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 6-12.)
If the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator comes on (i.e. be-
fore the periodic oil change interval hasbeen 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 6-12.)
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
replaced.
The electrical circuit of the indicator can
be checked according to the followingprocedure.
1. Turn the key to “ON” and make
sure that the engine stop switch is
set to “”.
2. If the indicator does not come on,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.  
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
multi-function display will indicate a
two-digit error code.
If the multi-function display indicates
such an error code, note the code num-
ber, and then have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.
CAUTION:
 
 ECA11790 
If the multi-function display indi-
cates an error code, the vehicle
should be checked as soon as pos-
sible in order to avoid engine dam- 
age.  
This model is also equipped with a
self-diagnosis device for the immobiliz-

er system.
If any of the immobilizer system circuits
are defective, the immobilizer system
indicator light will flash, and then the
multi-function display will indicate a
two-digit error code when the key is
turned to “ON”.
NOTE:
 
If the multi-function display indicates er-
ror code 52, this could be caused by
transponder interference. If this error 
appears, 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 thevehicle, the code re-registering
key and both standard keys to a
Yamaha dealer and have the stan-
dard keys re-registered.
If the multi-function display indicates
any error codes, note the code number,
and then have a Yamaha dealer check
the vehicle. 
Clock mode 
To set the clock:
1. Push the “SELECT” button and
“RESET” button together for at
least two seconds.
2. When the hour digits start flashing,
push the “RESET” button to set the
hours.
3. Push the “SELECT” button, and
the minute digits will start flashing.
4. Push the “RESET” button to set
the minutes.
5. Push the “SELECT” button and
then release it to start the clock.
Pushing the “SELECT” button for
at least two seconds switches the
clock display to the ambient tem-
perature display. 
Ambient temperature display  
This display shows the ambient tem-
perature from –10 °C to 50 °C in 1 °C
increments. The temperature displayed
may vary from the ambient tempera-
ture. Pushing the “SELECT” button for
at least two seconds switches the am-
bient temperature display to the clock
display.
NOTE:
 
 
If the ambient temperature falls be-
low –10 °C, a lower temperature
than –10 °C will not be displayed. 
 
If the ambient temperature climbs
above 50 °C, a higher temperature
than 50 °C will not be displayed. 
 
The accuracy of the temperature
reading may be affected when
riding slowly (approximately under
20 km/h (12.5 mi/h)) or when
stopped at traffic signals, railroad 
crossings, etc.

ABS (for ABS models)  
The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con-
trol system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently. The ABS
securely controls wheel lockup during
emergency braking on changing road
surfaces and under various weather
conditions, thereby maximizing tire ad-
hesion and performance while provid-
ing a smooth braking action. The ABS
is monitored by an ECU (Electronic
Control Unit), which will have recourse
to manual braking if a malfunction oc-
curs.
WARNING
 
EWA10090 
 
The ABS performs best on long
braking distances. 
 
On certain (rough or gravel)
roads, the braking distance may
be longer with than without the
ABS. Therefore, always keep a
sufficient distance to the vehi-
cle ahead to match the riding 
speed.
NOTE:
 
 
When the ABS is activated, the
brakes are operated in the usual
way. A pulsating action may be felt
at the brake levers, but this does
not indicate a malfunction. 
 
This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience the
pulsating at the brake levers when
the ABS is operating. However,
special tools are required, so
please consult your Yamaha deal- 
er when performing this test.

CAUTION:
 
 ECA11400 
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause severe
damage to internal engine parts,
such as the valves and piston rings, 
as well as to the exhaust system. 
Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use regular unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
91 or higher. If knocking (or pinging) oc-
curs, use a gasoline of a different brand
or premium unleaded fuel. Use of un-
leaded fuel will extend spark plug life
and reduce maintenance costs. 
EAU13441 
Catalytic converter  
This vehicle is equipped with catalytic
converters in the exhaust system.
WARNING
 
EWA10860 
The exhaust system is hot after op-
eration. Make sure that the exhaust
system has cooled down before do- 
ing any maintenance work.
CAUTION:
 
 ECA10700 
The following precautions must be
observed to prevent a fire hazard or
other damages. 
 
Use only unleaded gasoline.
The use of leaded gasoline will
cause unrepairable damage to
the catalytic converter. 
 
Never park the vehicle near pos-
sible fire hazards such as grass
or other materials that easily
burn. 
 
Do not allow the engine to idle 
too long.
