter will indicate a
two-digit error code (e.g., 11, 12, 13).
If the odometer/tripmeter indicates
such an error code, note the code num-
ber, and then have a Yamaha dealer
check the motorcycle.
ECA00120
CAUTION:_ If the odometer/tripmeter indicates
an error code, the motorcycle
should be checked as soon as pos-
sible in order to avoid engine dam-
age. _

EAU00186
CAUTION:_
Immediately wipe off spilled fuel
with a clean, dry, soft cloth,
since fuel may deteriorate paint-
ed surfaces or plastic parts.
For Germany only: Whenever
replacement is necessary, use a
fuel tank cap of the same spe-
cial design as the original.
_
EAU04284ECA00104
CAUTION:_ Use only unleaded gasoline. The
use of leaded gasoline will cause se-
vere damage to internal engine
parts, such as the valves and piston
rings, as well as to the exhaust sys-
tem. _Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use regular unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
91 or higher. If knocking (or pinging)
occurs, use a gasoline of a different
brand or premium unleaded fuel. Use
of unleaded fuel will extend spark plug
life and reduce maintenance costs.
EAU00196
Fuel tank breather hose
(for Germany only) Before operating the motorcycle:
Check the fuel tank breather hose
connection.
Check the fuel tank breather hose
for cracks or damage, and replace
it if damaged.
Make sure that the end of the fuel
tank breather hose is not blocked
and clean it if necessary. Recommended fuel:
