light will start flashing indicating the im-
mobilizer system is enabled. After
24 hours have passed, the indicator
light will stop flashing, however the im-
mobilizer system is still enabled.NOTE:_ This model is also equipped with a self-
diagnosis device for the immobilizer
system. If the immobilizer system is de-
fective, the indicator will start flashing
and the multi-function meter will display
an error code. (See “Self-diagnosis de-
vice” on page 3-9 for details.) _
EAU04975
Shift timing indicator light
This indicator light can be set to come
on and go off at the desired engine
speeds and is used to inform the rider

gear.
The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked by turning the key
to “ON”.If the indicator light does not come on
for a few seconds, then go off, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical cir-
cuit. (See pages 3-10–3-12 for a de-
tailed explanation of the function of this
indicator light and on how to set it.)

Multi-function display The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:

a speedometer (which shows the
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 since
the fuel level warning light came
on)


a clock


a self-diagnosis device


a display brightness and shift tim-
ing indicator light control mode
NOTE:_

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


For the U.K. only: To switch the
speedometer and odometer/trip-
meter displays between kilome-
ters and miles, press the
“SELECT” 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 3-4), the odometer display
will automatically change to the fuel re-
serve tripmeter mode “F-TRIP” 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:
F-TRIP
→ TRIP 1
→ TRIP 2
→ ODO
→ F-TRIP

3To 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
Turn the key to “ON”.
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.
To set the clock:
1. Push the “SELECT” button and
“RESET” button together for at
least two seconds.
2. When the hour digits start flashing,
push the “RESET” button to set
the hours.
3. Push the “SELECT” button, and
the minute digits will start flashing.4. Push the “RESET” button to set
the minutes.
5. Push the “SELECT” button and
then release it to start the clock.
Self-diagnosis devices
This model is equipped with a self-di-
agnosis device for various electrical cir-
cuits.
If any of those circuits are defective,
the engine trouble warning light will
come on, and then the multi-function
display will indicate a two-digit error
code (e.g., 11, 12, 13).
This model is also equipped with a self-
diagnosis device for the immobilizer
system.
If any of the immobilizer system circuits
are defective, the immobilizer system
indicator light will flash, and then the
multi-function display will indicate a
two-digit error code (e.g., 51, 52, 53).
NOTE:_ If the multi-function display indicates
error code 52, this could be caused by
transponder interference. If this error
appears, try the following. _1. Use the code re-registering key to
start the engine.NOTE:_ Make sure there are no other immobi-
lizer keys close to the main switch, and
do not keep more than one immobilizer
key on the same key ring! Immobilizer
system keys may cause signal interfer-
ence, which may prevent the engine
from starting. _2. If the engine starts, turn it off, and
try starting the engine with the
standard keys.
3. If one or both of the standard keys
do not start the engine, take the
vehicle, the code re-registering
key and both standard keys to a
Yamaha dealer and have the stan-
dard keys re-registered.

tivity function1. Push the “RESET” button to select
one of the following indicator light
activity settings:
a. The indicator light will stay on

activated. (This setting is selected
when the indicator light flashes
four times per second.)
c. The indicator light is deactivated;
in other words, it will not come on
or flash. (This setting is selected
when the indicator light flashes
once every two seconds.)
