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.
NOTICE

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

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 an
accident.

The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:


a fuel meter

a coolant temperature meter

an odometer

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
TIP


Be sure to turn the key to “ON” be-
fore using the “SELECT” and
“RESET” 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 indicator
will start flashing, and the display willautomatically change to the fuel reserve
tripmeter mode “Trip F” and start count-
ing the distance traveled from that point.
In that case, pushing the “SELECT” but-
ton switches the display 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 seconds).
While “Trip” or “Trip F” is flashing, push
the “RESET” button 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).
TIP

The display cannot be changed back to
“Trip F” after pushing the “RESET” but-
ton.
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 the
vehicle and let the engine cool. (Seepage 6-37.)
NOTICE

ECA10021
Do not continue to operate the en-
gine if it is overheating.
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 6-12.)
If the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator comes on (i.e. be-
fore the periodic oil change interval has
been reached), the indicator must bereset after the oil change for the next
periodic oil change to be indicated at
the correct time. (See page 6-12.)
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.
TIP

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
procedure.

5. Install the final transmission oil
drain bolt, and then tighten it to the
specified torque.
6. Refill with the specified amount of
the recommended final transmis-
sion oil, and then install and tighten
the oil filler cap.
WARNING! Make
sure that no foreign material en-
ters the final transmission case.
Make sure that no oil gets on the
tire or wheel.

[EWA11311]
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.
EAU34193
To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
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 the
side can result in a false reading.
2. Pull up the right floorboard mat as
shown.

WARNING

EWAT1040

Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may be
blown out under pressure, which could cause serious injury. Be sure to wait until the engine has cooled.

Place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radiator cap, and then slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the de-
tent to allow any residual pressure to escape. When the hissing sound has stopped, press down on the cap
while turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.
TIP

If coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided that it is changed to the recommended coolant
as soon as possible.
Wait until the
engine has cooled.
Check the coolant level in the
reservoir and radiator.
The coolant level
is OK.The coolant level is low.
Check the cooling system
for leakage.
Have a Yamaha dealer checkand repair the cooling system.Add coolant. (See TIP.)
Start the engine. If the engine overheats again,
have a
Yamaha dealer check
and repair the cooling system.
