Multi-function display
WARNING
EWA12312
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
making any setting changes to the
multi-function display. Changing
settings while riding can distract the
operator and increase the risk of anaccident.The multi-function display is equipped
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
when the remaining fuel in the
fuel tank reaches approximately
3.0 L (0.79 US gal, 0.66 Imp.gal))

a self-diagnosis device

a clock

an ambient temperature display

a fuel consumption display (aver-
age and instantaneous consump-
tion functions)

an oil change tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled since
the last engine oil change)

a V-belt replacement tripmeter
(which shows the distance trav-
eled since the last V-belt replace-
ment)
TIP
Be sure to turn the key to “ON” be-
fore using the left and right set but-
tons.

9flashes (i.e. before the periodic V-belt
change interval has been reached), the
indicator “V-Belt” must be reset after
the V-belt change for the next periodic
V-belt change to be indicated at the
correct time.
The electrical circuit of the indicator can
be checked according to the following
procedure.
1. Turn the key to “ON” and make sure that the engine stop switch is
set to “ ”.
2. Check that the V-belt replacement indicator comes on for a few sec-
onds and then goes off.
3. If the V-belt replacement indicator does not come on, have a Yamaha
dealer check the el ectrical circuit.Ambient temperature display, aver-
age fuel consumption, and instan-
taneous fuel consumption modes
Push the right set button to switch the
display between the ambient tempera-
ture display “Air”, the average fuel con-
sumption mode “AVE_ _._ km/L” or
“AVE_ _._ L/100 km”, and the instanta-
neous fuel consumption mode “km/L”
or “L/100 km” in the following order:
Air
 AVE_ _._ km/L or AVE_ _._ L/
100 km  km/L or L/100 km  Air
For the UK only:
Push the right set button to switch the
display between the ambient tempera- ture display “Air”, the average fuel con-
sumption mode “AVE_ _._ MPG” and
the instantaneous fuel consumption
mode “MPG” in the following order:
Air
 AVE_ _._ MPG  MPG  Air
Ambient temperature display
This display shows the ambient tem-
perature from –9 C to 40 C in 1  C in-
crements.
For the UK only:
15 F to 104 F in 1 F increments.

from the ambient temperature. Pushing
the right set button switches the ambi-
ent temperature display to the average
fuel consumption and instantaneous
fuel consumption modes.
Average fuel consumption mode
The average fuel consumption display
can be set to either “AVE_ _._ km/L” or
“AVE_ _._ L/100 km” (except for the
UK).
For the UK only:
The average fuel consumption is dis-
played “AVE_ _._ MPG”.
This display shows the average fuel consumption since it was last reset.

When the display is set to “AVE_
_._ km/L”, the average distance
that can be traveled on 1.0 L of fuel
is shown.

When the display is set to “AVE_
_._ L/100 km”, the average
amount of fuel necessary to travel
100 km is shown.

For the UK only: When the display
is set to “AVE_ _._ MPG”, the av-
erage distance that can be trav-
eled on 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel is
shown.
To switch between the average fuel
consumption displays, push the left set
button for one second when one of the
displays is shown (except for the UK).
To reset the average fuel consumption
display, select it by pushing the right set
button, and then push the right set but-
ton for at least one second.
TIPAfter resetting an average fuel con-
sumption display, “_ _._” is shown for
that display until the vehicle has trav-eled 1 km (0.6 mi). Instantaneous fuel consumption mode
The instantaneous fuel consumption
display can be set to either “km/L” or “L/
100 km” (except for the UK).
For the UK only:
The instantaneous fuel consumption is
displayed “MPG”.
When the display is set to “km/L”,
the distance that can be traveled
on 1.0 L of fuel under the current
riding conditions is shown.

When the display is set to “L/100
km”, the amount of fuel necessary
to travel 100 km under the current
riding conditions is shown.

Braking
WARNING
EWA10300

Avoid braking hard or suddenly
(especially when leaning over to
one side), otherwise the scooter
may skid or overturn.

Railroad crossings, streetcar
rails, iron plates on road con-
struction sites, and manhole
covers become extremely slip-
pery when wet. Therefore, slow
down when approaching such
areas and cross them with cau-
tion.

Keep in mind that braking on a
wet road is much more difficult.

Ride slowly down a hill, as brak-
ing downhill can be very diffi-cult.
1. Close the throttle completely.
2. Apply both front and rear brakes simultaneously while gradually in-
creasing the pressure. Front

Tips for reducing fuel
consumption Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the following
tips to reduce fuel consumption:
Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.

Avoid high engine speeds with no
load on the engine.

Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length of
time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traffic
lights or at railroad crossings).
