Never turn the key to “OFF” or
“LOCK” while the scooter is mov-
ing, otherwise the electrical sys-
tems will be switched off, which
may result in loss of control or an
accident. Make sure that the scoot-
er is stopped before turning the
key to “OFF” or “LOCK”.

The steering is locked, and the tail-
light, license light and auxiliary light
are on, but all other electrical sys-
tems are off. The key can be
removed.
To turn the main switch to “
.”:
1. Turn the key to “LOCK”.
2. Slightly turn the key counter-
clockwise until it stops.
3. While still turning the key coun-
terclockwise, push it in until it
snaps into place.

Do not use the parking position for
an extended length of time, other-
wise the battery may discharge.

ABS warning light “”ABS warning lightECA00019
cC
If the ABS warning light comes on
or flashes while riding, the ABS
may be defective. If this occurs,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.
See page 3-13 for an explanation of
the ABS.
The electrical circuit of the warning
light can be checked by setting the
engine stop switch to “#” and turning
the key to “ON”.
The warning light should come on for
a few seconds, and then go off. If the
warning light does not come on or
remains on, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.

When the ABS warning light
comes on or flashes while riding,
the brake system reverts to con-
ventional braking. Therefore, be
careful not to cause the wheel to
lock during emergency braking.
NOTE:
The ABS warning light may come on
while pushing the start switch and
while accelerating the engine with the
scooter on its centerstand, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.

Oil change indicator light “7”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.
NOTE:
The oil change indicator light may
flash when the engine is revved with
the scooter on the centerstand, but
this does not indicate a malfunction.

speed.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the
speedometer needle will move to
160 km/h and back to zero in order to
test the electrical circuit.

This scooter is equipped with
an engine speed limiter, which
prevents the engine speed
from exceeding approximately
9,000 r/min.
EAU04582
TachometerTachometerThe electric tachometer allows the
rider to monitor the engine speed and
keep it within the ideal power range.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the
tachometer needle will move to the
10,000 r/min and back to zero r/min
in order to test the electrical circuit.

Fuel gaugeFuel gaugeThe fuel gauge indicates the amount
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.

the battery voltage)
NOTE:
8When the key is turned to “ON”,
all segments of the display come
on for a few seconds. During this
time, the multi-function display is
performing a self-test.
8Be sure to turn the key to “ON”
before using the “SELECT” and
“RESET” buttons.
NOTE:
8The tripmeter reset mode auto-
matically cancels after five sec-
onds. To return to the reset
mode, push the “SELECT” but-
ton again until “Trip” begins
flashing.
8To cancel the tripmeter reset
mode, push the “SELECT” but-
ton.
8If the tripmeter indicates “––––”,
have a Yamaha dealer check or
repair the multi-function display
as it may be faulty.
Tripmeter “Trip”
To reset the tripmeter:
1. Push the “SELECT” button until
the voltage display appears, then
push the “SELECT” button one
more time and “Trip” starts flash-
ing.
2. Push the “RESET” button for at
least one second to reset the
tripmeter to zero.

Odometer “Odo”
The odometer has two functions.
8It shows the total distance trav-
eled.
8It automatically changes to the
fuel tripmeter mode “Trip F”
when the fuel level reaches
approximately 2.0 L. (See “Fuel
tripmeter” for details.)
NOTE:
If the odometer indicates “––––––”,
have a Yamaha dealer check or
repair the multi-function display as it
may be faulty.

Fuel tripmeter “Trip F”
When the fuel level reaches approxi-
mately 2.0 L, the odometer display
automatically changes to the fuel trip-
meter mode “Trip F” and starts count-
ing the distance traveled from that
point. After refueling and traveling
5 km, the odometer display returns to
“Odo”.To return to the odometer mode
before refueling, push the “SELECT”
button until “Trip F” begins flashing
(“Trip F” will only flash for five sec-
onds). While “Trip F” is flashing, push
the “RESET” button for at least one
second and the display will return to
the odometer mode. From that time,
both “Trip” and “Odo” are displayed
until you refuel and travel 5 km.
NOTE:
The display cannot be changed back
to “Trip F” after pushing the “RESET”
button.
