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 an
accident.The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:
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 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” before
using 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 dis-
play segments come on once 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 displaysegments will start flashing. If this oc-
curs, have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.
Coolant temperature meter
The coolant temperature meter indi-
cates the temperature of the coolant.
The coolant temperature varies with
changes in the weather and engine
load. If the top segment flashes, stop
the vehicle, then stop the engine, and
let the engine cool. (See page 6-34.)
When the key is turned to “ON”, all dis-
play segments come on once in order
to test the electrical circuit.

6To change the final gear oil
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face.
2. Place an oil pan under the final
gear case to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the final gear oil filler bolt,
the final gear oil drain bolt and their
gasket to drain the oil from the final
gear case.
4. Install the final gear oil drain bolt
and its new gasket, and then tight-
en the bolt to the specified torque.5. Refill with the recommended final
gear oil to the brim of the filler hole.
6. Check the oil filler bolt gasket for
damage, and replace it if neces-
sary.
7. Install the oil filler bolt and its gas-
ket, and then tighten the bolt to the
specified torque.
8. Check the final gear 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.
EAU40154
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 the
side can result in a false reading.
2. Check the coolant level in the cool-
ant reservoir.TIPThe coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
