3 The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by 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.
NOTICE
ECA10021
Do not continue to operate the en-
gine if it is overheating.TIP

For radiator-fan-equipped vehi-
cles, the radiator fan(s) automati-
cally switch on or off according to
the coolant temperature in the ra-
diator.


If the engine overheats, see page
6-41 for further instructions.

Engine trouble warning light“”
This warning light comes on or flashes
if a problem is detected in the electrical
circuit monitoring the engine. If this oc-
curs, have a Yamaha dealer check theself-diagnosis system. (See page 3-8
for an explanation of the self-diagnosis
device.)

TIP

The multi-function display can be
set to the basic mode or the mea-
surement mode.


Tripmeter A will automatically re-
set to zero when changing from
the basic mode to the measure-
ment mode or vice versa.
Basic mode:

a speedometer


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 since
the fuel level warning light came
on)


a clock


a self-diagnosis device
Measurement mode:


a speedometer


a distance-compensation tripme-
ter (which shows the accumulated
distance traveled since set to zero
and which can be calibrated to pro-
vide a more accurate tripmeter
reading)


a stopwatch (which shows the time
that has been accumulated since
the start of stopwatch measure-
ment)


a self-diagnosis device
TIP

Be sure to turn the key to “ON” be-
fore using the “SELECT 1”, “SE-
LECT 2” and “RESET” buttons.


When the key is turned to “ON”, all
of the display segments of the
multi-function display will appear
and then disappear, in order to test
the electrical circuit.


For the U.K. only: To switch the
speedometer and odometer/trip-
meter displays between kilometers
and miles, press the “SELECT 2”
button until the display changes af-
ter the key is turned to “ON”.

TIPIndicator“” comes on when tripmeter
A is selected, and indicator“” comes
on when tripmeter B is selected.
If the fuel level warning light comes on
(see page 3-2), the display will auto-
matically change to the fuel reserve
tripmeter mode “F” and start counting
the distance traveled from that point. In
this case, push the “SELECT 2” button
to switch the display between the vari-
ous tripmeter and odometer modes in
the following order:
fuel reserve tripmeter “F” → odometer
→ tripmeter A → tripmeter B → fuel re-
serve tripmeter “F”TIPThe fuel level warning light may not
function accurately while riding off road
as the fuel level reading changes due to
the movement and inclination of the ve-
hicle.If the fuel level warning light comes on
while riding in the measurement mode,
change to the basic mode and push the
“SELECT 2” button to display the fuel
reserve tripmeter.
TIPTo change from the measurement
mode to the basic mode, the stopwatch
and the distance-compensation tripme-
ter must be stopped.To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT 2” button, and then
push the “RESET” button for at least
one second. If you do not reset the fuel
reserve tripmeter manually, it will reset
itself automatically and the display will
return to the prior mode after refueling
and traveling 5 km (3 mi).
ClockThe clock displays when the key is
turned to “ON”.

holding either button will increase
or decrease the digits continuously
until the button is released.


If the “RESET” button is not
pushed within 30 seconds, the
clock will not be set and will return
to the prior time.
Changing from the basic mode to
the measurement mode
With the odometer selected, push the
“SELECT 1” button and “SELECT 2”
button together for at least two seconds
to change to the measurement mode.
Changing from the measurement
mode to the basic modeTIPThe stopwatch must be stopped before
changing to the basic mode.1. Check that the stopwatch is not in
operation. If the stopwatch is in op-
eration, stop it by pushing the “SE-
LECT 1” button and “SELECT 2”
button together.
2. Push the “SELECT 1” button and
“SELECT 2” button together for at
least two seconds to change to the

watch)
When the measurement mode is se-
lected, the stopwatch is displayed and it
can be started manually or automatical-
ly.
Manual start
The manual start is the default setting
for the stopwatch. The stopwatch

TIP

The annual checks must be performed every year, except if a kilometer-based maintenance, or for the UK, a
mileage-based maintenance, is performed instead.


From 50000 km (30000 mi), repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 10000 km (6000 mi).


Items marked with an asterisk should be performed by a Yamaha dealer as they require special tools, data and technical
skills.
