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 6-11), 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.)

TIP
 The key must be turned to “ON”
before you can use the “SELECT”
and “RESET” buttons.
 For the UK: To switch the speed-
ometer and odometer/tripmeter
displays between kilometers and
miles, press the “SELECT” button
for one second.
Speed ometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle’s
traveling speed.
Tachometer
The electric tachometer allows the rid-
er to monitor the engine speed and
keep it within the ideal power range.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the ta-
chometer 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 en gine in the ta-
chometer red zone.
Re d zone: 11666 r/min an d a bove
Clock
The clock uses a 12-hour time system.
When the main switch is not in the
“ON” position, the clock can be viewed
for 10 seconds by pushing the “SE-
LECT” button.
To set the clock
1. Turn the key to “ON”.
2. Push the “SELECT” button and
“RESET” button together for two
seconds. The hour digits start
flashing.
3. Use the “RESET” button to set the hours.
4. Push the “SELECT” button, and the minute digits will start flashing.
5. Use the “RESET” button to set the minutes.

dometer 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 “SELECT”
button to display the tripmeter you
want to reset, and then push the “RE-
SET” button for one second.
TIP
 The odometer will lock at 999999
and cannot be reset.
 The tripmeters will reset and con-
tinue counting after 9999.9 is
reached.
Push the “SELECT” button to switch
the display between the odometer
mode “ODO” and the tripmeter modes
“TRIP A” and “TRIP B” in the following
order:
TRIP A → TRIP B → ODO → TRIP A
When the fuel amount in the fuel tank
decreases to 3.2 L (0.84 US gal,
0.70 Imp.gal), the left segment of the
fuel meter will start flashing, and the
odometer display will automatically
change to the fuel reserve tripmeter
mode “F-TRIP” and start counting the
distance traveled from that point. In
that case, push the “SELECT” button to switch the display between the vari-
ous tripmeter and odometer modes in
the following order:
F-TRIP
→ TRIP A → TRIP B → ODO →
F-TRIP
If you do not reset the fuel reserve trip-
meter manually, it will reset itself auto-
matically and the display will return to
the prior mode after refueling and trav-
eling 5 km (3 mi).
Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel meter disappear from
“F” (full) towards “E” (empty) as the fuel
level decreases. When the last seg-
ment on the left starts flashing, refuel
as soon as possible.
TIP
This fuel meter is equipped with a self-
diagnosis system. If a problem is de-
tected in the electrical circuit, the fuel
level segments and the symbol “ ”
will flash repeatedly. If this occurs,
have a Yamaha dealer check the elec-
trical circuit.

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 6-45.)
If the message “HI” flashes, and the
warning light is on, stop the engine and
let it cool. (See page 6-45.)
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.

EAU15952
Read the Owner’s Manual carefully to
become familiar with all controls. If
there is a control or function you do not
understand, ask your Yamaha dealer.
WARNING
EWA10272
Failure to familiarize yourself with
the controls can lead to loss of con-
trol, which coul d cause an acci dent
or injury.
EAU47152
TIP
This model is equipped with:  a lean angle sensor to stop the en-
gine in case of a turnover. In this
case, the display will indicate error
code 30, but this is not a malfunc-
tion. Turn the key to “OFF” and
then to “ON” to clear the error
code. Failing to do so will prevent
the engine from starting even
though the engine will crank when
pushing the start switch.
 an engine auto-stop system. The
engine stops automatically if left
idling for 20 minutes. In this case,
the display will indicate error code
70, but this is not a malfunction.
Push the start switch to clear the
error code and to restart the en-
gine.
