overheated.
EAU11530
Engine trouble warning light “ U”
This warning light comes on or flashes
when an electrical circuit monitoring
the engine is defective. When this oc-
curs, have a Yamaha dealer check the
self-diagnosis system. (See page 3-7
for an explanation 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

Tachometer
1. Tachometer
2. Red zone
The 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
tachometer needle will sweep once
across the r/min range and then return
to zero r/min in order to test the elec-
trical circuit.
ECA10030CAUTION:
Do not operate the engine in the
tachometer red zone.
Red zone: 7,500 r/min and above.

Tripmeter and tachometer modes
1. “SELECT” button
2. “RESET” button
Pushing the "SELECT" button switch-
es the display between the tripmeter
modes "TRIP 1" and "TRIP 2" in the
following order:
TRIP 1
6TRIP 2 6TRIP 1
When the fuel amount in the fuel tank
decreases to 6.7 L (1.77 US gal) (1.47
Imp.gal), the bottom segment of the
fuel meter will start flashing, and the
tripmeter display will automatically
change to the fuel reserve tripmeter
mode “F-TRIP” and start counting the
distance traveled from that point. In
that case, pushing the "SELECT" but-

ton switches the display between the
various tripmeter modes in the follow-
ing order:
F-TRIP
6TRIP 1 6TRIP 2 6F-TRIP
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the "SELECT" button, and then
push the "RESET" button for at least
four seconds. If you do not reset the
fuel reserve tripmeter manually, it will
reset itself automatically and the dis-
play will return to the prior mode after
refueling and traveling 5 km (3 mi).

towards "E" (Empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When only one segment is
left near "E" (Empty), refuel as soon
as possible.
NOTE:
This fuel meter is equipped with a self-
diagnosis system. If the electrical circuit
is defective, all the segments will start

NOTE:
If the indicator light slowly flashes five
times, and then quickly flashes two
times repeatedly, this error could be
caused by transponder interference. If
this occurs, 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 immobiliz-
er key on the same key ring! Immobi-
lizer system keys may cause signal in-
terference, 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 the
vehicle, the code re-registering
key and both standard keys to a
Yamaha dealer and have the
standard keys re-registered. If the immobilizer system indicator
light continues to flash, have a Yama-
ha dealer check the vehicle.
