3 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.
NOTICE

Do not continue to operate the en-
g
ine if it is overheatin g.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 page
6-43 for further instructions.

Engine trou ble warnin g lig ht “ ”
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 3-12 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.

If the ABS warning light: 
does not come on when the key is
turned to “ON”
 comes on or flashes while riding
 does not go off after traveling at a
speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or high-
er
The ABS may not work correctly. If any
of the above occurs, have a Yamaha
dealer check the system as soon as
possible. (See page 3-15 for an expla-
nation of the ABS.)

3 Multi-function
display
The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:  odometer
 two tripmeters
 fuel reserve tripmeter
 instantaneous fuel consumption
 average fuel consumption
 coolant temperature
 air temperature
 self-diagnosis mode
 brightness control mode
Navi gatin g the multi-function dis-
play
Push the left set button to change the
display between the odometer “ODO”,
tripmeters “TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2”, in- stantaneous fuel consumption “km/L”
or “L/100 km”, average fuel consump-
tion “AVE_ _._ km/L” or “AVE_ _._
L/100 km”, coolant temperature “_ _
°C”, and air temperature “Air_ _ °C” in
the following order:
ODO
→ TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → km/L or
L/100 km → AVE_ _._ km/L or AVE_ _._
L/100 km → _ _ °C → Air_ _ °C → ODO
For the UK:
Push the left set button to change the
display between the odometer “ODO”,
tripmeters “TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2”, in-
stantaneous fuel consumption “km/L”,
“L/100 km” or “MPG”, average fuel
consumption “AVE_ _._ km/L”, “AVE_
_._ L/100 km” or “AVE_ _._ MPG”,
coolant temperature “_ _ °C”, and air
temperature “Air_ _ °C” in the following
order:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → km/L,
L/100 km or MPG → AVE_ _._ km/L,
AVE_ _._ L/100 km or AVE_ _._ MPG →
_ _ °C → Air_ _ °C → ODO
TIP Push the right set button to chan-
ge the display in the reverse order.
 The fuel reserve tripmeter and the
self-diagnosis mode come on au-
tomatically, while the brightness
control mode is accessed sepa-
rately.Odometer an d tripmeters
The odometer shows the total distance
traveled by the vehicle.
The tripmeters show the distance trav-
eled since they were last reset.
To reset a tripmeter, use the left set
button to display the tripmeter you
want to reset, and then push the right
set button for one second.TIP The odometer will lock at 999999
and cannot be reset.
 The tripmeters will lock at 9999.9
but can be manually reset.

3 This function calculates the average
fuel consumption since it was last re-
set.
The average fuel consumption can be
set to either “AVE_ _._ km/L”, “AVE_
_._ L/100 km” or “AVE_ _._ MPG” (for
the UK).
 “AVE_ _._ km/L”: The average dis-
tance that can be traveled on 1.0 L
of fuel is shown.
 “AVE_ _._ L/100 km”: The average
amount of fuel necessary to travel
100 km is shown.
 “AVE_ _._ MPG” (for the UK): The
average distance that can be trav-
eled on 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel is
shown.
To switch the average fuel consump-
tion settings, push the left set button
for one second.
To reset the average fuel consumption,
push the right set button for at least
one second.
TIPAfter resetting the average fuel con-
sumption, “_ _._” will be shown until
the vehicle has traveled 1 km (0.6 mi).
Coolant temperature
This shows the coolant temperature
from 40 °C to 116 °C in 1 °C incre-
ments.
If the message “HI” flashes, stop the
vehicle, then stop the engine, and let it
cool. (See page 6-43.)TIP When the coolant temperature is
below 40 °C, “LO” will be dis-
played.
 The coolant temperature varies
with changes in the weather and
engine load.
Air temperature
This shows the air temperature from
–9 °C to 99 °C in 1 °C increments.
The temperature displayed may vary
from the ambient temperature.TIP When the temperature is below
–9 °C, “LO” will be displayed.
 The accuracy of the temperature
reading may be affected by engine
heat when riding slowly (under 20
km/h [12 mi/h]) or when stopped
at traffic signals, etc.
