3hours have passed, the indicator light
will stop flashing, however the immobi-
lizer system is still enabled.
TIPThe self-diagnosis device also detects
problems in the immobilizer system cir-
cuits. If the immobilizer system is not
working correctly, the indicator light will
start flashing a pattern when the key is
turned to “ON”. When this occurs, have
a Yamaha dealer check the self-diag-
nosis system. However, if the indicator
light slowly flashes five times, and then
quickly flashes two times repeatedly,
this error could be caused by signal in-
terference. If this occurs, try the follow-
ing.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, 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-registering
key and both standard keys to a
Yamaha dealer and have the stan-
dard keys re-registered.

Fuel gauge The fuel gauge indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The needle moves
towards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When the remaining fuel in
the tank reaches approximately 2.7 L
(0.72 US gal, 0.60 Imp.gal), the fuel
level warning light will come on and the
multi-function display will automatically
change to the “Trip/fuel” mode. (See
page 3-6.) If this occurs, refuel as soon
as possible.TIPDo not allow the fuel tank to empty itself
completely.
EAU12173
Coolant temperature gauge With the key in the “ON” position, the
coolant temperature gauge indicates
the temperature of the coolant. The
coolant temperature varies with chang-
es in the weather and engine load. If
the needle reaches or enters the red
zone, stop the vehicle and let the en-
gine cool. (See page 6-34.)NOTICE

Do not continue to operate the en-
gine if it is overheating.

two tripmeters (which show the
distance traveled since they were
last set to zero, the time passed
since the tripmeters were set to ze-
ro, and the average speed traveled
during this time)
●
a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled since
the fuel level warning light came
on)
●
a clock
●
an ambient temperature display
●
an oil change indicator (which
comes on when the engine oil
should be changed)
TIP●
For the UK, the distance traveled
is displayed in miles and the tem-
perature reading is displayed in °F.
●
For other countries, the distance
traveled is displayed in kilometers
and the temperature reading is dis-
played in °C.
Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the “MODE” button switches
the display between the odometer
mode “Total” and the tripmeter modes
“Trip” in the following order:
Total → Trip 1 → Trip 2 → Trip/fuel →
TotalTIPThe Trip/fuel odometer is only activated
if the fuel level warning light comes on.Pushing the “SET” button when in the
tripmeter mode switches the display
between the different tripmeter func-
tions in the following order:Trip 1 or Trip 2 → Time 1 or 2 → Aver-
age speed 1 or 2 → Trip 1 or Trip 2
If the fuel level warning light comes on
(See page 3-5.), the display will auto-
matically change to the fuel reserve
tripmeter mode “Trip/fuel” and start
counting the distance traveled from that
point. In that case, pushing the “MODE”
button switches the display between
the various tripmeter and odometer
modes in the following order:
Trip/Fuel → Trip 1 → Trip 2 → Total →

3Oil change indicator “OIL”
The engine oil should be changed
when this indicator comes on. The indi-
cator stays on until it is reset. After
changing the engine oil, reset the indi-
cator as follows.
1. With the key turned to “ON”, while
holding the “MODE” and “SET”
buttons pushed, turn the key to
“OFF”, and then turn the key back
to “ON”.
2. Continue holding the “MODE” and
“SET” buttons pushed for two to
five seconds.
3. Release the buttons and the oil
change indicator will go off.
TIP●
The oil change indicator will come
on at the initial 1000 km (600 mi),
5000 km (3000 mi) after the initial
1000 km (600 mi) and every 6000
km (3600 mi) thereafter.
●
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 in-
dicator must be reset after the oil
change for the next periodic oil
change to be indicated at the cor-
rect time. After resetting, the indi-
cator will come on for two seconds.
If the indicator does not come on,
repeat the procedure.

WARNING
EWA11091
Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly closed after filling fuel.
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard.
EAU13212
Fuel Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
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 en-
gine and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity 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.

WARNING
EWA15151
Gasoline is poisonous and can
cause injury or death. Handle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gaso-
line by mouth. If you should swallow
some gasoline or inhale a lot of gas-
oline vapor, or get some gasoline in
your eyes, see your doctor immedi-ately. If gasoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap and water. If gaso-
line spills on your clothing, change
your clothes.

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 system.Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use premium unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
95 or higher. If knocking (or pinging) oc-
curs, use a gasoline of a differentbrand. Use of unleaded fuel will extend
spark plug life and reduce maintenance
costs.

Catalytic converters This vehicle is equipped with catalytic
converters in the exhaust system.
WARNING
EWA10862
The exhaust system is hot after op-
eration. 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 sys-
tem has cooled down before do-
ing any maintenance work.

Do not allow the engine to idle
more than a few minutes. Long
idling can cause a build-up of
heat.
