second after the multifunction information
center is activated. When the meter switches
to the analog tachometer function, the
“RPM” indicator light comes on.
Analog speedometer
The analog speedometer shows the water-
craft speed against water.
The small inner numbers on the meter show
the watercraft speed in kilometers per hour
“km/h” and the large outer numbers show the
speed in miles per hour “mph”.
The “SPEED” indicator light comes on when
the analog speedometer is selected.
To switch to the speedometer from the ta-
chometer:
Push the “SPEED/RPM” button for at least 1
second after the multifunction information
center is activated. When the meter switches

TIP:
The accuracy of the fuel level meter varies
depending on the operating conditions. Use
this function as a reference only.
EJU42342Fuel level warning
If the fuel remaining in the fuel tank drops to
about 18 L (4.8 US gal, 4.0 Imp.gal), the low-
est two fuel level segments, the fuel indicator,
and the “WARNING” indicator light blink, and
the buzzer sounds intermittently.
If the fuel level warning is activated, refill the
fuel tank as soon as possible. (See page 59
for information on filling the fuel tank.)
After the fuel tank is refilled, the warning sig-
nals will be cleared when the engine is re-
started.
TIP:
Push any of the operation buttons for the
multifunction information center to stop the
buzzer.
EJU42271Oil pressure warning
If the oil pressure drops significantly, the oil
pressure warning indicator and the “WARN-
ING” indicator light blink, and the buzzer
sounds intermittently. At the same time, the
engine speed is limited.
If the oil pressure warning is activated, imme-
diately reduce the engine speed, return to
shore, and then check the engine oil level.
(See page 61 for information on checking the
engine oil level.) If the oil level is sufficient,
have a Yamaha dealer check the watercraft.
TIP:
Push any of the operation buttons for the
multifunction information center to stop the
buzzer.
EJU42371Engine overheat warning
If the engine temperature rises significantly,
the engine overheat warning indicator and
the “WARNING” indicator light blink, and the
buzzer sounds intermittently. Then, the en-

ously. At the same time, the engine speed is
limited.
If the engine overheat warning is activated,
immediately reduce the engine speed, return
to shore, and then make sure that water is
being discharged from the port (left) cooling
water pilot outlet while the engine is running.
If there is no discharge of water, stop the en-
gine, and then check the jet intake for clog-
ging. (See page 103 for information on the jet
intake.) NOTICE: If you cannot locate and
correct the cause of the overheating, con-
sult a Yamaha dealer. Continuing to oper-
ate at higher speeds could result in severe
engine damage.

proximately 125 m (410 ft) after the throttle le-
ver is released or the engine is stopped,
although this distance will vary depending on
many factors, including gross weight, water
surface conditions, and wind direction.
If the RiDE lever is squeezed to slow down,
the stopping distance is approximately 30%
shorter than when the RiDE lever is not used.
However, this distance will vary depending
on many factors, including gross weight, wa-
ter surface conditions, and wind direction.
WARNING
EWJ01791
Allow adequate stopping distance.
Take early action to avoid collisions. Re-
member, watercraft and other boats do
not have brakes.
Operate defensively at safe speeds and
keep a safe distance away from people,
objects, and other watercraft to give you
time to stop.
Do not shut the engine off when slowing
down in case you need engine power to
steer away from a boat or other obstacle
that comes into your path.
To avoid rear-end collisions while oper-
ating the watercraft, check behind you
before using the RiDE lever to slow
down or stop the watercraft.
EJU43442Operating the watercraft in reverse or
neutral
Operating in reverse
When the RiDE lever is squeezed, the “R” (re-
verse) shift indicator will be displayed in the
multifunction display and the watercraft will
move in reverse. (See page 31 for shift sys-
tem operation procedures.)
Make sure that there are no obstacles or peo-
ple behind you before shifting into reverse.
TIP:
This model is equipped with a function which
limits the engine speed in reverse.
Operating in neutral
When the RiDE lever is squeezed lightly and
released, the “N” (neutral) shift indicator will
be displayed in the multifunction display and
the watercraft will stop in its current location.
