WARNING
EWA12423
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
making any setting changes to the
multi-function meter unit. Changing
settings while riding can distract the
operator and increase the risk of an
accident.
The multi-function meter unit is
equipped with the following:
a speedometer
a tachometer
a fuel meter
a clock
an odometer and tripmeter display
a multi-function display
a coolant temperature meter
TIP
Be sure to turn the key to “ON” be-
fore using the “SELECT”, “RE-
SET”, “TRIP” and “INFO” buttons.When the key is turned to “ON”, all
display segments of the multi-
function meter unit will momen-
tarily appear in order to test the
electrical circuit. The speedome-
ter and odometer will then perform
a display check and a welcome
message will scroll across the
multi-function display.
For the UK, traveling speed, dis-
tance traveled, and fuel consump-
tion measurements can be
displayed in kilometer or mileage
based units. To switch between
miles and kilometers; hold the
“SELECT” switch pushed, turn the
main switch to “ON”, and keep the
“SELECT” switch pushed for an
additional 8 seconds.
For other countries, traveling
speed, distance traveled and fuel
consumption measurements are
displayed in kilometer base units.

3 Self-diagnosis 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.
Coolant temperature meter
With the key in the “ON” position, the
coolant temperature meter indicates
the temperature of the coolant. The
coolant temperature varies with
changes in the weather and engine
load. If the top segment and coolant
temperature warning indicator flash,
stop the vehicle and let the engine
cool.NOTICE
ECA10022
Do not continue to operate the en-
gine if it is overheating.

Rear brake lever
The rear brake lever is located on the
left side of the handlebar. To apply the
rear brake, pull this lever toward the
handlebar grip.
EAU54001
ABS (for ABS models)
The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con-
trol system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently.
Operate the brakes with ABS as you
would conventional brakes. If the ABS
is activated, a pulsating sensation may
be felt at the brake levers. In this situa-
tion, continue to apply the brakes and
let the ABS work; do not “pump” the
brakes as this will reduce braking ef-
fectiveness.
WARNING
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient distance
from the vehicle ahead to match the
riding speed even with ABS.
The ABS performs best with
long braking distances.
On certain surfaces, such as
rough or gravel roads, the brak-
ing distance may be longer with
the ABS than without.
The ABS is monitored by an ECU,
which will revert the system to conven-
tional braking if a malfunction occurs.
TIP
The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test each time the vehicle first
starts off after the key is turned to
“ON” and the vehicle has traveled
at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or
higher. During this test, a “click-
ing” noise can be heard from the
front of the vehicle, and if either
brake lever is even slightly ap-
plied, a vibration can be felt at the
lever, but these do not indicate a
malfunction.
