Fuel level warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on when the
fuel level drops below approximately
2 L (0.53 US gal) (0.44 Imp.gal). When
this occurs, refuel as soon as possi-
ble.
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.
EAUT1932
Engine trouble warning light “ ”
This warning light flashes or stays on
if an electrical circuit monitoring the
engine is not working correctly. If this
occurs, have a Yamaha dealer check
the self-diagnosis 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.
EAU27021
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
circuit.
When the key is turned to “OFF” and
30 seconds have passed, the indica-
tor light will start flashing indicating
the immobilizer system is enabled.
After 24 hours have passed, the indi-
cator light will stop flashing, however
the immobilizer system is still ena-
bled.
TIP
This model is also equipped with a
self-diagnosis device for the immobi-
lizer system. If the immobilizer system
is not working correctly, the indicator
light will start flashing a pattern when
the key is turned to “ON”. When this
occurs, have a Yamaha dealer check
the self-diagnosis system. However, if
the indicator light slowly flashes fivetimes, and then quickly flashes two
times repeatedly, this error could be
caused by signal interference. If this
occurs, try the following.
1. Use the code re-registering key
to start the engine.
TIP
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 interference, which may pre-
vent the engine from 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-registe-
ring key and both standard keys
to a Yamaha dealer and have the
standard keys re-registered.

Fuel gauge
1. Fuel gauge
2. Fuel level warning light
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 remaining fuel in
the tank reaches approximately 2 L (0.53
US gal) (0.44 Imp.gal), the fuel level war-
ning light will come on and the multi-
function display will automatically chan-
ge to the “Trip/fuel” mode. (See page
3-6). If this occurs, refuel as soon as
possible.
TIP
Do not allow the fuel tank to empty
itself completely.
EAU12172
Coolant temperature gauge
1. Coolant temperature gauge red zone
2. Coolant temperature gauge
With the key in the “ON” position, the
coolant temperature gauge indicates
the temperature of the coolant. The
coolant temperature varies with chan-
ges 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 6-34).

WARNING
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 equip-
ped with the following:
●an odometer (which shows the
total distance traveled)
●two tripmeters (which show the
distance traveled since they werelast set to zero, the time passed
since the tripmeters were set to
zero, and the average speed tra-
veled during this time)
●a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled sin-
ce the fuel level warning light
came on)
●a clock
●an ambient temperature display
●an oil change indicator (which
comes on when the engine oil
should be changed)
TIP
●For the UK, the distance traveled
is displayed in miles and the tem-
perature reading is displayed in
°F.
●For other countries, the distance
traveled is displayed in kilome-
ters and the temperature reading
is displayed in °C.
Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the “MODE” button switches
the display between the odometer
mode “Total” and the tripmeter
modes “Trip” in the following order:Total Trip 1 Trip 2 Trip/fuel 
Total
1. Total
2. Trip 1
3. Trip 2
4. Trip/Fuel
TIP
The Trip/fuel odometer is only activa-
ted if the fuel level warning light
comes on.
Pushing the “SET” button when in the
tripmeter mode switches the display
between the different tripmeter func-
tions in the following order:
Trip 1 or Trip 2 Time 1 or 2 Ave-
rage speed 1 or 2 Trip 1 or Trip 2
