Neutral indicator light “”
This indicator light comes on when the
transmission is in the neutral position.
EAU11080
High beam indicator light “”
This indicator light comes on when the
high beam of the headlight is switched
on.
EAU11254
Oil level warning light “”
This warning light comes on if the en-
gine oil level is low.
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.
TIP

Even if the oil level is sufficient, the
warning light may flicker when
riding on a slope or during sudden
acceleration or deceleration, but
this is not a malfunction.


This model is also equipped with a
self-diagnosis device for the oil
level detection circuit. If a problem
is detected in the oil level detection
circuit, the following cycle will be
repeated until the malfunction is
corrected: The oil level warning
light will flash ten times, then go off
for 2.5 seconds. If this occurs,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle.
EAU49421
Coolant temperature warning
light “”
This warning light comes on if the en-
gine overheats. If this occurs, stop the
engine immediately and allow the en-
gine to cool.
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
6-37 for further instructions.

this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer
check the system as soon as possible.
(See page 3-20.)
WARNING
EWA10081
If the ABS warning light comes on or
flashes while riding, the brake sys-
tem reverts to conventional braking.
Therefore, be careful not to cause
the wheels to lock during emergen-
cy braking. If the warning light
comes on or flashes while riding,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
brake system as soon as possible.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.

gages. The electrical circuit of the light can be
checked by turning the key to
“ON ”.
The light should come on for a few sec-
onds, and then go off.
If the light does not come on initially
when the key is turned to “ON ”, or if the
light remains on, have a Yamaha deal-
er check the electrical circuit.
When the switch is set to “TCS ” modes
“ 1 ” or “ 2”, and the traction control sys-
tem is operating, the indicator light
flashes.
If the traction control system disables
while riding, “TCS ” “Off ” is displayed,
and the indicator/warning light and en-
gine trouble warning light come on.

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.
The self-diagnosis device also detects
problems in the immobilizer system cir-
cuits. (See page 3-14 for an explana-
tion of the self-diagnosis device.)

settings while riding can distract the
operator and increase the risk of an
accident.
The multi-function meter unit is
equipped with the following:

a speedometer


a tachometer


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 last segment of the fuel meter
started flashing)


a clock


a fuel meter


an air intake temperature display


a coolant temperature display


a fuel consumption display (instan-
taneous and average consumption
functions)


a drive mode display (which shows
the selected drive mode)


a traction control system mode dis-
play (which shows the selected
traction control system mode)


a self-diagnosis device


an LCD and tachometer bright-
ness control mode
The left and right set buttons, located
under the display, allow you to control
or change the settings in the multi-func-
tion meter unit.
TIP

To use the left and right buttons,
the key must be turned to “ON ”,
except for the brightness mode.


For the U.K. only: To switch the
speedometer and odometer/trip-
meter/fuel consumption displays
between kilometers and miles,
press the left button for at least two
seconds.
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 sweeps once across
the r/min range and then returns to zero
r/min in order to test the electrical cir-
cuit.NOTICE

Do not operate the engine in the ta-
chometer red zone.

3Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the left button switches the dis-
play between the odometer mode
“
ODO ” and the tripmeter modes “ TRIP
1 ” and “ TRIP 2 ” in the following order:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → ODO
TIPWhen selecting “ TRIP 1” or “ TRIP 2 ”,
the display flashes for five seconds.When approximately 3.9 L (1.03 US
gal, 0.86 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the display automatically
changes to the fuel reserve tripmeter
mode “TRIP F ” and starts counting the
distance traveled from that point. In that
case, pushing the left button switches the display between the various tripme-
ter and odometer modes in the follow-
ing order:
TRIP F
→ ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 →
TRIP F
TIPWhen selecting “TRIP 1 ”, “TRIP 2 ” or
“ TRIP F ”, the display flashes for five
seconds.To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the left button, and then push this
button for at least one second while the
display is flashing. If you do not reset
the fuel reserve tripmeter manually, it
resets itself automatically and the dis-
play returns to the prior mode after re-
fueling and traveling 5 km (3 mi). Clock
The clock displays when the key is
turned to “
ON”. In addition, the clock
can be displayed for 10 seconds by
pushing the left button when the main
switch is in the “ OFF” or “ LOCK ” posi-
tion.
To set the clock:
1. Push the left button and right but- ton together for at least three sec-
onds.
