SpeedometerThe speedometer shows the riding
speed.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the
speedometer needle will sweep once
across the speed range and then return
to zero in order to test the electrical cir-
cuit.
EAU11873
TachometerThe electric tachometer allows the rider
to monitor the engine speed and keep it
within the ideal power range.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the ta-
chometer needle will sweep once
across the r/min range and then return
to zero r/min in order to test the electri-
cal circuit.NOTICE

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.

When the key is turned to “ON”, all
of the display segments of the multi-function display will appear
one after the other and then disap-
pear, in order to test the electrical
circuits.
Clock
To set the clock:
1. Push the left set button and right set button together for at least two
seconds.
2. When the hour digits start flashing, push the right set button to set the
hours.
3. Push the left set button, and the minute digits will start flashing.
4. Push the right set button to set the
1. Tripmeter/fuel reserve tripmeter
2. Ambient temperature/average fuel consumption/instantaneous fuel

fuel meter indicates the amount of fuel
in the fuel tank. The display segments
of the fuel meter disappear towards “E”
(Empty) as the fuel level decreases.
When the fuel level reaches the bottom
segment near “E”, the fuel level warn-
ing indicator, “F”, “E”, and the bottom
segment will flash. Refuel as soon as
possible.
Coolant temperature meter
With the key in the “ON” position, the
coolant temperature meter indicates
the temperature of the coolant. The
coolant temperature varies with chang-
es in the weather and engine load. If
the top segment, “H”, “C”, and coolant
temperature warning indicator flash,
stop the vehicle and let the engine cool. (See page 6-38.)
NOTICE
ECA10022
Do not continue to operate the en-gine if it is overheating.
Oil change indicator “Oil”
This indicator flashes at the initial 1000
km (600 mi), then at 5000 km (3000 mi)
and every 5000 km (3000 mi) thereafter
to indicate that the engine oil should be
changed.
After changing the engine oil, reset the
oil change indicator. To reset the oil
change indicator, select it by pushing
the left set button until “Oil Trip” is dis-
played, and then push the left set but-
ton at least one second. When pushing
the left set button, “Oil Trip” starts flash-
ing. While “Oil Trip” is flashing, push the
left set button for at least three sec-
onds.
If the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator “Oil” flashes (i.e.
before the periodic oil change interval
has been reached), the indicator “Oil”
must be reset after the oil change for
the next periodic oil change to be indi-
cated at the correct time.
The electrical circuit of the indicator can
be checked according to the following
procedure.
1. Set the engine stop switch to “ ” and turn the key to “ON”.
2. Check that the oil change indicator comes on for a few seconds and1. Oil change indicator “Oil”1

FOR YOUR SAFETY – PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
EAU15598
Inspect your vehicle each time you use it to make sure the vehicle is in safe operating condition. Always follow the inspection
and maintenance procedures and schedules described in the Owner’s Manual.
WARNING
EWA11152
Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an accident or equipment damage.
Do not operate the vehicle if you find any problem. If a problem cannot be corrected by the procedures provided inthis manual, have the vehicle inspected by a Yamaha dealer.
Before using this vehicle, check the following points:
ITEM CHECKS PAGE
Fuel Check fuel level in fuel tank.
Refuel if necessary.
Check fuel line for leakage.
Check fuel tank breather hose and overflow hose for obstructions, cracks or
damage, and check hose connections. 3-17
Engine oil Check oil level in engine.
If necessary, add recommended oil to specified level.
Check vehicle for oil leakage. 6-11
Coolant Check coolant level in reservoir.
If necessary, add recommended coolant to specified level.
Check cooling system for leakage. 6-14
Front brake Check operation.
If soft or spongy, have Yamaha dealer bleed hydraulic system.
Check brake pads for wear.
Replace if necessary.
Check fluid level in reservoir.
If necessary, add specified brake fluid to specified level.
Check hydraulic system for leakage. 6-20, 6-22, 6-23

been reached), the indicator must be
reset after the oil change for the next
periodic oil change to be indicated at
the correct time.
EAU20071
CoolantThe coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the cool-
ant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAU52021
To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on the center- stand.TIP
The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level
varies with engine temperature.

Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking
the coolant level. A slight tilt to theside can result in a false reading.
2. Check the coolant level through the check window.
TIPThe coolant should be between theminimum and maximum level marks. 3. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, remove the
left floorboard mat by pulling it up.
4. Remove the coolant reservoir cov-

9er by removing the screw.
5. Open the coolant reservoir cap, add coolant to the maximum level
mark, and then close the reservoir
cap. WARNING! Remove only
the coolant reservoir cap. Never
attempt to remove the radiator
cap when the engine is
hot.
[EWA15162]
NOTICE: If coolant is
not available, use distilled water
or soft tap water instead. Do not
use hard water or salt water
since it is harmful to the engine.
If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with cool-
ant as soon as possible, other- wise the cooling system will not
be protected against frost and
corrosion. If water has been
added to the coolant, have a
Yamaha dealer check the anti-
freeze content of the coolant as
soon as possible, otherwise the
effectiveness of the coolant will
be reduced.
[ECA10473]
6. Install the coolant reservoir cover
by installing the screw.
7. Place the left floorboard mat in the original position and push it down-
ward to secure it.
EAU52031
Replacing the air filter elementThe air filter element should be re-
placed at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart. Replace the air filter element
more frequently if you are riding in un-
usually wet or dusty areas.
To replace the air filter element1. Remove panel C. (See page 6-8.)
2. Remove the air filter case cover by removing the screws.
3. Pull the air filter element out.
