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.
EAU11872
Tachometer
The electric tachometer allows the rider
to monitor the engine speed and keep it
within the ideal power range.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the ta-
chometer needle will sweep once
across the r/min range and then return
to zero r/min in order to test the electri-
cal circuit.
CAUTION:

ECA10031
Do not operate the engine in the ta-
chometer red zone.
Red zone: 8250 r/min and above

The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:


a fuel meter

a coolant temperature meter

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 since
the bottom segment of the fuel
meter and fuel level warning indi-cator started flashing)

a self-diagnosis device

a clock

an ambient temperature display

an oil change indicator

a V-belt replacement indicator
NOTE:


Be sure to turn the key to “ON” be-
fore using the “SELECT” and “RE-
SET” buttons.

When the key is turned to “ON”, all
of the display segments of the
multi-function display will appear
one after the other and then disap-
pear, in order to test the electrical
circuit.
Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the “SELECT” button switches
the display between the odometer
mode “ODO” and the tripmeter modes
“TRIP” in the following order:
ODO
→
TRIP (top)
→
TRIP (bottom)
→
ODO
When approximately 2.8 L (0.74 US
gal) (0.62 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the bottom segment of the
fuel meter and fuel level warning indica-tor will start flashing, and the display will
automatically change to the fuel re-
serve 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 (top)
→
TRIP (bottom)
→
ODO
→
TRIP F
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button until “TRIP” or
“TRIP F” begins flashing (“TRIP” or
“TRIP F” will only flash for five sec-
onds). While “TRIP” or “TRIP F” is
flashing, 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 af-
ter refueling and traveling 5 km (3 mi).
NOTE:

The display cannot be changed back to
“TRIP F” after pushing the “RESET”
button.
Fuel meter
With the key in the “ON” position, the
fuel meter indicates the amount of fuel
in the fuel tank. The display segments
of the fuel meter disappear towards “E”
(Empty) as the fuel level decreases.
When the fuel level reaches the bottom
segment near “E”, the fuel level warn-
ing indicator and the bottom segment
will flash. Refuel as soon as possible.
Coolant temperature meter
With the key in the “ON” position, the
coolant temperature meter indicates
the temperature of the coolant. The
coolant temperature varies with chang-
es in the weather and engine load. If
the top segment and coolant tempera-
ture warning indicator flash, stop thevehicle and let the engine cool. (See
page 6-40.)
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 6-13.)
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 6-13.)
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 following

5. Install the final transmission oil
drain bolt, and then tighten it to the
specified torque.
6. Add the specified amount of the
recommended final transmission
oil, and then install and tighten the
oil filler cap.
WARNING

EWA11310

Make sure that no foreign mate-
rial enters the final transmission
case.

Make sure that no oil gets on the
tire or wheel.
7. Check the final transmission case
for oil leakage. If oil is leaking,
check for the cause.
EAU20070
Coolant
The coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the cool-
ant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAU34192
To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
NOTE:


The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level
varies with engine temperature.

Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking
the coolant level. A slight tilt to the
side can result in a false reading.
2. Pull up the right floorboard mat as
shown.
1. Final transmission oil filler cap
2. Final transmission oil drain bolt

If water has been added to the
coolant, have a Yamaha dealer
check the antifreeze content of
the coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise the effectiveness of
the coolant will be reduced.
WARNING

EWA10380
Never attempt to remove the radiator
cap when the engine is hot.
6. Install the coolant reservoir cover
by installing the screw.
7. Place the right floorboard mat in
the original position.
NOTE:


The radiator fan is automatically
switched on or off according to the
coolant temperature in the radia-
tor.

If the engine overheats, see page
6-40 for further instructions.

Air filter elements and check
hoses and V-belt case air filter
element
The air filter elements and the V-belt
case air filter element should be ser-
viced at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart. Service all air filter elements
more frequently if you are riding in un-
usually wet or dusty areas.
Replacing the air filter elements
1. Place the scooter on the center-
stand.
NOTE:

Continue as follows for each air filter el-
ement.
2. Remove the air filter case cover by
removing the rubber cap and
screws.
