2011 YAMAHA XMAX 125 warning

1. V-belt replacement indicator “V-BELT”
2. Fuel level warning indicator “ ”
3. Coolant temperature warning indicator “ ”
4. Oil change indicator “OIL”
The multi-function display is equip-
ped with the following:
a fuel meter
a coolant temperature meter
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 sin-
ce the bottom segment of the
fuel meter and fuel level warning
indicator started flashing)
a self-diagnosis device
a clock
an ambient temperature display
an oil change indicator
a V-belt replacement indicator
TIP
Be sure to turn the key to “ON”
before using the “SELECT” and
“RESET” buttons.
When the key is turned to “ON”,
all of the display segments of the
multi-function display will appear
and then disappear, in order to
test the electrical circuit.
Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the “SELECT” button swit-
ches the display between the odome-
ter mode “Odo” and the tripmeter
modes “Trip” in the following order:
Odo/Trip (top) Trip (bottom)/Trip
(top) Odo/Trip (top) When approximately 2.0 L (0.53 US
gal, 0.44 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in
the fuel tank, the bottom segment of
the fuel meter and fuel level warning
indicator will start flashing, and the
display will automatically change to
the fuel reserve tripmeter mode “Trip
F” and start counting the distance tra-
veled from that point. In that case,
pushing the “SELECT” button swit-
ches the display between the various
tripmeter and odometer modes in the
following order:
Trip F/Trip (top)
Trip (bottom)/Trip
(top) Odo/Trip (top)  Trip F/Trip

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).
ECA10021
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
6-10).

The hazard lights are used in case of
an emergency or to warn other drivers
when your vehicle is stopped where it
might be a traffic hazard.

ABS (for ABS models)
The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic
control system, which acts on the
front and rear brakes independently.
The ABS securely controls wheel loc-
kup during emergency braking on
changing road surfaces and under
various weather conditions, thereby
maximizing tire adhesion and perfor-
mance while providing a smooth bra-
king action. The ABS is monitored by
an ECU, which will have recourse to
manual braking if a malfunction
occurs.
EWA10090
The ABS performs best on long
braking distances.
On certain (rough or gravel)
roads, the braking distance
may be longer with than wit-
hout the ABS. Therefore,
always keep a sufficient distan-
ce to the vehicle ahead to
match the riding speed.
TIP
The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test for a few seconds each
time the vehicle first starts off
after the key was turned to “ON”.
During this test, a “clicking” noi-
se can be heard from the front of
the vehicle, and if either brake
lever is even slightly applied, a
vibration can be felt at the lever,
but these do not indicate a mal-
function.
When the ABS is activated, the
brakes are operated in the usual
way. A pulsating action may be
felt at the brake levers, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.
This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience
the pulsating at the brake levers
when the ABS is operating.
However, special tools are requi-
red, so please consult your
Yamaha dealer when performing
this test.WARNING

Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly closed after filling fuel.
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard.
EAU13221
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.

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.

rage compartment.
1. Rear storage compartmentECA10080
Keep the following points in mind
when using the storage compart-
ment.
Since the storage compart-
ment accumulates heat when
exposed to the sun, do not sto-
re anything susceptible to heat
inside it.
To avoid humidity from sprea-
ding through the storage com-
partment, wrap wet articles in
a plastic bag before storing
them in the compartment.
Since the storage compart-
ment may get wet while the
