3Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel meter disappear to-
wards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When the last segment on
the left starts flashing, refuel as soon as
possible.
NOTE:This fuel meter is equipped with a self-
diagnosis system. If the electrical circuit
is defective, the following cycle will be
repeated until the malfunction is cor-
rected: “E” (Empty), “F” (Full) and
symbol“” will flash eight times, thengo off for approximately 3 seconds. If
this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.
Coolant temperature mode
The coolant temperature display indi-
cates the temperature of the coolant.
Push the “RESET” button to switch the
coolant temperature display to the air
intake temperature display.NOTE:When the coolant temperature display
is selected, “C” is displayed for one
second, and then the coolant tempera-ture is displayed.
CAUTION:
ECA10020
Do not operate the engine if it isoverheated.
Air intake temperature mode
The air intake temperature display indi-
cates the temperature of the air drawn
into the air filter case. Push the “RE-
SET” button to switch the coolant tem-
perature display to the air intake
temperature display.NOTE:

Even if the air intake temperature
is set to be displayed, the coolant
temperature warning light comes
on when the engine overheats.

The annual checks must be performed every year, except if a kilometer-based maintenance, or for the UK, a
mileage-based maintenance, is performed instead.


From 50000 km (30000 mi), repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 10000 km (6000 mi).

Engine oil and oil filter car-
tridge The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil filter car-
tridge replaced at the intervals speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.NOTE:
Make sure that the vehicle is positioned
straight up when checking the oil level.
A slight tilt to the side can result in afalse reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil set-
tles, and then check the oil level
through the check window located
at the bottom-right side of the
crankcase.
NOTE:The engine oil should be between theminimum and maximum level marks.
4. If the engine oil is below the mini-
mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.
To change the engine oil (with or
without oil filter cartridge replace-
ment)
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face.2. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Place an oil pan under the engine
to collect the used oil.
4. Remove the engine oil filler cap
and drain bolt to drain the oil from
the crankcase.
NOTE:Skip steps 5–7 if the oil filter cartridge isnot being replaced.
5. Remove the oil filter cartridge with
an oil filter wrench.
