Indicator and warning lights
EAUB0001
Oil level warning light “v”
This warning light comes on when the en-
gine oil level is low.
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked according to the following
procedure.
1. Turn the key to “
I” (ON). The warn-
ing light should come on for a few
seconds.
1. Oil level warning light “v”
2. Turn signal indicator light “y
y”
3. Neutral indicator light “N”
4. High beam indicator light “
1”
5. Fuel level warning light “K”
2. If the warning light does not come on,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.
NOTE:
Even if the oil level is sufficient, the warn-
ing light may flicker when riding on a slope
or during sudden acceleration or decelera-
tion, but this is not a malfunction.
NOTE:
This model is equipped with a self-diagno-
sis device for the oil level warning light cir-
cuit. (See page 3-6 for an explanation of
the self-diagnosis device).
EAU00057
Turn signal indicator light “y

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.

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.

INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS
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:
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.
