Engine trouble warning light “”
This warning light comes on when an
electrical circuit monitoring the engine
is defective. When this occurs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the self-diagno-
sis system. (See page 3-5 for an expla-
nation of the self-diagnosis device.)
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, then go off, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.

Immobilizer system indicator light
The electrical circuit of the indicator
light 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 24hours have passed, the indicator light
will stop flashing, however the immobi-
lizer system is still enabled.
This model is also equipped with a self-
diagnosis device for the immobilizer
system. (See page 3-5 for an explana-
tion of the self-diagnosis device.)

Multi-function meter unit
WARNING
EWA12421
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
making any setting changes to themulti-function meter unit.
The multi-function meter unit is
equipped with the following:
a speedometer (which shows the
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)

NOTE:Be sure to turn the key to “ON” before
using the “SELECT” switch “/”
and “RESET” switch, except for settingthe brightness control mode.Speedometer
The speedometer shows the riding
speed.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the
speedometer needle will sweep once
across the speed range and then return
to zero in order to test the electrical cir-
cuit.Odometer, tripmeter and fuel re-
serve tripmeter modes
Push the “” side of the “SELECT”
switch to switch the display between
the odometer mode “ODO”, the tripme-
ter modes “TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2” and
the clock mode in the following order:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → Clock →
ODO
NOTE:Push the “” side of the “SELECT”
switch to switch the display in the re-verse order.
If the fuel level warning light comes on
(see page 3-3), the odometer display
will automatically change to the fuel re-

start counting the distance traveled
from that point. In that case, push the
“” side of the “SELECT” switch to
switch the display between the various
tripmeter, odometer, and clock modes
in the following order:
F-TRIP → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → Clock
→ ODO → F-TRIP
NOTE:Push the “” side of the “SELECT”
switch to switch the display in the re-verse order.
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “” or “” side of the “SE-
LECT” switch, and then push the
“RESET” switch 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

ter/clock display will indicate a two-digit
error code.
This model is also equipped with a self-
diagnosis device for the immobilizer
system.
If any of the immobilizer system circuits
are defective, the immobilizer system
indicator light will flash, and then the
