rect level. If the oil pressure warning
light remains on even if the oil level
is correct, immediately turn the en-
gine off and have a Yamaha dealercheck the vehicle.TIPIf the warning light does not go off after

The tachometer allows the rider to
monitor the engine speed and keep it
within the ideal power range.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the ta-
chometer will sweep across the r/min
range and then return to zero r/min in
order to test the electrical circuit.
NOTICE
ECA10032
Do not operate the engine in the ta-
chometer red zone.Red zone: 11800 r/min and above
Clock
The clock uses a 12-hour time system.
To set the clock
