NOTE:
After resetting the fuel reserve trip-
meter, the display will return to
“TRIP 1”, unless a different mode had
been previously selected; in that
case, the display automatically
returns to the prior mode.
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the amount
of fuel in the fuel tank. The display
segments of the fuel gauge disap-
pear towards “E” (Empty) as the fuel
level decreases. When only one seg-
ment is left near “E”, refuel as soon
as possible.Self-diagnosis device
This model is equipped with a self-
diagnosis device for various electrical
circuits.
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
number, and then have a Yamaha
dealer check the motorcycle.
ECA00120
cC
If the odometer/tripmeter indicates
an error code, the motorcycle
should be checked as soon as
possible in order to avoid engine
damage.

Tachometer unitTachometer unitThe 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
9,500 r/min and back to zero r/min in
order to test the electrical circuit.

Coolant temperature gaugeCoolant temperature gaugeWith the key in the “ON” position, the
coolant temperature gauge indicates
the temperature of the coolant. When
the key is turned to “ON”, the coolant
temperature gauge needle will move
to “H” and back to “C” in order to test
the electrical circuit. The coolant tem-
perature varies with changes in the
weather and engine load. If the nee-
dle reaches or enters the red zone,
stop the motorcycle and let the
engine cool. (See page 6-45 for fur-
ther instructions.)

8Always keep the battery
charged. Storing a discharged
battery can cause permanent
battery damage.
8To charge a sealed-type (MF)
battery, a special (constant-
voltage) battery charger is
required. Using a conventional
battery charger will damage
the battery. If you do not have
access to a sealed-type (MF)
battery charger, have a
Yamaha dealer charge your
battery.
