identification number, the entire smart
key system will need to be replaced.
TIP
The identification number can also be
found on the inside of the smart key it-
self.
NOTICE
ECA21573
The smart key has precision elec-
tronic components. Observe the fol-
lowing precautions to prevent
possible malfunction or damage.
Do not place or store the smart
key in a storage compartment.
The smart key may be damaged
from road vibrations or exces-
sive heat.
Do not drop, bend, or subject
the smart key to strong impacts.
Do not submerge the smart key
in water or other liquids.
Do not place heavy items or ex-
cessive stress on the smart key.
Do not leave the smart key in a
place exposed to direct sun-
light, high temperature or high
humidity.
Do not grind or attempt to mod- ify the smart key.
Keep the smart key away from
strong magnetic fields and mag-
netic objects such as key hold-
ers, TVs, and computers.
Keep the smart key away from
electric medical equipment.
Do not allow oils, polishing
agents, fuel, or any strong
chemicals to come in contact
with the smart key. The smart
key body may become discol-
ored or cracked.
TIP
The smart key battery life is ap-
proximately two years, but this
may vary according to operating
conditions.
The smart key battery may be-
come discharged even if it is away
from the vehicle and not being
used.
If the smart key continually re-
ceives radio waves, the smart key
battery will discharge quickly. (For
example, when placed in the vicin-
ity of electrical products such as
televisions, radios, or computers.)
Replace the smart key battery when
the smart key system indicator light
flashes for about 20 seconds when the
power of the vehicle is turned on or
when the smart key indicator light does
not come on when the “ON/OFF”
switch is pushed. (See page 3-6.) After
changing the smart key battery, if the
smart key system still does not operate,
have a Yamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle.

Tachometer
The electric tachometer allows the rider
to monitor the engine speed and keep it
within the ideal power range.
When the vehicle power is turned on,
the tachometer 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

The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:a fuel meter
a coolant temperature meter
an odometer
two tripmeters
a fuel reserve tripmeter
a self-diagnosis device
a clock
an ambient temperature display
a fuel consumption display
an oil change tripmeter
a V-belt replacement tripmeter
TIP
Be sure to turn the vehicle power
on before using the “SELECT” and
“RESET” buttons.
When the vehicle power is turned
on, all of the display segments of
the multi-function display will ap-
pear one after the other and then
disappear, in order to test the elec-
trical circuits. Clock
The clock uses a 24-hour time system.
The clock displays when the key is
turned to “ON”.

1. Push the “SELECT” and “RESET”
buttons together for at least two
seconds.
2. When the hour digits start flashing, push the “RESET” button to set the
hours.
3. Push the “SELECT” button, and the minute digits will start flashing.

14 The odometer shows the total distance
traveled by the vehicle.
The tripmeters show the distance trav-
eled since they were last reset.
The fuel reserve tripmeter shows the
distance traveled since the fuel level
warning indicator came on.
The oil change tripmeter shows the dis-
tance traveled since the last engine oil
change.
The V-belt replacement tripmeter
shows the distance traveled since the
last V-belt replacement.
TIP
The odometer will lock at 999999.
The tripmeters will reset and con-
tinue counting after 9999.9 is
reached.
Pushing the “SELECT” button switches the display between the odometer
mode and the tripmeter modes in the
following order:
Odo
 Trip 1  Trip 2  V-Belt Trip 
Oil Trip  Odo
When approximately 3.0 L (0.79 US
gal, 0.66 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the display will automatically
change to the fuel reserve tripmeter
mode “Trip F” and start counting the
distance traveled from that point. In that
case, pushing the “SELECT” button
switches the display between the vari-
ous tripmeter and odometer modes in
the following order:
Odo  Trip 1  Trip 2  Trip F 
V-Belt Trip  Oil Trip  Odo
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button until “Trip F”,
“Trip 1” or “Trip 2” is displayed. While
“Trip F”, “Trip 1” or “Trip 2” is displayed,
push the “SELECT” button for at least
one second. If you do not reset the fuel
reserve tripmeter manually, it will reset
itself automatically and the display will
return to the prior mode after refueling
and traveling 5 km (3 mi).
TIP
The display cannot be switched to “Trip
F” after the fuel reserve tripmeter has

Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel meter disappear to-
wards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When the fuel level reaches
the bottom segment near “E”, the fuel
level warning indicator, “F”, “E”, and the
bottom segment will flash. Refuel as
soon as possible.
Coolant temperature meter
The coolant temperature meter indi-
cates the temperature of the coolant.
The coolant temperature varies with
changes in the weather and engine
load. If the top segment, “H”, “C”, and
coolant temperature warning indicator
flash, stop the vehicle and let the en-
gine cool. (See page 7-37.)NOTICE
ECA10022
Do not continue to operate the en-
gine if it is overheating.
Oil change indicator “Oil”
This indicator flashes at the initial 1000
km (600 mi), then at 5000 km (3000 mi)
and every 5000 km (3000 mi) thereafter
to indicate that the engine oil should be
changed.
After changing the engine oil, reset the
oil change indicator. To reset the oil
change indicator, select it by pushing
the “SELECT” button until “Oil Trip” is
displayed, and then push the “SE-
LECT” button at least one second.
When pushing the “SELECT” button,
“Oil Trip” starts flashing. While “Oil Trip”
is flashing, push the “SELECT” button
again for at least three seconds.
If the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator “Oil” flashes (i.e.
before the periodic oil change interval
has been reached), the indicator “Oil”
must be reset after the oil change for
the next periodic oil change to be indi-
cated at the correct time.
The electrical circuit of the indicator can
be checked according to the following
procedure.
