ABS warning light “” (for ABS
models)
If this warning light comes on or flashes
while riding, the ABS may be defective.
If this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer
check the system as soon as possible.
(See page 3-12.)
WARNING
EWA10081
If the ABS warning light comes on or
flashes while riding, the brake sys-
tem reverts to conventional braking.
Therefore, be careful not to cause
the wheels to lock during emergen-
cy braking. If the warning light
comes on or flashes while riding,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
brake system as soon as possible.
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by turning the key to
“ON”.
If the warning light does not come on or
remains on, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.
EAU38610
Immobilizer system indicator light
The electrical circuit of the indicatorlight 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 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.

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
1. Speedometer
2. Odometer/tripmeter
3. “SELECT” button
4. “RESET” button

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.
Self-diagnosis device
This model is equipped with a self-diag-
nosis device for various electrical cir-
cuits.
If any of those circuits are defective, the
odometer/tripmeter will indicate a
two-digit error code (e.g., 11, 12, 13).
If the odometer/tripmeter indicates
such an error code, note the code num-
ber, and then have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.
CAUTION:
ECA11520
If the odometer/tripmeter indicates
an error code, the vehicle should be
checked as soon as possible in or-
der to avoid engine damage.

9 To charge the battery
Have a Yamaha dealer charge the bat-
tery as soon as possible if it seems to
have discharged. Keep in mind that the
battery tends to discharge more quickly
if the vehicle is equipped with optional
electrical accessories.
To store the battery
1. If the vehicle will not be used for
more than one month, remove the
battery, fully charge it, and then
place it in a cool, dry place.
2. If the battery will be stored for more
than two months, check it at least
once a month and fully charge it if
necessary.
3. Fully charge the battery before in-
stallation.
4. After installation, make sure that
the battery leads are properly con-
nected to the battery terminals.
CAUTION:
ECA10630
Always keep the battery
charged. Storing a discharged
battery can cause permanent
battery damage.
To charge a sealed-type (MF)battery, a special (constant-volt-
age) battery charger is required.
Using a conventional battery
charger will damage the battery.
If you do not have access to a
sealed-type (MF) battery charg-
er, have a Yamaha dealer
charge your battery.
