Fuel gauge The fuel gauge indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The needle moves
towards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When the remaining fuel in
the tank reaches approximately 1.9 L
(0.50 US gal) (0.42 Imp.gal), the fuel
level warning light will come on and the
multi-function display will automatically
change to the “Trip/fuel” mode. (See
page 3-4.) If this occurs, refuel as soon
as possible.NOTE:Do not allow the fuel tank to empty itselfcompletely.
EAUM1101
Battery voltage/coolant
temperature gauge When the key is turned to “”, this
gauge indicates the battery voltage lev-
el before the engine was stopped.NOTE:If the needle drops to the “9V” (low)
mark, have a Yamaha dealer check thebattery.
When the key is turned to “”, this
gauge indicates the coolant tempera-
ture. If the needle reaches the red
zone, stop the scooter and allow the
engine to cool. (See page 6-31.)
CAUTION:

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, the time passed
since the tripmeters were set to ze-
ro, and the average speed traveled
during this time)


a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled since
the fuel level warning light came
on)


a clock


an ambient temperature display


an oil change indicator (which
comes on when the engine oil
should be changed)
NOTE:

For the UK, the distance traveled
is displayed in miles and the tem-
perature reading is displayed in °F.


For other countries, the distance
traveled is displayed in kilometers
and the temperature reading is dis-played in °C.
Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the “MODE” button switches
the display between the odometer
mode “Total” and the tripmeter modes
“Trip” in the following order:
Total → Trip 1 → Trip 2 → Trip/fuel →
Total
NOTE:

The Trip/fuel odometer is only acti-
vated if the fuel level warning light
comes on.


The Trip 2 odometer is automati-
cally reset after turning the key to“” and two hours have passed.
Pushing the “SET” button when in the
tripmeter mode switches the display
between the different tripmeter func-
tions in the following order:
Trip 1 or Trip 2 → Time 1 or 2 → Aver-
age speed 1 or 2 → Trip 1 or Trip 2

If the fuel level warning light comes on
(See page 3-3.), the display will auto-
matically change to the fuel reserve
tripmeter mode “Trip/fuel” and start
counting the distance traveled from that
point. In that case, pushing the “MODE”
button switches the display between
the various tripmeter and odometer
modes in the following order:
Trip/Fuel → Trip 1 → Trip 2 → Total →
Trip/fuelTo reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “MODE” button, and then push
the “SET” button for at least one sec-
ond. If you do not reset the fuel reserve
tripmeter manually, it will reset itself au-
tomatically and the display will return to
the prior mode after refueling and trav-
eling 5 km (3 mi).
Clock mode
To set the clock:
1. When the display is in the “Total”
mode, push the “SET” button for at
least two seconds.
2. When the hour digits start flashing,
push the “SET” button to set the

3 Ambient temperature display
This display shows the ambient tem-
perature from –30 °C (–86 °F) to 50 °C
(122 °F).
The frost warning indicator “” auto-
matically comes on if the temperature is
lower than 3 °C (37.4 °F).Oil change indicator “OIL”
The engine oil should be changed
when this indicator comes on. The indi-
cator stays on until it is reset. After
changing the engine oil, reset the indi-
cator as follows.
1. While holding the “MODE” and
“SET” buttons pushed, turn the key
to “”.
2. Continue holding the “MODE” and
“SET” buttons pushed for two to
five seconds.
3. Release the buttons and the oil
change indicator will go off.
NOTE:

The oil change indicator will come
on at the initial 1000 km (600 mi)
and every 3000 km (4800 mi)
thereafter.


If the engine oil is changed before
the oil change indicator comes on
(i.e. before the periodic oil change
interval has been reached), the in-
dicator must be reset after the oil
change for the next periodic oil
change to be indicated at the cor-
rect time. After resetting, the indi-
cator will come on for two seconds.
If the indicator does not come on,repeat the procedure.
