2011 YAMAHA XMAX 125 engine

EWA11350
When the ABS warning light comes
on or flashes while riding, the brake
system reverts to conventional bra-
king. Therefore, be careful not to
cause the wheel to lock during
emergency braking.
TIP
The ABS warning light may come on
while accelerating the engine with the
scooter on its centerstand, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.
EAU38624
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 tur-
ned to “OFF” and 30 seconds havepassed, 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 immobili-
zer system is still enabled.
The self-diagnosis device also
detects problems in the immobilizer
system circuits. (See page 3-6 for an
explanation of the self-diagnosis
device.)

1. Fuel reserve tripmeter
To reset a tripmeter, select it by pus-
hing the “SELECT” button until “Trip”
or “Trip F” begins flashing (“Trip” or
“Trip F” will only flash for five
seconds). While “Trip” or “Trip F” is
flashing, push the “RESET” button for
at least one second. If you do not
reset the fuel reserve tripmetermanually, it will reset itself automati-
cally and the display will return to the
prior mode after refueling and trave-
ling 5 km (3 mi).
TIP
The display cannot be changed back
to “Trip F” after pushing the “RESET”
button.
Fuel meter
With the key in the “ON” position, the
fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel meter disappear
towards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When the fuel level rea-
ches the bottom segment near “E”,
the fuel level warning indicator and
the bottom segment will flash. Refuel
as soon as possible.
Coolant temperature meter
With the key in the “ON” position, the
coolant temperature meter indicates
the temperature of the coolant. The
coolant temperature varies with chan-
ges in the weather and engine load. Ifthe top segment and coolant tempe-
rature warning indicator flash, stop
the vehicle and let the engine cool.
(See page 6-32).

Do not continue to operate the
engine if it is overheating.
Oil change indicator “OIL”
This indicator flashes at the initial
1000 km (600 mi), then at 4000 km
(2500 mi) and every 3000 km (1800
mi) thereafter to indicate that the
engine oil should be changed.
After changing the engine oil, reset
the oil change indicator. (See page

If the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator comes on (i.e.
before the periodic oil change interval
has been reached), the indicator must
be reset after the oil change for the
next periodic oil change to be indica-
ted at the correct time. (See page

The electrical circuit of the indicator
can be checked according to the
following procedure.1. Turn the key to “ON”.
2. Check that the indicator comes on for a few seconds and then
goes off.
3. If the indicator does not come on, have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.

Self-diagnosis device
This model is equipped with a self-
diagnosis device for various electrical
circuits.
If a problem is detected in any of tho-
se circuits, the multi-function display
will indicate an error code.
If the multi-function display indicates
such an error code, note the code
number, and then have a Yamaha
dealer check the vehicle.
ECA11790
If the multi-function display indica-
tes an error code, the vehicle
should be checked as soon as pos-
sible in order to avoid engine
damage.
The self-diagnosis device also
detects problems in the immobilizer
system circuits. If a problem is detected in the immobili-
zer system circuits, the immobilizer sys-
tem indicator light will flash and the mul-
ti-function display will indicate an error
code when the key is turned to “ON”.
TIP
If the multi-function display indicates
error code 52, this could be caused
by transponder interference. If this
error appears, try the following.

and do not keep more than one
immobilizer key on the same key ring!
Immobilizer system keys may cause
signal interference, which may pre-
vent 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-registe-
ring key and both standard keys
to a Yamaha dealer and have the
standard keys re-registered.
If the multi-function display indicates
any error codes, note the code num-
ber, and then have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.
Clock mode
T
o set the clock:
1. Push the “SELECT” button and
“RESET” button together for at
least two seconds.
2. When the hour digits start flas-
hing, push the “RESET” button to
set the hours.3. Push the “SELECT” button, and
the minute digits will start flas-
hing.
4. Push the “RESET” button to set
the minutes.
5. Push the “SELECT” button and
then release it to start the clock.Ambient temperature display
Pushing the “SELECT” button for at
least two seconds switches the clock
display to the ambient temperature
display. This display shows the
ambient temperature from –10 °C to
50 °C in 1 °C increments. The tempe-
rature displayed may vary from the
ambient temperature. Pushing the
“SELECT” button for at least two
seconds switches the ambient tem-
perature display to the clock display.
TIP
If the ambient temperature falls
below –10 °C, a lower temperatu-
re than –10 °C will not be displa-
yed.
If the ambient temperature
climbs above 50 °C, a higher
temperature than 50 °C will not
be displayed.
The accuracy of the temperature
reading may be affected when
riding slowly (approximately
under 20 km/h (12.5 mi/h)) or
when stopped at traffic signals,
railroad crossings, etc.

Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline
in the tank.
EWA10881
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, follow
these instructions.
1. Before refueling, turn off the engi-
ne and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the
vicinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters
and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When
refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank
filler hole. Stop filling when the
fuel reaches the bottom of the
filler tube. Because fuel expands
when it heats up, heat from the
engine or the sun can cause fuel
to spill out of the fuel tank.

3. Wipe up any spilled fuel imme-
diately. NOTICE: Immediately
wipe off spilled fuel with a cle-
an, dry, soft cloth, since fuel
may deteriorate painted surfa-
ces or plastic parts.

4. Be sure to securely close the fuel
tank cap.
EWA15151
Gasoline is poisonous and can cau-
se injury or death. Handle gasoline
with care. Never siphon gasoline by
mouth. If you should swallow some
gasoline or inhale a lot of gasoline
vapor, or get some gasoline in youreyes, see your doctor immediately.
If gasoline spills on your skin, wash
with soap and water. If gasoline
spills on your clothing, change your
clothes.
EAU33520
ECA11400
Use only unleaded gasoline. The
use of leaded gasoline will cause
severe damage to internal engine
parts, such as the valves and piston
rings, as well as to the exhaust sys-
tem.
Your Yamaha engine has been desig-
ned to use regular unleaded gasoline
with a research octane number of 91
or higher. If knocking (or pinging)
occurs, use a gasoline of a different
brand or premium unleaded fuel. Use
of unleaded fuel will extend spark plug
life and reduce maintenance costs.
EAU13445
Catalytic converters
This vehicle is equipped with catalytic
converters in the exhaust system.
EWA10862
The exhaust system is hot after
operation. To prevent a fire hazard
or burns:
Do not park the vehicle near
possible fire hazards such as
grass or other materials that
easily burn.
Park the vehicle in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch the hot
exhaust system.
Make sure that the exhaust
system has cooled down befo-
re doing any maintenance
work.
Do not allow the engine to idle
more than a few minutes. Long
idling can cause a build-up of
heat.
