High beam indicator light “”
This indicator light comes on when the
high beam of the headlight is switched
on.
EAU11120
Oil level warning light “”
This warning light comes on when the
engine oil level is low.
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by turning the key to
“ON”.
If the warning light does not come on
for a few seconds, then go off, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical cir-
cuit.NOTE:Even if the oil level is sufficient, the
warning light may flicker when riding on
a slope or during sudden acceleration
or deceleration, but this is not a mal-function.
EAU27020
Immobilizer system indicator light
“”
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.
When the key is turned to “OFF” and 30
seconds have passed, the indicator
light will start flashing indicating the im-
mobilizer system is enabled. After 24
hours have passed, the indicator light
will stop flashing, however the immobi-
lizer 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 light will start flash-
ing a pattern when the key is turned to
“ON”. When this occurs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the self-diagno-
sis system. However, if the indicator
light slowly flashes five times, and then
quickly flashes two times repeatedly,this error could be caused by signal in-
terference. If this occurs, try the follow-
ing.
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 enginefrom 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.

Speedometer The speedometer shows the riding
speed.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the
speedometer needle will sweep once
across the speed range and then return
to zero in order to test the electrical cir-
cuit.
EAU11872
Tachometer The 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 ta-
chometer needle will sweep once
across the r/min range and then return
to zero r/min in order to test the electri-
cal circuit.CAUTION:
ECA10031
Do not operate the engine in the ta-
chometer red zone.Red zone: 9500 r/min and above

Self-diagnosis device This model is equipped with a self-diag-
nosis device for the following electrical
circuits:
throttle position sensor
speed sensor
If any of those circuits are defective, the
tachometer will repeatedly display the
following error code:
Use the table below to identify the faulty
electrical circuit.
If the tachometer displays such an error
code, note the circuit-specific number
of r/min, and then have a Yamaha deal-
er check the vehicle.

When the tachometer displays an er-
ror code, the vehicle should be
checked as soon as possible in or-der to avoid engine damage.
EAU33572
Multi-function display The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:
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 meter
a clock
NOTE:Be sure to turn the key to “ON” before
using the “SELECT” and “RESET” but-tons.
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
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button, and then
push the “RESET” button for at least
one second. The tripmeters can be
used to estimate the distance that can
be traveled with a full tank of fuel. This
information will enable you to plan fu-
ture fuel stops.
Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel meter disappear to-
wards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When only one segment is
left near “E”, refuel as soon as possible.

have a Yamaha dealer check the elec-trical circuit.
Clock mode
To set the clock:1. Turn the key to “ON”.
2. Push the “SELECT” button and
“RESET” button together for at
least two seconds.
3. When the hour digits start flashing,
push the “RESET” button to set the
hours.
4. Push the “SELECT” button, and
the minute digits will start flashing.
5. Push the “RESET” button to set
the minutes.
6. Push the “SELECT” button and
then release it to start the clock.

EAU21960
Cast wheels To maximize the performance, durabil-
ity, and safe operation of your vehicle,
note the following points regarding the
specified wheels.
The wheel rims should be checked
for cracks, bends or warpage be-
fore each ride. If any damage is
found, have a Yamaha dealer re-
place the wheel. Do not attempt
even the smallest repair to the
wheel. A deformed or cracked
wheel must be replaced.
The wheel should be balanced
whenever either the tire or wheel
has been changed or replaced. An
unbalanced wheel can result in
poor performance, adverse han-
dling characteristics, and a short-
ened tire life.
Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire sur-
face must first be “broken in” for it
to develop its optimal characteris-
tics.
EAU22071
Clutch lever free play Since this model is equipped with a hy-
draulic clutch, adjusting the clutch lever
free play is not needed. However, it is
necessary to check the clutch fluid level
and check the hydraulic system for
leakage before each ride. If the clutch
lever free play does become excessive,
and shifting becomes rough or clutch
slippage occurs, causing poor acceler-
ation, there may be air in the clutch sys-
tem. If there is air in the hydraulic
system, have a Yamaha dealer bleed
the system before operating the motor-
cycle.
EAU22240
Adjusting the brake pedal
position The top of the brake pedal should be
positioned approximately 40.0 mm
(1.57 in) below the top of the footrest as
shown. Periodically check the brake
pedal position and, if necessary, have a
Yamaha dealer adjust it.
WARNING
EWA10690
A soft or spongy feeling in the brake
pedal can indicate the presence of
air in the hydraulic system. If there is
air in the hydraulic system, have a
Yamaha dealer bleed the system be-
fore operating the motorcycle. Air in
the hydraulic system will diminish1. Distance between brake pedal and footrest
