3settings 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 last segment of the fuel meter
started flashing)


a clock


a fuel meter


an air intake temperature display


a coolant temperature display


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


a drive mode display (which shows
the selected drive mode)


a traction control system mode dis-
play (which shows the selected
traction control system mode)


a self-diagnosis device


an LCD and tachometer bright-
ness control mode
The left and right set buttons, located
under the display, allow you to control
or change the settings in the multi-func-
tion meter unit.
TIP

To use the left and right buttons,
the key must be turned to “ ON”,
except for the brightness mode.


For the U.K. only: To switch the
speedometer and odometer/trip-
meter/fuel consumption displays
between kilometers and miles,
press the left button for at least two
seconds.
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 sweeps once across
the r/min range and then returns to zero
r/min in order to test the electrical cir-
cuit.NOTICE

Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the left button switches the dis-
play between the odometer mode
“
ODO ” and the tripmeter modes “TRIP
1 ” and “TRIP 2 ” in the following order:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → ODO
TIPWhen selecting “TRIP 1 ” or “TRIP 2 ”,
the display flashes for five seconds.When approximately 3.9 L (1.03 US
gal, 0.86 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the display automatically
changes to the fuel reserve tripmeter
mode “TRIP F ” and starts counting the
distance traveled from that point. In that
case, pushing the left button switches the display between the various tripme-
ter and odometer modes in the follow-
ing order:
TRIP F
→ ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 →
TRIP F
TIPWhen selecting “TRIP 1 ”, “TRIP 2 ” or
“ TRIP F ”, the display flashes for five
seconds.To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the left button, and then push this
button for at least one second while the
display is flashing. If you do not reset
the fuel reserve tripmeter manually, it
resets itself automatically and the dis-
play returns to the prior mode after re-
fueling and traveling 5 km (3 mi). Clock
The clock displays when the key is
turned to “
ON”. In addition, the clock
can be displayed for 10 seconds by
pushing the left button when the main
switch is in the “ OFF” or “ LOCK ” posi-
tion.

Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of

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 display
segments start flashing. If this occurs,
have a Yamaha dealer check the elec-
trical circuit.Air intake temperature, coolant tem-
perature, instantaneous fuel con-
sumption and average fuel
consumption modes Push the right button to switch the dis-
play between the air intake tempera-
ture mode, the coolant temperature
mode, the instantaneous fuel con-
sumption mode
“km/L ” or “ L/100 km ”,
and the average fuel consumption
mode “AVE_ _._ km/L ” or “ AVE_ _._
L/100 km ” in the following order:
air intake temperature → coolant tem-
perature → km/L or L/100 km → AVE_
_._ km/L or AVE_ _._ L/100 km → air
intake temperature
For the UK only:
Push the right button to switch the dis-
play between the air intake tempera-
ture mode, the coolant temperature
mode, the instantaneous fuel con-
sumption mode “km/L ”, “L/100 km ” or
“ MPG ”, and the average fuel consump-
tion mode “ AVE_ _._ km/L ”, “AVE_ _._

Traction control system mode dis-
play
This display indicates which traction
control system mode has been select-
ed:
“1 ”, “ 2” or “ Off”. For more details on
the modes and on how to select them,
refer to page 3-21. Self-diagnosis device
This model is equipped with a self-diag-
nosis device for various electrical cir-
cuits.
If a problem is detected in the immobi-
lizer system circuits, the immobilizer
system indicator light flashes and the
display indicates an error code.
If a problem is detected in any other cir-
cuit, the engine trouble warning light
comes on and the display indicates an
error code.
If the display indicates any error codes,
note the code number, and then have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
TIPIf the display indicates immobilizer sys-
tem circuit error code 52, this could be
caused by transponder interference. If
this error code appears, try following
the procedure below.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 andtry 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.

ABS The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con-
trol system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently. The ABS is
monitored by an ECU, which will have
recourse to manual braking if a mal-
function occurs.
WARNING
EWA10090


The ABS performs best on long
braking distances.


On certain (rough or gravel)
roads, the braking distance may
be longer with than without the
ABS. Therefore, always keep a
sufficient distance 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 ” noise can be
heard from under the seat, and if
the brake lever or brake pedal are even slightly applied, a vibration
can be felt at the lever and pedal,
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 lever or brake pedal,
but this does not indicate a mal-
function.


This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience the
pulsating at the brake lever or
brake pedal when the ABS is oper-
ating. However, special tools are
required, so please consult your
Yamaha dealer when performing this test.
NOTICE
ECA16830
Keep any type of magnets (including
magnetic pick-up tools, magnetic
screwdrivers, etc.) away from the
front and rear wheel hubs; other-
wise, the magnetic rotors equipped
in the wheel hubs may be damaged, resulting in improper performance
of the ABS and the unified brake
system.
