will stop flashing, however the immobi-
lizer system is still enabled.
TIP

This model is also equipped with a
self-diagnosis device for the immobiliz-
er system. If the immobilizer system is
not working correctly, the indicator light
will start flashing a pattern and the
odometer/tripmeter will display a 2-digit
code 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 five times, and then quickly
flashes two times repeatedly, error
code 52 will be displayed. 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 interfer-
ence, which may prevent 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-registering
key and both standard keys to a
Yamaha dealer and have the stan-
dard keys re-registered.

Tachometer unit
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

This tachometer unit is equipped with a
clock.
To set the clock:
1. Push both the “SELECT” and
“RESET” buttons 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 to
change the minutes.
4. When the minute digits start flash-
ing, push the “RESET” button to
set the minutes.
5. Push the “SELECT” button to start
the clock.
TIP


After setting the clock, be sure to
push the “SELECT” button before
turning the key to “OFF”, otherwise
the clock will not be set.

When the key is turned to “OFF”,
the clock display will remain on for
48 hours and then go off to prevent
the battery from discharging.
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 6-36.)
NOTICE

ECA10021
Do not continue to operate the en-
gine if it is overheating.

Catalytic converters
This vehicle is equipped with catalytic
converters in the exhaust system.
WARNING

EWA10862
The exhaust system is hot after op-
eration. To prevent a fire hazard or
burns:

Do not park the vehicle near
possible fire hazards such as
grass or other materials that
easily burn.

Park the vehicle in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch the hot
exhaust system.

Make sure that the exhaust sys-
tem has cooled down before do-
ing any maintenance work.

Do not allow the engine to idle
more than a few minutes. Long
idling can cause a build-up of
heat.
NOTICE

ECA10701
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause unre-pairable damage to the catalytic
converter.

9To charge the battery
Have a Yamaha dealer charge the bat-
tery as soon as possible if it seems to
have discharged. Keep in mind that the
battery tends to discharge more quickly
if the vehicle is equipped with optional
electrical accessories.
NOTICE

ECA16520
To charge a VRLA (Valve Regulated
Lead Acid) battery, a special (con-
stant-voltage) battery charger is re-
quired. Using a conventional battery
charger will damage the battery. If
you do not have access to a con-
stant-voltage battery charger, have a
Yamaha dealer charge your battery.
To store the battery
1. If the vehicle will not be used for
more than one month, remove the
battery, fully charge it, and then
place it in a cool, dry place.
NOTICE:
When removing the
battery, be sure the key is turned
to “OFF”, then disconnect the
negative lead before discon-
necting the positive lead.

[ECA16302]
2. If the battery will be stored for more
than two months, check it at least
once a month and fully charge it if
necessary.
3. Fully charge the battery before in-
stallation.
4. After installation, make sure that
the battery leads are properly con-
nected to the battery terminals.
NOTICE

ECA16530
Always keep the battery charged.
Storing a discharged battery can
cause permanent battery damage.

9 Engine overheating
WARNING

EWA10400

Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may be
blown out under pressure, which could cause serious injury. Be sure to wait until the engine has cooled.

After removing the radiator cap retaining bolt, place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radiator cap, and then
slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the detent to allow any residual pressure to escape. When the hissing
sound has stopped, press down on the cap while turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.
TIP

If coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided that it is changed to the recommended coolant
as soon as possible.
Wait until the
engine has cooled.
Check the coolant level in the
reservoir and radiator.
The coolant level
is OK.The coolant level is low.
Check the cooling system
for leakage.
Have a Yamaha dealer checkand repair the cooling system.Add coolant. (See TIP.)
Start the engine. If the engine overheats again,
have a
Yamaha dealer check
and repair the cooling system.
There is
leakage.
There is
no leakage.
