segment is left near “E” (Empty),
refuel as soon as possible.
TIP
This fuel meter is equipped with a self-
diagnosis system. If the electrical circuit
is defective, all the segments start flas-
hing. If this occurs, have a Yamaha dea-
ler check the electrical circuit.

If any of the ABS electrical circuits are
defective, the ABS warning light will
come on. If this occurs, have a Yama-
ha dealer check the vehicle.

TIP
If the indicator light slowly flashes five
times, and then quickly flashes two
times repeatedly, this error could be
caused by transponder interference.
If this occurs, try the following.
1. Use the code re-registering key
to start the engine.
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

ring key and both standard keys
to a Yamaha dealer and have the
standard keys re-registered.

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 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
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 malfunction.

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. 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.
1. Fuel tank filler tube
2. Maximum fuel level
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.
[ECA10071]
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
