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 will sweep once
across the r/min range and then return
to zero r/min in order to test the electri-
cal circuit.NOTICE
ECA10031
Do not operate the engine in the ta-
chometer red zone.
Red zone: 9000 r/min and above

Multi-function display
WARNING
EWA14431
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
making any setting changes to the
multi-function display. Changing
settings while riding can distract the
operator and increase the risk of an
accident.The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:

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 on the
fuel reserve)


a clock


a fuel meter


a coolant temperature meter


a transmission gear display


an ambient temperature display


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


a self-diagnosis device
TIPBe sure to turn the key to “ON” before
using the select and reset buttons.

3 Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel meter disappear to-
wards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When the last segment
starts flashing, refuel as soon as possi-
ble.
When the key is turned to “ON”, all dis-
play segments come on once in order
to test the electrical circuit.
TIPThis fuel meter is equipped with a self-
diagnosis system. If a problem is de-
tected in the electrical circuit, all displaysegments will start flashing. If this oc-
curs, have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.
Coolant temperature meter
The coolant temperature meter indi-
cates the temperature of the coolant.
The coolant temperature varies with
changes in the weather and engine
load. If the top segment flashes, stop
the vehicle, then stop the engine, and
let the engine cool. (See page 6-37.)
When the key is turned to “ON”, all dis-
play segments come on once in order
to test the electrical circuit.

this manual, have the vehicle inspected by a Yamaha dealer.Before using this vehicle, check the following points:
ITEM CHECKS PAGE
FuelCheck fuel level in fuel tank.
Refuel if necessary.
Check fuel line for leakage.
Check fuel tank breather/overflow hose for obstructions, cracks or damage, and
check hose connection.3-18, 3-19
Engine oilCheck oil level in engine.
If necessary, add recommended oil to specified level.
Check vehicle for oil leakage.6-12
Final gear oilCheck vehicle for oil leakage. 6-15
CoolantCheck coolant level in reservoir.
If necessary, add recommended coolant to specified level.
Check cooling system for leakage.6-16
Front brakeCheck operation.
If soft or spongy, have Yamaha dealer bleed hydraulic system.
Check brake pads for wear.
Replace if necessary.
Check fluid level in reservoir.
If necessary, add recommended brake fluid to specified level.
Check hydraulic system for leakage.6-24, 6-24

gear oil to the brim of the filler hole.
6. Check the oil filler bolt gasket for
damage, and replace it if neces-
sary.
7. Install the oil filler bolt and its gas-
ket, and then tighten the bolt to the
specified torque.
8. Check the final gear case for oil
leakage. If oil is leaking, check for
the cause.
EAU20070
Coolant The coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the cool-
ant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAU40154
To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on the center-
stand.TIP

The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level
varies with engine temperature.


Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking
the coolant level. A slight tilt to the
side can result in a false reading.
2. Check the coolant level in the cool-
ant reservoir.TIPThe coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
3. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, remove the
coolant reservoir cap.
4. Add coolant or distilled water to
raise the coolant to the maximum
level mark, install the coolant res-

6ervoir cap. WARNING! Remove
only the coolant reservoir cap.
Never attempt to remove the ra-
diator cap when the engine is
hot.
[EWA15161]
NOTICE: If coolant is
not available, use distilled water
or soft tap water instead. Do not
use hard water or salt water
since it is harmful to the engine.
If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with cool-
ant as soon as possible, other-
wise the cooling system will not
be protected against frost and
corrosion. If water has been
added to the coolant, have a
Yamaha dealer check the anti-
freeze content of the coolant as
soon as possible, otherwise the
effectiveness of the coolant will
be reduced. [ECA10472]EAU33031
Changing the coolant
The coolant must be changed at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart. Have a
Yamaha dealer change the coolant.
WARNING! Never attempt to remove
the radiator cap when the engine is
hot.
[EWA10381]EAU20473
Cleaning the air filter element The air filter element should be cleaned
or replaced at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart. Clean or, if necessary, re-
place the air filter element more
frequently if you are riding in unusually
wet or dusty areas.
1. Remove panel B. (See page 6-8.)
2. Remove the intake air shroud by
removing the screw and the quick
fastener screws.
3. Remove the air filter case cover by
removing the screws.

6 Engine overheating
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.
TIPIf 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.
