Immo bilizer system
This vehicle is equipped with an immo-
bilizer system to help prevent theft by
re-registering codes in the standard
keys. This system consists of the fol-
lowing:
 a code re-registering key (with a
red bow)
 two standard keys (with a black
bow) that can be re-registered
with new codes
 a transponder (which is installed in
the code re-registering key)
 an immobilizer unit
 an ECU
 an immobilizer system indicator
light (See page 3-6.)
The key with the red bow is used to
register codes in each standard key.
Since re-registering is a difficult pro-
cess, take the vehicle along with all
three keys to a Yamaha dealer to have
them re-registered. Do not use the key
with the red bow for driving. It should
only be used for re-registering the
standard keys. Always use a standard
key for driving.
NOTICE
ECA11822
 DO NOT LOSE THE CODE RE-
REGISTERING KEY! CONTACT
YOUR DEALER IMMEDIATELY
IF IT IS LOST! If the co de re-reg -
isterin g key is lost, reg istering
new co des in the stan dar d keys
is impossi ble. The stan dar d
keys can still be used to start
the vehicle, however if co de re-
re gisterin g is require d (i.e., if a
new stan dar d key is ma de or all
keys are lost) the entire immob i-
lizer system must be replaced .
Therefore, it is hi ghly recom-
mend ed to use either stan dar d
key an d keep the co de re-re gis-
tering key in a safe place.
 Do not su bmerse any key in wa-
ter.
 Do not expose any key to exces-
sively hig h temperatures.
 Do not place any key close to
ma gnets (this includ es, but not
limite d to, pro ducts such as
speakers, etc.).
 Do n

ot place items that transmit
electrical si gnals close to any
key.
 Do not place heavy items on any
key.
 Do not g rind any key or alter its
shape.
 Do not d isassemble the plastic
part of any key.
 Do not put two keys of any im-
mo bilizer system on the same
key rin g.

In dicator li ghts and warning
li g hts
EAU11022Turn si gnal in dicator li ght “ ”
This indicator light flashes when a turn
signal light is flashing.
EAU11061Neutral in dicator li ght “ ”
This indicator light comes on when the
transmission is in the neutral position.
EAU11081Hi gh beam in dicator li ght “ ”
This indicator light comes on when the
high beam of the headlight is switched
on.
EAU11256Oil level warnin g li ght “ ”
This warning light comes on if the en-
gine oil level is low. 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 after
confirming that the oil level is correct
(see page 6-9), have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.
TIP

Even if the oil level is sufficient, the
warning light may flicker when rid-
ing on a slope or during sudden
acceleration or deceleration, but
this is not a malfunction.
 This model is equipped with a self-
diagnosis device for the oil level
detection circuit. If a problem is
detected in the oil level detection
circuit, the oil level warning light
will flash repeatedly. If this occurs,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle.
EAU72930Coolant temperature warnin g
li g ht “ ”
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.

function.
EAU38626Immo bilizer system in dicator li ght
When the key is turned to “OFF” and
30 seconds have passed, the indicator
light will start flashing indicating 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”,
or if the indicator light remains on, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.
The self-diagnosis device also detects
problems in the immobilizer system
circuits. (See page 3-9 for an explana-
tion of the self-diagnosis device.)

Coolant temperature
display
The coolant temperature display indi-
cates the temperature of the coolant
from 40 °C to 134 °C in 1 °C incre-
ments.
If the coolant temperature is 117 °C–
134 °C, the coolant temperature dis-
play flashes and the coolant tempera-
ture warning light comes on. If this
occurs, reduce the load on the engine
by riding at a moderate pace, at low
rpm, until the coolant temperature
goes down. If the temperature does
not go down, stop the engine. (See
page 6-46.)
If the message “HI” flashes, and the
warning light is on, stop the engine and
let it cool. (See page 6-46.)
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.
NOTICE
ECA10022
Do not continue to operate the en-
gine if it is overheatin g.
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 display will
indicate an error code.
If the 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
display will indicate an error code.
TIP
If the display indicates error code 52,
this could be caused by transponder
interference. If this error code appears,
try the following.
1. Use the code re-registering key to start the engine.

TIP
Make 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.
