seconds have passed, the indicator
light will start flashing indicating the im-
mobilizer system is enabled. After 24
hours have passed, the indicator light
will stop flashing, however the immobi-
lizer system is still enabled.

diagnosis device for the immobilizer
system. (See page 3-8 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)


a tachometer (which shows the en-
gine speed)


a fuel gauge


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 on the
fuel reserve)


a clock


a self-diagnosis device


a brightness control mode
NOTE:

Be sure to turn the key to “ON” be-
fore using the “SELECT” and reset
switches, except for setting the
brightness control mode.


For the U.K. only: To switch the
speedometer and odometer/trip-
meter displays between kilometers
and miles, press the “SELECT”switch for at least two seconds.

3 Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The needle moves
towards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When the needle reaches
“E”, approximately 3.0 L (0.79 US gal)
(0.66 Imp.gal) remain in the fuel tank. If
this occurs, refuel as soon as possible.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the fuel
gauge needle will sweep once across
the fuel level range and then return to
the current amount in order to test the
electrical circuit.
NOTE:

Do not allow the fuel tank to empty
itself completely.


The fuel gauge does not indicate
the correct fuel level for the first 5km/h (3 mi/h) after refueling.
Odometer, tripmeters, fuel reserve
tripmeter and clock
Push the “SELECT” switch to switch
the display between the odometer
mode “ODO”, the tripmeter modes
“TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2” and the clock
mode in the following order:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → Clock →
ODO
If the fuel level warning light comes on
(see page 3-4), the odometer display
will automatically change to the fuel re-
serve tripmeter mode “F-TRIP” andstart counting the distance traveled
from that point. In that case, push the
“SELECT” switch to switch the display
between the various tripmeter, odome-
ter, and clock modes in the following or-
der:
F-TRIP → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → Clock
→ ODO → F-TRIP
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” switch, and then
push the reset switch for at least one
second. If you do not reset the fuel re-
serve tripmeter manually, it will reset it-
self automatically, and the display will
return to the prior mode after refueling
and traveling 5 km (3 mi).

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
engine trouble warning light will come
on or flash, and then the odometer/trip-
meter/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
display will indicate a two-digit error
code.
NOTE:If the display indicates error code 52,
this could be caused by transponder in-
terference. If this error code 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 enginefrom 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-registeringkey and both standard keys to a
Yamaha dealer and have the stan-
dard keys re-registered.
If the odometer/tripmeter/clock display
indicates any error codes, note the
code number, and then have a Yamaha
dealer check the vehicle.
CAUTION:
ECA11590
If the display indicates an error
code, the vehicle should be checked
as soon as possible in order to avoidengine damage.
