The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:


a fuel meter

a coolant temperature meter

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 bottom segment of the fuelmeter and fuel level warning indi-
cator started flashing)

a self-diagnosis device

a clock

an oil change indicator

a V-belt replacement indicator
NOTE:


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

When the key is turned to “ON”, all
of the display segments of the
multi-function display will appear
one after the other and then disap-
pear, in order to test the electrical
circuit.
Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the “SELECT” button switches
the display between the odometer
mode “ODO” and the tripmeter modes
“TRIP” in the following order:
ODO
→
TRIP (top)
→
TRIP (bottom)
→
ODO
When approximately 2.8 L (0.74 US
gal) (0.62 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the bottom segment of thefuel meter and fuel level warning indica-
tor will start flashing, and the display will
automatically change to the fuel re-
serve 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 (top)
→
TRIP (bottom)
→
ODO
→
TRIP F
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button until “TRIP” or
“TRIP F” begins flashing (“TRIP” or
“TRIP F” will only flash for five sec-
onds). While “TRIP” or “TRIP F” is

flashing, 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 af-
ter refueling and traveling 5 km (3 mi).
NOTE:

The display cannot be changed back to
“TRIP F” after pushing the “RESET”
button.
Fuel meter
With the key in the “ON” position, the
fuel meter indicates the amount of fuel
in the fuel tank. The display segments
of the fuel meter disappear towards “E”
(Empty) as the fuel level decreases.
When the fuel level reaches the bottom
segment near “E”, the fuel level warn-
ing indicator and the bottom segment
will flash. Refuel as soon as possible.
Coolant temperature meter
With the key in the “ON” position, the
coolant temperature meter indicates
the temperature of the coolant. The
coolant temperature varies with chang-
es in the weather and engine load. Ifthe top segment and coolant tempera-
ture warning indicator flash, stop the
vehicle and let the engine cool. (See
page 6-33.)
CAUTION:

ECA10020
Do not operate the engine if it is
overheated.
Oil change indicator “OIL”
This indicator flashes at the initial
1000 km (600 mi), then at 5000 km
(3000 mi) and every 5000 km (3000 mi)
thereafter to indicate that the engine
oil should be changed.
After changing the engine oil, reset the
oil change indicator. (See page 6-10.)
If the engine oil is changed before theoil change indicator comes on (i.e. be-
fore the periodic oil change interval has
been reached), the indicator must be
reset after the oil change for the next
periodic oil change to be indicated at
the correct time. (See page 6-10.)
The electrical circuit of the indicator 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 does not come on,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.
NOTE:

The oil change indicator may flash
when the engine is revved with the
scooter on the centerstand, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.
V-belt replacement indicator
“V-BELT”
This indicator flashes every 20000 km
(12500 mi) when the V-belt needs to be

2. Clean the surface of the spark plug
gasket and its mating surface, and
then wipe off any grime from the
spark plug threads.
3. Install the spark plug with the
spark plug wrench, and then tight-
en it to the specified torque.
NOTE:

If a torque wrench is not available wheninstalling a spark plug, a good estimate
of the correct torque is 1/4–1/2 turn
past finger tight. However, the spark
plug should be tightened to the speci-
fied torque as soon as possible.
4. Install the spark plug cap.
5. Place the spark plug cover in the
original position as shown, and
then install the cowling.

Engine oil and oil filter
cartridge
The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil filter car-
tridge replaced at the intervals speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on the center-
stand.
CAUTION:

ECA11290
The engine must be cold before pro-
ceeding with the oil level check, oth-
erwise the check will result in a false
reading.
NOTE:

Make sure that the vehicle is positioned
straight up when checking the oil level.
A slight tilt to the side can result in a
false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for two
minutes, and then turn it off.
3. Wait two minutes until the oil set-

tles, and then check the oil level
through the check window located
at the bottom-left side of the crank-
case.
NOTE:

The engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
4. If the engine oil is below the mini-
mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.
To change the engine oil (with or
without oil filter cartridge replace-
ment)
1. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
2. Place an oil pan under the engine
to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the engine oil filler cap
and drain bolt to drain the oil from
the crankcase.
NOTE:

Skip steps 4–6 if the oil filter cartridge is
not being replaced.
4. Remove the oil filter cartridge with
an oil filter wrench.
