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.

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

Multi-function meter unit
WARNING
EWA12422
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
making any setting changes to the
multi-function meter unit. Changing
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 left segment of the fuel meter
started flashing)


a clock


a fuel meter


a coolant temperature display


an air intake temperature display


a self-diagnosis device


an LCD and tachometer bright-
ness control mode
TIP

Be sure to turn the key to “ON” be-
fore using the “SELECT” and “RE-
SET” buttons.


For the U.K. only: To switch the
speedometer and odometer/trip-
meter displays between kilometers
and miles, press the “SELECT”
button for at least one second.
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.

3 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 on
the left starts flashing, refuel as soon as
possible.
TIPThis fuel meter is equipped with a self-
diagnosis system. If a problem is de-
tected in the electrical circuit, the follow-
ing cycle will be repeated until the
malfunction is corrected: “E” (Empty),
“F” (Full) and symbol“” will flash
eight times, then go off for approxi-
mately 3 seconds. If this occurs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical cir-
cuit.
Coolant temperature mode
The coolant temperature display indi-
cates the temperature of the coolant.TIPWhen the coolant temperature display
is selected, “C” is displayed for one
second, and then the coolant tempera-
ture is displayed.NOTICE
ECA10021
Do not continue to operate the en-
gine if it is overheating.
Air intake temperature mode
The air intake temperature display indi-
cates the temperature of the air drawn
into the air filter case. Turn the key to
“ON”, and push the “RESET” button to
switch the coolant temperature display
to the air intake temperature display.
Push the “RESET” button again to re-
turn to the coolant temperature display.TIP

Even if the air intake temperature
is set to be displayed, the coolant
temperature warning light comes
on if the engine overheats.

When the key is turned to “ON”,
the coolant temperature is auto-
matically displayed, even if the air
intake temperature was displayed
prior to turning the key to “OFF”.


When the air intake temperature
display is selected, “A” is displayed
for one second, and then the air in-
take temperature is displayed.
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
will come on and the display will indi-
cate an error code.If the display indicates any error codes,
note the code number, and then have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
The self-diagnosis device also detects
problems in the immobilizer system cir-
cuits.
If a problem is detected in the immobi-
lizer system circuits, the immobilizer
system indicator light will flash and the
display will indicate an error code.
TIPIf 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.TIPMake 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.NOTICE
ECA11590
If the display indicates an error
code, the vehicle should be checked
as soon as possible in order to avoid
engine damage.
