Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of fuel in
the fuel tank. The display segments of the fuel
meter disappear from “F” (full) towards “E”
(empty) as the fuel le vel decreases. When the

nosis system. If a problem is detected in an
electrical circuit, all the display segments and

this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer check the
