used to lock the steering.
TIP

Be sure to use the standard key (black
bow) for regular use of the vehicle. To
minimize the risk of losing the code
re-registering key (red bow), keep it in a
safe place and only use it for code
re-registering.

Do not use the parking position for
an extended length of time, other-
wise the battery may discharge.

This indicator light comes on when thehigh beam of the headlight is switched
on.
EAU43021
Engine trouble warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on if an elec-
trical circuit monitoring the engine is not
working correctly. If this occurs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the self-diagno-
sis system.
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 the electrical
circuit.
TIP

This warning light will come on when
the key is turned to “ON” and the start
switch is pushed, but this does not indi-
cate a malfunction.

not work correctly. If this occurs,
have a Yamaha dealer check the

electrical circuit.
See page 3-14 for an explanation of the
ABS.
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by setting the engine
stop switch to “ ” and turning the key
to “ON”. The warning light should come
on for a few seconds, and then go off. If
the warning light does not come on or
remains on, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.
WARNING

EWA11350
When the ABS warning light comes
on or flashes while riding, the brake
system reverts to conventional brak-
ing. Therefore, be careful not to
cause the wheel to lock during emer-
gency braking.
TIP

The ABS warning light may come on
while accelerating the engine with the
scooter on its centerstand, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.
EAU38621
Immobilizer system indicator light
The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked by turning the key
to “ON”.
If the indicator light does not come on
for a few seconds, then go off, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical cir-
cuit.
When the key is turned to “OFF” and 30
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.
This model is also equipped with a
self-diagnosis device for the immobiliz-
er system. (See page 3-9 for an expla-
nation of the self-diagnosis device.)
EAU11601
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.

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

Do not allow the fuel tank to empty itself
completely.
EAU12182
Coolant temperature gauge
With the key in the “ON” position, the
coolant temperature gauge indicates
the temperature of the coolant. When
the key is turned to “ON”, the coolant
temperature gauge needle will sweep
once across the temperature range and
then return to “C” in order to test the
electrical circuit. The coolant tempera-
ture varies with changes in the weather
and engine load. If the needle reaches
or enters the red zone, stop the vehicle
and let the engine cool. (See
page 6-35.)

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:

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
circuits.
Tachometer
The tachometer allows the rider to
monitor the engine speed and keep it
within the ideal power range.
NOTICE

ECA10031
Do not operate the engine in the ta-
chometer red zone.
Red zone: 8250 r/min and above
Clock
To set the clock:
1. Push the “SELECT” button and
“RESET” button together for at
least two seconds.
2. When the hour digits start flashing,
push the “RESET” button to set the
hours.
3. Push the “SELECT” button, and
the minute digits will start flashing.
4. Push the “RESET” button to set
the minutes.
5. Push the “SELECT” button and
then release it to start the clock.

When approximately 3.0 L (0.79 US
gal, 0.66 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the 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” button
switches the display between the vari-
ous tripmeter and odometer modes in
the following order:
Odo
→
F Trip

To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button until “F Trip”,
“Trip-A” or “Trip-B” is displayed. While
“F Trip”, “Trip-A” or “Trip-B” is dis-
played, 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).
TIP

The display cannot be changed back to
“F Trip” after pushing the “RESET” but-
ton.
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. To reset the oil
change indicator, select it by pushing
the “SELECT” button until “OIL Trip” is
displayed, and then push the “RESET”
button at least 1 second. When pushing
the “RESET” button, “OIL Trip” starts
flashing. While “OIL Trip” is flashing,
push the “RESET” button for at least 3
seconds.

has been reached), the indicator “OIL”
must be reset after the oil change for
the next periodic oil change to be indi-
cated at the correct time.
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 oil change indicator
comes on for a few seconds and
then goes off.
3. If the oil change indicator does not
come on, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.
V-belt replacement indicator
“V-BELT”
This indicator flashes every 20000 km
(12500 mi) when the V-belt needs to be
replaced.
After changing the V-belt, reset the
V-belt replacement indicator. To reset
the V-belt replacement indicator, select
it by pushing the “SELECT” button until
“V-BELT Trip” is displayed, and then
push the “RESET” button at least 1 sec-
ond. When pushing the “RESET” but-
ton, “V-BELT Trip” starts flashing.
While “V-BELT Trip” is flashing, push
the “RESET” button for at least 3 sec-
onds.
If the V-belt is changed before theV-belt replacement indicator “V-BELT”
flashes (i.e. before the periodic V-belt
change interval has been reached), the
indicator “V-BELT” must be reset after
the V-belt change for the next periodic
V-belt change to be indicated at the
correct time.
The electrical circuit of the indicator can
be checked according to the following
procedure.
1. Turn the key to “ON” and make
sure that the engine stop switch is
set to “ ”.
2. Check that the V-belt replacement
indicator comes on for a few sec-
onds and then goes off.
3. If the V-belt replacement indicator
does not come on, have a Yamaha
dealer check the electrical circuit.
