Oil level/coolant temperature warn-
ing light “”
This warning light has the following
three functions.

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.


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 6-45 for further instruc-
tions.)


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:


Put the transmission in neutral or
apply the clutch lever.


Turn the engine stop switch to
“” and the key to “ON”.


The warning light will come on,
and symbols “” and “” will
appear in the display.
If the warning light does not come on,
have a Yamaha dealer inspect the
electrical circuit.

CAUTION:_

Do not operate the motorcycle
until you know that the engine
oil level is sufficient.


Do not operate the engine if it is
overheated.
_NOTE:_ Even if the oil is filled to the specified
level, the warning light may flicker
when riding on a slope or during sud-
den acceleration or deceleration, but
this is normal. _

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 clock
NOTE:_

Be sure to turn the key to “ON” be-
fore using the “SELECT” and “RE-
SET” buttons.


For the U.K. only: To switch the
speedometer display between ki-
lometers and miles, press the “SE-
LECT” 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, 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 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.
