ABS warning light “”
(for ABS models)
NOTICE

ECA10831
If the ABS warning light comes on or
flashes while riding, the ABS may
not work correctly. If this occurs,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.
See page 3-15 for an explanation of the
ABS.
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by setting the engine
stop switch to “” and turning the key
to “ON”. The warning light should come
on for a few seconds, and then go off.
If the warning light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ON”,
or if the warning light remains on, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.
WARNING

EWA11350
When the ABS warning light comes
on or flashes while riding, the brake
system reverts to conventional brak-
ing. Therefore, be careful not tocause the wheel to lock during emer-
gency braking.
TIP

The ABS warning light may come on
while accelerating the engine with the
scooter on its centerstand, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.
EAU38623
Immobilizer system indicator light
The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked by turning the key
to “ON”. The indicator light should
come on for a few seconds, and then
go off.
If the indicator light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ON”,
or if the indicator light remains on, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.
When the key is turned to “OFF” and 30
seconds have passed, the indicator
light will start flashing indicating the im-
mobilizer system is enabled. After 24
hours have passed, the indicator light
will stop flashing, however the immobi-
lizer system is still enabled.
This model is also equipped with aself-diagnosis device for the immobiliz-
er system. (See page 3-10 for an expla-
nation of the self-diagnosis device.)

9Oil change indicator “OIL”
This indicator flashes at the initial 1000 km
(600 mi), then at 5000 km (3000 mi)
and every 5000 km (3000 mi) thereafter
to indicate that the engine oil should be
changed.
After changing the engine oil, reset the
oil change indicator. To reset the oil
change indicator, select it by pushing
the “SELECT” button until “OIL Trip” is
displayed, and then push the “RESET”
button at least 1 second. When pushing
the “RESET” button, “OIL Trip” starts
flashing. While “OIL Trip” is flashing,
push the “RESET” button for at least 3
seconds.
If the engine oil is changed before theoil change indicator “OIL” flashes (i.e.
before the periodic oil change interval
has been reached), the indicator “OIL”
must be reset after the oil change for
the next periodic oil change to be indi-
cated at the correct time.
The electrical circuit of the indicator can
be checked according to the following
procedure.
1. Set the engine stop switch to “”
and turn the key to “ON”.
2. Check that the oil change indicator
comes on for a few seconds and
then goes off.
3. If the oil change indicator does not
come on, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.
V-belt replacement indicator
“V-BELT”
This indicator flashes every 20000 km
(12500 mi) when the V-belt needs to be
replaced.
After changing the V-belt, reset the
V-belt replacement indicator. To reset
the V-belt replacement indicator, select
it by pushing the “SELECT” button until
“V-BELT Trip” is displayed, and then
push the “RESET” button at least 1 sec-
ond. When pushing the “RESET” but-
ton, “V-BELT Trip” starts flashing.
While “V-BELT Trip” is flashing, push
the “RESET” button for at least 3 sec-
onds.

indicator “V-BELT” must be reset after
the V-belt change for the next periodic
V-belt change to be indicated at the
correct time.
The electrical circuit of the indicator can
be checked according to the following
procedure.
1. Turn the key to “ON” and make
sure that the engine stop switch is
set to “”.
2. Check that the V-belt replacement
indicator comes on for a few sec-
onds and then goes off.
3. If the V-belt replacement indicator
does not come on, have a Yamaha
dealer check the electrical circuit.
Self-diagnosis device
This model is equipped with a self-diag-
nosis device for various electrical cir-
cuits.
If a problem is detected in any of those
circuits, the engine trouble warning light
comes on and the display indicates an
error code.
The self-diagnosis device also detects
problems in the immobilizer system cir-
cuits.
If a problem is detected in any of the im-
mobilizer system circuits, the immobi-
lizer system indicator light flashes and
the display indicates an error code.
TIP

If the display indicates error code 52,this could be caused by transponder in-
terference. If this error code appears,
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.
If the display indicates any error codes,
note the code number, and then have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.

WARNING

EWAT1040

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.

Place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radiator cap, and then slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the de-
tent 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.
