Oil level warnin g li ght “ ”
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.
TIP Even if the oil level is sufficient, the
warning light may flicker when rid-
ing on a slope or during sudden
acceleration or deceleration, but
this is not a malfunction.
 This model is also equipped with a
self-diagnosis device for the oil
level detection circuit. If a problem
is detected in the oil level detec-
tion circuit, the following cycle will
be repeated until the malfunction
is corrected: The oil level warning
light will flash ten times, then go
off for 2.5 seconds. If this occurs,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle.

Engine trou ble warnin g li ght “ ”
This warning light comes on if a prob-
lem is detected in the electrical circuit
monitoring the engine. If this occurs,
have a Yamaha dealer check the self-
diagnosis system. (See page 3-17 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.
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.
TIPThis warning light will come on when
the key is turned to “ON” and the start
switch is pushed, but this does not in-
dicate a malfunction.

Tachometer The electric tachometer allows the rid-
er to monitor the engine speed and
keep it within the ideal power range.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the ta-
chometer will sweep across the r/min
range and then return to zero r/min in
order to test the electrical circuit.

Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel meter disappear to-
wards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When the last segment of
the fuel meter and fuel level warning
indicator “ ” start flashing, refuel as
soon as possible. When the key is
turned to “ON”, all of the display seg-
ments of the fuel meter will appear for
a few seconds, and then the fuel meter
shows the actual fuel level.
TIPThis fuel meter is equipped with a self-
diagnosis system. If a problem is de-
tected in the electrical circuit, the fol-
lowing cycle is repeated until the
malfunction is corrected: fuel level seg-
ments and fuel level warning
indicator “ ” flash eight times, then go
off for approximately 3 seconds. If this
occurs, have a Yamaha dealer check
the electrical circuit.Eco in
dicator This indicator comes on when the vehi-
cle is being operated in an environ-
mentally friendly, fuel-efficient manner.
The indicator goes off when the vehicle
is stopped.
TIPConsider the following tips to reduce
fuel consumption:
 Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
 Travel at a constant speed.
 Select the transmission gear that
is appropriate for the vehicle
speed.Transmission gear display

TIPThe odometer and the clock cannot be
reset.Self-diagnosis mo de
This model is equipped with a self-di-
agnosis device for various electrical
circuits. If a problem is detected in any
of those circuits, the engine trouble
warning light will come on and the in-
formation display will indicate an error
code. If the information display indicates any
error codes, note the code number,
and then have a Yamaha dealer check
the vehicle.
The self-diagnosis device also detects
problems in the immobilizer system
circuits.
If a problem is detected in the immobi-
lizer system circuits, the immobilizer
system indicator light will flash and the
information display will indicate an er-
ror code when the key is turned to
“ON”.
TIPIf the information display indicates er-
ror code 52, this could be caused by
transponder interference. If this error
appears, try the following.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.NOTICE

Mode “STD” is suitable for various rid-
ing conditions. This mode allows the rider to enjoy
smooth and sporty drivability from the
low-speed range to the high-speed
range.
Mo
de “A”
Mode “A” offers a sportier engine re-
sponse in the low- to mid-speed range
compared to mode “STD”.
Mo de “B”
Mode “B” offers response that is
somewhat less sharp compared to
mode “STD” for riding situations that
require especially sensitive throttle op-
eration.
