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, and then go off,
have a Yamaha dealer check the elec-
trical circuit.
NOTE:
This model is also equipped with a
self-diagnosis device for the fuel level
detection circuit. If the fuel level detec-
tion circuit is defective, the following
cycle will be repeated until the mal-
function is corrected: The fuel level
warning light will flash eight times, and
then go off for 3.0 seconds. If this oc-
curs, have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle.

Be sure to stop the vehicle before
making any setting changes to the
multi-function meter unit.
The multi-function meter unit is equip-
ped with the following:
a speedometer (which shows the
riding speed)
a tachometer (which shows en-
gine 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
an indicator lights brightness con-
trol mode
To switch the speedometer and
odometer/tripmeter displays between
kilometers and miles, push the “SE-
LECT” and “RESET” buttons together
and turn the key to “ON”. When the
digits start flashing on the display,
push the “SELECT” button to choose
kilometers or miles.
NOTE:
Be sure to turn the key to “ON” before
using the “SELECT” and “RESET”
buttons.

Tachometer
1. Tachometer
2. Red zone
The electric tachometer allows the rid-
er to monitor the engine speed and
keep it within the ideal power range.
ECA10031CAUTION:
Do not operate the engine in the
tachometer red zone.
Red zone: 7,500 r/min and above.
Odometer, tripmeter modes
1. “SELECT” button
2. “RESET” button
Pushing the “SELECT” button switch-
es the display between the odometer
mode “ODO” and the tripmeter modes
“TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2” in the following
order:
ODO
6TRIP 1 6TRIP 2 6ODO
If the fuel level warning light comes on
(see page 3-4), the odometer display
will automatically change to the fuel
reserve tripmeter mode “F-TRIP” and
start counting the distance traveled
from that point. In that case, push the
“SELECT” button to switch the display
between the various tripmeter,
odometer modes in the following or-
der:
F-TRIP
6ODO 6TRIP 1 6TRIP 2
6F-TRIP
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button, and then
push the “RESET” button for at least
four seconds. If you do not reset the
fuel reserve tripmeter manually, it will
reset itself automatically and the dis-
play will return to the prior mode after
refueling and traveling 5 km (3 mi).

Periodic maintenance and lubrication chart
NOTE:
The annual checks must be performed every year, except if a kilometer-based maintenance is performed in-
stead.
From 50000 km, repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 10000 km.
Items marked with an asterisk should be performed by a Yamaha dealer as they require special tools, data and tech-
nical skills.
