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.
NOTICE
ECA10022
Do not continue to operate the en-gine if it is overheating.TIP
For radiator-fan-equipped vehi-
cles, the radiator fan(s) automati-
cally switch on or off according to
the coolant temperature in the ra-
diator.

If the engine overheats, see page6-44 for further instructions.

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 3-8
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

TIP
The multi-function display can be
set to the basic mode or the mea-
surement mode.

Tripmeter A will automatically re-
set to zero when changing from
the basic mode to the measure-ment mode or vice versa.
Basic mode:

a speedometer

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 since
the fuel level warning light came
on)

a clock

a self-diagnosis device
Measurement mode:

a speedometer

a distance-compensation tripme-
ter (which shows the accumulated
distance traveled since set to zero
and which can be calibrated to pro-
vide a more accurate tripmeter
reading)

a stopwatch (which shows the time
that has been accumulated since
the start of stopwatch measure-
ment)

a self-diagnosis device
TIP
Be sure to turn the key to “ON” be-
fore using the “SELECT 1”, “SE-
LECT 2” and “RESET” buttons.

When the key is turned to “ON”, all
of the display segments of the
multi-function display will appear and then disappear, in order to test
the electrical circuit.

For the UK only: To switch the
speedometer and odometer/trip-
meter displays between kilometers
and miles, press the “SELECT 2”
button until the display changes af-ter the key is turned to “ON”.
Basic mode
Odometer and tripmeter modes
Push the “SELECT 2” button to switch
the display between the odometer
mode and the tripmeter modes A and B
in the following order:
odometer  tripmeter A  tripmeter B
 odometer

TIPIndicator “ ” comes on when tripmeter
A is selected, and indicator “ ” comeson when tripmeter B is selected.
If the fuel level warning light comes on (see page 3-2), the display will auto-
matically change to the fuel reserve
tripmeter mode “F” and start counting
the distance traveled from that point. In
this case, push the “SELECT 2” button
to switch the display between the vari-
ous tripmeter and odometer modes in
the following order:
fuel reserve tripmeter “F”
 odometer
 tripmeter A  tripmeter B  fuel re-
serve tripmeter “F”
TIPThe fuel level warning light may not
function accurately while riding off road
as the fuel level reading changes due to
the movement and inclination of the ve-hicle.
If the fuel level warning light comes on
while riding in the measurement mode,
change to the basic mode and push the
“SELECT 2” button to display the fuel
reserve tripmeter.TIPTo change from the measurement
mode to the basic mode, the stopwatch
and the distance-compensation tripme-ter must be stopped. To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT 2” button, and then
push the “RESET” button for at least
one second. If you do not reset the fuel
reserve tripmeter manually, it will reset
itself automatically and the display will
return to the prior mode after refueling
and traveling 5 km (3 mi).
Clock
The clock displays when the key is
turned to “ON”.
To set the clock1. Push the “SELECT 1” button for at
least two seconds.

digits or “SELECT 2” button to de-
crease the digits. Pushing and
holding either button will increase
or decrease the digits continuously
until the button is released.

If the “RESET” button is not
pushed within 30 seconds, the
clock will not be set and will returnto the prior time. Changing from the basic mode to
the measurement mode
With the odometer selected, push the
“SELECT 1” button and “SELECT 2”
button together for at least two seconds
to change to the measurement mode.
Changing from the measurement
mode to the basic mode
TIPThe stopwatch must be stopped beforechanging to the basic mode.
1. Check that the stopwatch is not in operation. If the stopwatch is in op-
eration, stop it by pushing the “SE-
LECT 1” button and “SELECT 2”
button together.
2. Push the “SELECT 1” button and “SELECT 2” button together for at
least two seconds to change to the
basic mode.
Measurement mode (for the stop-
watch)
When the measurement mode is se-
lected, the stopwatch is displayed and it
can be started manually or automatical-
ly. Manual start
The manual start is the default setting
for the stopwatch. The stopwatch indi-
cator “ ” and the distance-compensa-
tion tripmeter indicator “ ” will start
flashing.
1. Push the “RESET” button to start the stopwatch.
2. Push the “SELECT 1” button and “SELECT 2” button together to
stop the stopwatch.
3. To resume stopwatch counting, push the “SELECT 1” button and

when the vehicle is stopped. To stop
and/or resume counting, repeat steps 3and 4.
Measurement mode (for calibrating
the distance-compensation tripme-
ter’s reading)
The distance-compensation tripmeter
is a feature intended to provide a more
accurate tripmeter reading for enduro
riding. Calibrating this meter in accor-
dance with the distances specified on
the enduro course map will help famil-
iarize the rider with the course. In addi-
tion, calibrating the meter may also be
necessary when using tire, wheel,
chain sprocket sizes, etc. other than
specified. For further information con-
cerning the use of this meter, please
consult your nearby Yamaha dealer. Calibrate the distance-compensation
tripmeter as follows.
To increase the reading, push the “SE-
LECT 1” button. To decrease the read-
ing, push the “SELECT 2” button.
Pushing and holding either button will
increase or decrease the reading con-
tinuously until the button is released.
TIPCalibrating the reading of the dis-
tance-compensation tripmeter is possi-
ble regardless of the stopwatchoperation.

tion tripmeter or the distance-com-
pensation tripmeter in combination

Self-diagnosis device
This model is equipped with a self-diag-
nosis device for vari ous electrical cir-
cuits.
If a problem is detected in any of those
circuits, the engine trouble warning light
will come on and the display will indi-
cate an error code.
If the display indicates any error codes,
note the code number, and then have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
NOTICE
ECA11591
If the display indicates an error
code, the vehicle should be checked
as soon as possible in order to avoidengine damage.
