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.
The self-diagnosis device also detects
problems in the immobilizer system
circuits. (See page 3-11 for an expla-
nation of the self-diagnosis device.)

Be sure to stop the vehicle
before
makin g any settin g chan ges to the
multi-function meter unit. Chan gin g
settin gs while ri din g can distract the
operator an d increase the risk of an
acci dent.
The multi-function meter unit is
equipped with the following:
 a speedometer
 a tachometer
 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 left segment of the fuel meter
started flashing)
 a clock
 a fuel meter
 a coolant temperature display
 a self-diagnosis deviceTIPBe sure to turn the key to “ON” be-
fore using the “SELECT” and “RE-
SET” buttons.
 For the UK only: To switch the
speedometer and odometer/trip-

traveling speed.
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 needle will sweep once
across the r/min range and then return
to zero r/min in order to test the electri-
cal circuit.

Clock
The clock displays when the key is
turned to “ON”. In addition, the clock
can be displayed for 10 seconds by
pushing the “SELECT” button when

“LOCK” or “ ” position.
To set the clock1. Turn the key to “ON”.
2. Push the “SELECT” button and
“RESET” button together for at

Push the “SELECT” button to switch
the display between the odometer
mode “ODO” and the tripmeter modes
“TRIP A” and “TRIP B” in the following
order:
TRIP A → TRIP B → ODO → TRIP A
When the fuel amount in the fuel tank
decreases to 3.2 L (0.85 US gal,
0.70 Imp.gal), the left segment of the

odometer display will automatically
change to the fuel reserve tripmeter
mode “F-TRIP” and start counting the
distance traveled from that point. In
that case, push the “SELECT” button
to switch the display between the vari-
ous tripmeter and odometer modes in
the following order:
F-TRIP
→ TRIP A → TRIP B → ODO →
F-TRIP
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” 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). 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 on
the left starts flashing, refuel as soon as
possible.
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 symbol “ ” flash eight times, then go off for approximately 3
seconds. If this occurs, have a Yamaha
dealer check the electrical circuit.
Coolant temperature

The coolant temperature display indi-
cates the temperature of the coolant.NOTICE

NOTICE
ECA11401
Use only unlea ded g asoline. The use
of lead ed g asoline will cause severe
d amag e to internal en gine parts,
such as the valves an d piston rin gs,
as well as to the exhaust system.Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use regular unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
95 or higher. If knocking (or pinging)
occurs, use a gasoline of a different brand or premium unleaded fuel. Use
of unleaded fuel will extend spark plug
life and reduce maintenance costs.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gaso-
hol containing ethanol and that con-
taining methanol. Gasohol containing
ethanol can be used if the ethanol con-
tent does not exceed 10% (E10). Gas-
ohol containing methanol is not
recommended by Yamaha because it
can cause damage to the fuel system
or vehicle performance problems.

overflow hoseBefore operating the motorcycle:
 Check each hose connection.
 Check each hose for cracks or
damage, and replace if necessary.
 Make sure that the end of each
hose is not blocked, and clean if
necessary.
 Make sure that each hose is rout-
ed through the clamp.
 Make sure that the paint mark on
each hose is below the clamp.
