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.NOTICE
ECA10031
Do not operate the engine in the ta-
chometer red zone.Red zone: 9000 r/min and above

Multi-function display
WARNING
EWA14431
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
making any setting changes to the
multi-function display. Changing
settings while riding can distract the
operator and increase the risk of anaccident.
The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:
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 fuel meter
a coolant temperature meter
a transmission gear display
an ambient temperature display
a fuel consumption display (instan-
taneous and average consumption
functions)
a self-diagnosis device
TIPBe sure to turn the key to “ON” beforeusing the select and reset buttons.

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
starts flashing, refuel as soon as possi-
ble. When the key is turned to “ON”, all
of the display segments of the fuel
meter will appear one after the other
and then disappear in order to test the
electrical circuit.
TIPThis fuel meter is equipped with a self-
diagnosis system. If a problem is de-
tected in the electrical circuit, all the dis-play segments will start flashing. If this
occurs, have a Yamaha dealer check
the electrical circuit.
Coolant temperature meter
With the key in the “ON” position, the
coolant temperature meter indicates
the temperature of the coolant. When
the key is turned to “ON”, all of the dis-
play segments of the coolant tempera-
ture meter will appear one after the
other and then disappear in order to
test the electrical circuit. The coolant
temperature varies with changes in the
weather and engine load. If the top seg-
ment flashes, stop the vehicle and let
the engine cool. (See page 6-34.)
NOTICE
ECA10021
Do not continue to operate the en-gine if it is overheating.
Transmission gear display
This display shows the selected gear.
The neutral position, however, is not
displayed, it is indicated by the neutral
indicator light.

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.
EAU40153
To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on the center-
stand.TIP
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 theside can result in a false reading.
2. Check the coolant level in the cool-
ant reservoir.
TIPThe coolant should be between theminimum and maximum level marks.3. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, remove the
reservoir cap.
4. Add coolant or distilled water to
raise the coolant to the maximum
level mark, install the coolant res-ervoir cap. WARNING! Remove
only the coolant reservoir cap.
Never attempt to remove the ra-
diator cap when the engine is
hot.
[EWA15161]
NOTICE: If coolant is
not available, use distilled water
or soft tap water instead. Do not
use hard water or salt water
since it is harmful to the engine.
If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with cool-
ant as soon as possible, other-
wise the cooling system will not
be protected against frost and
corrosion. If water has been
added to the coolant, have a
Yamaha dealer check the anti-
freeze content of the coolant as
soon as possible, otherwise the
effectiveness of the coolant will
be reduced. [ECA10472]
