Immobilizer system
1. Code re-registering key (red bow)
2. Standard keys (black bow)
This vehicle is equipped with an im-
mobilizer system to help prevent theft
by re-registering codes in the standard
keys. This system consists of the fol-
lowing.
●a code re-registering key (with a
red bow)
●two standard keys (with a black
bow) that can be re-registered
with new codes
●a transponder (which is installed
in the code re-registering key)
●an immobilizer unit
●an ECU
●an immobilizer system indicator
light (See page 4-3.)
The key with the red bow is used to reg-
ister codes in each standard key. Since
re-registering is a difficult process, take
the vehicle along with all three keys to a
Yamaha dealer to have them re-regis-
tered. Do not use the key with the red
bow for driving. It should only be used
for re-registering the standard keys. Al-
ways use a standard key for driving.
ECA11821NOTICE
●DO NOT LOSE THE CODE RE-
REGISTERING KEY! CONTACT
YOUR DEALER IMMEDIATELY
IF IT IS LOST! If the code re-reg-
istering key is lost, registering
new codes in the standard keys
is impossible. The standard keys
can still be used to start the ve-
hicle, however if code re-regis-
tering is required (i.e., if a new
standard key is made or all keys
are lost) the entire immobilizer
system must be replaced.
Therefore, it is highly recom-
mended to use either standardkey and keep the code re-regis-
tering key in a safe place.
●Do not submerse any key in water.
●Do not expose any key to exces-
sively high temperatures.
●Do not place any key close to
magnets (this includes, but not
limited to, products such as
speakers, etc.).
●Do not place items that transmit
electrical signals close to any key.
●Do not place heavy items on
any key.
●Do not grind any key or alter its
shape.
●Do not disassemble the plastic
part of any key.
●Do not put two keys of any immobi-
lizer system on the same key ring.
●Keep the standard keys as well
as keys of other immobilizer
systems away from this vehi-
cle's code re-registering key.
●Keep other immobilizer system
keys away from the main switch
as they may cause signal inter-
ference.

TIP
Be sure to use the standard key (black
bow) for regular use of the vehicle. To
minimize the risk of losing the code re-
registering key (red bow), keep it in a
safe place and only use it for code re-
registering.

NOTICE
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
7-41 for further instructions.
EAU11534
Engine trouble warning light “U”
This warning light comes on or flashes
if a problem is detected in the electri-
cal circuit monitoring the engine. If this
occurs, have a Yamaha dealer check
the self-diagnosis system. (See page
4-8 for an explanation of the self-diag-
nosis device.) The electrical circuit of
the warning light can be checked byturning 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 re-
mains on, have a Yamaha dealer check
the electrical circuit.

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
immobilizer system is enabled. After
24 hours have passed, the indicator
light will stop flashing, however the im-
mobilizer system is still enabled.
This model is also equipped with a
self-diagnosis device for the immobi-
lizer system. (See page 4-8 for an ex-
planation of the self-diagnosis device.)

Tachometer
1. Tachometer
2. Red zone
The 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
tachometer needle will sweep once
across the r/min range and then return
to zero r/min in order to test the elec-
trical circuit.
ECA10030
NOTICE
Do not operate the engine in the
tachometer red zone.
Red zone: 7,500 r/min and above.
Tripmeter and tachometer modes
1. “SELECT” button
2. “RESET” button
Pushing the "SELECT" button switch-
es the display between the tripmeter
modes "TRIP 1" and "TRIP 2" in the
following order:
TRIP 1
6TRIP 2 6TRIP 1
When the fuel amount in the fuel tank
decreases to 6.7 L (1.77 US gal) (1.47
Imp.gal), the bottom segment of the
fuel meter will start flashing, and the
tripmeter display will automatically
change to the fuel reserve tripmeter
mode “F-TRIP” and start counting the
distance traveled from that point. In
that case, pushing the "SELECT" but-
ton switches the display between the
various tripmeter modes in the follow-
ing order:
F-TRIP
6TRIP 1 6TRIP 2 6F-TRIP
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the "SELECT" button, and then
push the "RESET" button for at least
four seconds. If you do not reset the
fuel reserve tripmeter manually, it will
reset itself automatically and the dis-
play will return to the prior mode after
refueling and traveling 5 km (3 mi).

With the key in the "ON" position, the
fuel meter indicates the amount of fuel
in the fuel tank. When the key is turned
to "ON", all of the display segments of
the fuel meter will appear one after the
other and then disappear in order to
test the electrical circuit. The display
segments of the fuel meter disappear
towards "E" (Empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When only one segment is
left near "E" (Empty), refuel as soon
as possible.
TIP
This fuel meter is equipped with a self-
diagnosis system. If the electrical cir-
cuit is defective, all the segments will
start flashing. If this occurs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical cir-
cuit.
