TachometerThe 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.NOTICE
ECA10032
Do not operate the engine in the ta-
chometer red zone.
Red zone: 8250 r/min and above

Multi-function display
WARNING
EWA12313
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
making any setting changes to the
multi-function display. Changing
settings while riding can distract the
operator and increase the risk of an
accident.
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 since
the bottom segment of the fuel
meter and fuel level warning indi-
cator started flashing)
a self-diagnosis device
a clock
an ambient temperature display

a V-belt replacement indicator
TIPBe sure to turn the key to “ON” be-
fore using the “SELECT” and “RE-
SET” buttons.
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
circuit.
For the UK, the distance traveled
is displayed in miles and the tem-
perature reading is displayed in
°C.
For other countries, the distance
traveled is displayed in kilometers
and the temperature reading is
displayed in °C.Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the “SELECT” button switch-
es the display between the odometer
mode “Odo” and the tripmeter modes
“Trip” in the following order:
Odo → Trip 1 → Trip 2 → OdoWhen approximately 2.0 L (0.53 US
gal, 0.44 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the bottom segment of the
fuel meter will start flashing, and the
display will automatically change to the
fuel reserve tripmeter mode “Trip F”
and start counting the distance trav-
eled from that point. In that case, push-
ing the “SELECT” button switches the
display between the various tripmeter
and odometer modes in the following
order:
Trip F → Trip 1 → Trip 2 → Odo → Trip
F
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button until “Trip” or
“Trip F” , push the “RESET” button for
at least one second. If you do not resetthe fuel reserve tripmeter manually, it
will reset itself automatically and the
display will return to the prior mode af-
ter refueling and traveling 5 km (3 mi).
TIPThe display cannot be changed back

button.Fuel meter
With the key in the “ON” position, the
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 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
changes in the weather and engine
load. If the top segment and coolant
temperature “C” “H” indicator flash,
stop the vehicle and let the engine

Do not operate the vehicle if you find any problem. If a problem cannot be corrected by the procedures provided in
this 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.3-14
Engine oil• Check oil level in engine.
• If necessary, add recommended oil to specified level.
• Check vehicle for oil leakage.6-13
Final transmission oil• Check vehicle for oil leakage. 6-15
Coolant• Check coolant level in reservoir.
• If necessary, add recommended coolant to specified level.
• Check cooling system for leakage.6-16
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.6-23, 6-24, 6-24

TIPEngine air filters and V-belt air filter
• This model’s engine air filters are equipped with disposable oil-coated paper elements, which must not be cleaned
with compressed air to avoid damaging them.
• The engine air filter elements need to be replaced and the V-belt air filter element needs to be serviced more fre-
quently when riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.21*Cooling system• Check coolant level and vehicle
for coolant leakage.√√√√√
• Change coolant. Every 3 years

5. Remove the final transmission oil
drain bolt and its gasket to drain
the oil from the final transmission
case.
6. Install the final transmission oil
drain bolt and its new gasket, and
then tighten the bolt to the speci-
fied torque.
7. Refill with the specified amount of
the recommended final transmis-
sion oil. WARNING! Make surethat no foreign material enters
the final transmission case.
Make sure that no oil gets on
the tire or wheel.
[EWA11312]
8. Install the final transmission oil fill-
er cap and its new O-ring, and
then tighten the oil filler cap.
9. Check the final transmission case
for oil leakage. If oil is leaking,
check for the cause.
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.
EAUM3043
To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on a level surfa-
ce and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
2. Open the front storage compart-
ment A. (See page 3-16.)TIPThe coolant level must be
checked on a cold engine since
the level varies with engine tem-
perature.
Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking
the coolant level. A slight tilt to the
side can result in a false reading.3. Check the coolant level through
the check window.

TIPThe coolant should be between the mi-
nimum and maximum level marks.4. If the coolant is at or below the mi-
nimum level mark, remove panel
B. (See page 6-8.)
5. Open the reservoir cap, and then
add coolant to the maximum level
mark. 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 watersince 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. Close the reservoir cap, and then
install the panel.7. Close the front storage compart-
ment.
EAU33032
Changing the coolant
The coolant must be changed at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic main-
tenance and lubrication chart. Have a
Yamaha dealer change the coolant.
WARNING! Never attempt to remove
the radiator cap when the engine is
hot.
