Immobilizer system indicator light
The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked by turning the key
to “ON”. The indicator light should
come on for a few seconds, and then
go off.
If the indicator light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ON”,
or if the indicator light remains on, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.
When the key is turned to “OFF” and 30
seconds have passed, the indicator
light will start flashing indicating the im-
mobilizer system is enabled. After 24
hours have passed, the indicator light
will stop flashing, however the immobi-
lizer system is still enabled.
The self-diagnosis device also detects
problems in the immobilizer system cir-
cuits. (See page 3-8 for an explanation
of the self-diagnosis device.)

Multi-function meter unit
WARNING
EWA12422
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
making any setting changes to the
multi-function meter unit. Changing
settings 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
●
a fuel gauge
●
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 on the
fuel reserve)
●
a clock
●
a self-diagnosis device
●
a brightness control mode
TIP●
Be sure to turn the key to “ON” be-
fore using the “SELECT” and reset
switches, except for setting the
brightness control mode.
●
For the U.K. only: To switch the
speedometer and odometer/trip-
meter displays between kilometers
and miles, press the “SELECT”
switch for at least two seconds.

3Fuel 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 needle reaches
“E”, approximately 3.0 L (0.79 US gal,
0.66 Imp.gal) remain in the fuel tank. If
this occurs, refuel as soon as possible.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the fuel
gauge needle will sweep once across
the fuel level range and then return to
the current amount in order to test the
electrical circuit.
TIPAfter refueling, the fuel gauge does not
indicate the correct fuel level unless the
vehicle speed has exceeded 5 km/h (3
mi/h).Odometer, tripmeters, fuel reserve
tripmeter and clock
Push the “SELECT” switch to switch
the display between the odometer
mode “ODO”, the tripmeter modes
“TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2” and the clock
mode in the following order:
ODO
→ TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → Clock →
ODO If the fuel level warning light comes on
(see page 3-4), the odometer display
will automatically change to the fuel re-
serve tripmeter mode “F-TRIP” and
start counting the distance traveled
from that point. In that case, push the
“SELECT” switch to switch the display
between the various tripmeter, odome-
ter, and clock modes in the following or-
der:
F-TRIP
→ TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → Clock
→ ODO → F-TRIP
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” switch, and then
push the reset switch for at least one
second. If you do not reset the fuel re-
serve tripmeter manually, it will reset it-
self automatically, and the display will
return to the prior mode after refueling
and traveling 5 km (3 mi).

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. 3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately. NOTICE: Immediately wipe
off spilled fuel with a clean, dry,
soft cloth, since fuel may deteri-
orate painted surfaces or plastic
parts.
[ECA10071]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel tank cap.
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.

NOTICE
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 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-
