3If 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 model is also equipped with a self-
diagnosis device for the fuel level de-
tection circuit. If a problem is detected
in the fuel level detection circuit, the
following cycle will be repeated until
the malfunction is corrected: The fuel
level warning light will flash eight times,
and then go off for 3.0 seconds. If this
occurs, have a Yamaha dealer check

This warning light comes on if the en-
gine overheats. If this occurs, reduce
the load on the engine immediately. If
message “HI” flashes in the coolant
temperature display, stop the vehicle,
then stop the engine and let the engine
cool. 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

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 fuel level warning light came
on)
 a stopwatch
 a clock
 a coolant temperature display
 an air intake temperature display
 a self-diagnosis device
 a display brightness and shift tim-
ing indicator light control modeTIPBe sure to turn the key to “ON” be-
fore using the “SELECT” and “RE-
SET” buttons, except for setting
the display brightness and shift
timing indicator light control
mode. 
For the UK only: To switch the
speedometer and odometer/trip-
meter displays between kilome-
ters and miles, press the
“SELECT” button for at least one
second.
Speed ometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle’s
traveling speed.

If the fuel level warning light comes on
(see page 3-4), the odometer display
will automatically change to the fuel re-
serve 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 various tripmeter, odome-
ter, and stopwatch modes in the fol-
lowing order:

Self-d iagnosis device
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 right display
will indicate an error code.
If the right 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
right display will indicate an error code.
TIPIf the right display indicates error code
52, this could be caused by transpon-
der interference. If this error code ap-
pears, 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
