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 immobiliz-
er system. If the immobilizer system is
defective, the indicator light will start
flashing a pattern and the odometer/
tripmeter will display a 2-digit code
when the key is turned to “ON”. When
this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer
check the self-diagnosis system. How-
ever, if the indicator light slowly flashes
five times, and then quickly flashes two
times repeatedly, error code 52 will be
displayed. This error could be caused
by signal interference. If this occurs, 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.
EAU11911
Tachometer unit
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.

This tachometer unit is equipped with a
clock.
To set the clock:
1. Push both the “SELECT” and “RE-
SET” buttons for at least two sec-
onds.
2. When the hour digits start flashing,
push the “RESET” button to set the
hours.
3. Push the “SELECT” button to
change the minutes.
4. When the minute digits start flash-
ing, push the “RESET” button to
set the minutes.
5. Push the “SELECT” button to start
the clock.
NOTE:


After setting the clock, be sure to
push the “SELECT” button before
turning the key to “OFF”, otherwise
the clock will not be set.

When the key is turned to “OFF”,
the clock display will remain on for
48 hours and then go off to prevent
the battery from discharging.
EAU12181
Coolant temperature gauge
With 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 sweep
once across the temperature range and
then return to “C” in order to test the
electrical circuit. The coolant tempera-
ture varies with changes in the weather
and engine load. If the needle reaches
or enters the red zone, stop the vehicle
and let the engine cool. (See
page 6-33.)
CAUTION:

ECA10020
Do not operate the engine if it is
overheated.

Multi-function display
WARNING

EWA12311
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
making any setting changes to the
multi-function display.
The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:

a digital speedometer (which
shows 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 on the
fuel reserve)

a fuel gauge

a self-diagnosis device
NOTE:


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

For the U.K. only: To switch the
speedometer and odometer/trip-
meter displays between kilometers
and miles, press the “SELECT”
button for at least one second.
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 indicator flash-
es (see page 3-3), the odometer dis-
play will automatically change to the
fuel reserve tripmeter mode “TRIP F”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:
TRIP F
→
TRIP 1
→
TRIP 2
→
ODO
→
TRIP F
To 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 (3 mi).
NOTE:

The display cannot be changed back to
“TRIP F” after pushing the “RESET”
button.
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel gauge disappear to-
wards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When only one segment is
left near “E”, the fuel level warning indi-
cator and the last fuel gauge segment
will flash. Refuel as soon as possible.
