Turn signal indicator lights “ ” 
and “ ” 
The corresponding indicator light flash-
es when the turn signal switch is
pushed to the left or right.

Neutral indicator light “ ” 
This indicator light comes on when the
transmission is in the neutral position.
EAU11080
High beam indicator light “ ” 
This indicator light comes on when the
high beam of the headlight is switched
on.
EAU11123
Oil level warning light “ ” 
This warning light comes on if the en-
gine oil level is low.
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by turning the key to
“ON”. The warning light should come
on for a few seconds, and then go off.
If the warning light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ON”,
or if the warning light remains on, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.
TIPEven if the oil level is sufficient, the
warning light may flicker when riding on
a slope or during sudden acceleration
or deceleration, but this is not a mal-
function.

See page 3-7 for an explanation of
these indicator lights.

Engine trouble warning light “ ” 
This warning light comes on or flashes
if a problem is detected in the electrical
circuit monitoring the engine. If this oc-
curs, have a Yamaha dealer check the
self-diagnosis system. (See page 3-23
for an explanation of the self-diagnosis
device.)
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by turning the key to
“ON”. The warning light should come
on for a few seconds, and then go off.

Setting mode
TIP●
The transmission must be in neu-
tral and the vehicle must be
stopped to change settings in this
mode.
●
Shifting the transmission into gear
and starting off, or turning the key
to “OFF”, saves all settings made,
then exits the setting mode.
Push and hold the menu switch
“MENU” for at least 2 seconds to enter
the setting mode. To exit the setting
mode and return to the normal display,
push and hold the menu switch
“MENU” again for at least 2 seconds.

Display Description
“Grip Warmer” This function allows you to 
set the low, middle, and 
high settings to 10 temper-
ature levels.
“Maintenance” This function allows you to 
check and reset the “OIL” 
oil change interval (dis-
tance traveled), and the 
“FREE-1” and “FREE-2” 
maintenance intervals.
“Time Trip” This function allows you to 
check and reset the 
“TIME–2” and “TIME–3” 
functions. These time trips 
show the total elapsed 
time that the key has been 
in the “ON” position. When 
the key is turned to “OFF”, 
the time trips stop counting 
but are not reset. The max-
imum time that can be 
shown is 99:59.
When the time trips reach 
99:59, they automatically 
reset to 0:00 and continue 
counting.
“Unit”
This function allows you to 
switch the fuel consump-
tion units between 
“L/100km” and “km/L”.
For the UK only: This func-
tion allows you to switch 
the display units between 
kilometers and miles. 
When kilometers are se-
lected, the fuel consump-
tion units can be switched 
between “L/100km” and 
“km/L”.
“Display” This function allows you to 
change the items shown in 
3 information displays.
“Brightness” This function allows you to 
adjust the brightness of the 
multi-function meter unit 
panel to suit the outside 
lighting conditions.
“Clock” This function allows you to 
set the clock.
“All Reset” This function allows you to 
reset all items, except the 
odometer and the clock.

If a warning or indicator light does
not come on initially when the key is
turned to “ON”, or if a warning or in-
dicator light remains on, see page
3-4 for the corresponding warning
and indicator light circuit check.
The ABS warning light should
come on when the key is turned to
“ON”, and then go off after travel-
ing at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h)
or higher.
NOTICE
ECA17681
If the ABS warning light does not
come on and then go off as ex-
plained above, see page 3-4 for the
warning light circuit check.2. Shift the transmission into the neu-tral position. The neutral indicator
light should come on. If not, ask a
Yamaha dealer to check the elec- trical circuit.
3. Start the engine by pushing the “ ” side of the start/engine
stop switch with the front or rear
brake applied.
If the engine fails to start, release
the start/engine stop switch, wait a
few seconds, and then try again.
Each starting attempt should be as
short as possible to preserve the
battery. Do not crank the engine
more than 10 seconds on any one
attempt.
NOTICE
ECA11042
For maximum engine life, never ac-
celerate hard when the engine is
cold!
