3The 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 will be repeated until the
malfunction is corrected: “E” (Empty),
“F” (Full) and symbol“” will flash
eight times, then go off for approxi-
mately 3 seconds. If this occurs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical cir-
cuit.
Coolant temperature mode
The coolant temperature display indi-
cates the temperature of the coolant.TIPWhen the coolant temperature display
is selected, “C” is displayed for one
second, and then the coolant tempera-
ture is displayed.NOTICE
ECA10021
Do not continue to operate the en-
gine if it is overheating.
Air intake temperature mode
The air intake temperature display indi-
cates the temperature of the air drawn
into the air filter case. Turn the key to
“ON”, and push the “RESET” button to
switch the coolant temperature display
to the air intake temperature display.
Push the “RESET” button again to re-
turn to the coolant temperature display.TIP
Even if the air intake temperature
is set to be displayed, the coolant
temperature warning light comes
on if the engine overheats.

TIP
Air filter
This model’s air filter is equipped with a disposable oil-coated paper element, which must not be cleaned with com-
pressed air to avoid damaging it.
The air filter element needs to be replaced more frequently when riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
Hydraulic brake service
Regularly check and, if necessary, correct the brake fluid level.
Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers, and change the brake
fluid.
Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

6 If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with cool-
ant as soon as possible, other-
wise the cooling system will not
be protected against frost and
corrosion. If water has been
added to the coolant, have a
Yamaha dealer check the anti-
freeze content of the coolant as
soon as possible, otherwise the
effectiveness of the coolant will
be reduced.
[ECA10472]
5. Install the panel.
EAU33031
Changing the coolant
The coolant must be changed at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart. Have a
Yamaha dealer change the coolant.
WARNING! Never attempt to remove
the radiator cap when the engine is
hot.
[EWA10381]EAU40053
Replacing the air filter element The air filter element should be re-
placed at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart. Replace the air filter element
more frequently if you are riding in un-
usually wet or dusty areas.
1. Remove the rider seat. (See page
3-19.)
2. Remove panels A and B. (See
page 6-7.)
3. Remove the cowling bolts, and
then pull the cowling off.
4. Remove the fuel tank bolts.

65. Lift the front of the fuel tank, and
carefully tilt it back and away from
the air filter case, but do not dis-
connect the fuel hoses.
WARNING! Make sure that the
fuel tank is well supported. Do
not tilt or pull the fuel tank too
much, otherwise the fuel hoses
may come loose, which could
cause fuel leakage and a fire
hazard.
[EWA10411]
6. Remove the air filter case cover by
removing the screws. NOTICE:
When removing the air filter
case cover, be careful not to al-
low foreign objects to drop into
the air intake manifold.
[ECA12881]
7. Pull the air filter element out.8. Insert a new air filter element into
the air filter case. NOTICE: Make
sure that the air filter element is
properly seated in the air filter
case. The engine should never
be operated without the air filter
element installed, otherwise the
piston(s) and/or cylinder(s) may
become excessively worn.
[ECA10481]
9. Install the air filter case cover by in-
stalling the screws.
10. Place the fuel tank in the original
position. Make sure that the fuel
hoses are properly connected and
routed, and not pinched. Be sure
to place the fuel tank breather
