NOTICE
ECA21210
If the warning light comes on when
the engine is running, stop the en-
gine immediately and check oil level.
If the oil level is below the minimum
level, add sufficient oil of the recom-
mended type to raise it up to the cor-
rect level. If the oil pressure warning
light remains on even if the oil level
is correct, immediately turn the en-
gine off and have a Yamaha dealercheck the vehicle.TIPIf the warning light does not go off after
starting the engine, check the engine oil
level and add oil if necessary. (See
page 7-10.)
If the warning light remains on after
adding engine oil, have a Yamahadealer check the vehicle.
EAU74071
Cruise control indicator lights
“SET”/“ ”

See page 3-1 for a detailed explanation
of the function of these indicator lights.
The electrical circuit of these indicator
lights can be checked by turning the
key to “ON”. These indicator lights
should come on for a few seconds, and
then go off.
If an indicator light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ON”,
or if an indicator light remains on, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.
EAU11447
Coolant temperature warning light
“”
This warning light comes on if the en-
gine overheats. If this occurs, stop the
engine immediately and allow the en-
gine to 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
initially when the key is turned to “ON”,
or if the warning light remains on, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electricalcircuit.

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 higher
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 4-18 for an expla-
nation of the ABS.)WARNING
EWA16041
If the ABS warning light does not go
off after traveling at a speed of 10
km/h (6 mi/h) or higher, or if the
warning light comes on or flashes
while riding, the brake system re-
verts to conventional braking. If ei-
ther of the above occurs, or if the warning light does not come on at
all, use extra caution to avoid possi-
ble wheel lock during emergency
braking. Have a Yamaha dealer
check the brake system and electri-
cal circuits as soon as possible.
EAU74080

Immobilizer system indicator light
“”
When the key is turned to “OFF” and 30
seconds have passed, the indicator
light will flash steadily to indicate the im-
mobilizer system is enabled. After 24
hours have passed, the indicator light
will stop flashing, however the immobi-
lizer system is still enabled.
The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked by turning the key
to “ON”. The indicator light should
come on for a few seconds, and then
go off.
If the indicator light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ON”,
if the indicator light remains on, or if the
indicator light flashes in a pattern (if a
problem is detected in the immobilizer
system, the immobili zer system indica-
tor light will flash in a pattern), have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.TIPIf the immobilizer system indicator light
flashes in the pattern, slowly 5 times
then quickly 2 times, this could be
caused by transponder interference. If
this occurs, try the following.
1. Make sure there are no other im- mobilizer keys close to the main
switch. Other immobilizer system
keys may cause signal interfer-
ence and prevent the engine from
starting.
2. Use the code re-registering key to start the engine.
3. If the engine starts, turn it off, and try starting the engine with the
standard keys.
4. If one or both of the standard keys do not start the engine, take the
vehicle and all 3 keys to a Yamaha
dealer to have the standard keys
re-registered.
