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

chometer will sweep across the r/min
range and then return to zero r/min in
order to test the electrical circuit.
NOTICE
ECA10032
Do not operate the engine in the ta-
chometer red zone.Red zone: 11800 r/min and above
Clock
The clock uses a 12-hour time system.

engine load.
Air temperature
This display shows the air temperature
from –9  C to 50 C in 1 C increments.TIP
–9 C will be displayed even if the
air temperature falls below –9 C.

The temperature displayed may
vary from the actual ambient tem-perature. Eco indicator
This indicator comes on when the vehi-
cle is being operated in an environmen-
tally friendly, fuel-efficient manner. The
indicator goes off when the vehicle is
stopped.
TIPConsider the following tips to reduce
fuel consumption:
