This warning light comes on or flashes
if a problem is detected in the electrical
circuit monitoring the engine. If this oc-
curs, have a Yamaha dealer check the
self-diagnosis system. (See page 3-10
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 the electrical
circuit.

a speedometer (which shows the
riding speed)


a tachometer (which shows engine
speed)


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 since
the left segment of the fuel meter
started flashing)


a clock


a fuel meter


a coolant temperature display


a self-diagnosis device

Odometer and tripmeter modes
Push the “SELECT” button to switch
the display between the odometer
mode “ODO” and the tripmeter modes
“TRIP A” and “TRIP B” in the following
order:
TRIP A → TRIP B → ODO → TRIP A
When the fuel amount in the fuel tank
decreases to 3.2 L (0.85 US gal,
0.70 Imp.gal), the left segment of the
fuel meter will start flashing, and the
odometer display will automatically
change to the fuel reserve tripmetermode “F-TRIP” and start counting the
distance traveled from that point. In that
case, push the “SELECT” button to
switch the display between the various
tripmeter and odometer modes in the
following order:
F-TRIP → TRIP A → TRIP B → ODO
→ F-TRIP
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button, and then
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 after refueling
and traveling 5 km (3 mi).
Fuel meterThe 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 on
the left starts flashing, refuel as soon as
possible.
TIPThis fuel meter is equipped with a self-
diagnosis system. If a problem is de-
tected in the electrical circuit, the follow-
ing cycle is repeated until the
malfunction is corrected: fuel level seg-
ments and symbol“” flash eight
times, then go off for approximately 3
seconds. If this occurs, have a Yamahadealer check the electrical circuit.
