Multi-function meter unit
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.
Traveling speed, distance traveled
and fuel consumption measure-
ments are displayed in kilometer-
based units.
For the UK: traveling speed, dis-
tance traveled and fuel consump-
tion measurements can be
displayed in mile-based units. To
switch between kilometers or
miles: hold the “SELECT” switch
pushed, turn the main switch to
“ON”, and keep the “SELECT”
switch pushed for an additional 8
seconds.

necessary to travel 100 km under
current riding conditions.
“MPG” is the distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel un-
der current riding conditions.
To switch between “km/L” and “L/100
km”, push the “INFO” button.
TIP
If traveling at speeds under 10 km/h

Average speed display
This display shows the average speed
since it was last reset. The average
speed is calculated as the total dis-
tance traveled divided by the total time

since the last set to zero.

been set to miles.

seconds.Warning message function
When a vehicle irregularity, road or ser-
vice condition has been detected, in
addition to any corresponding warning
lights or indicators, the following warn-
ing messages will display accordingly.
L FUEL (low fuel)
H TEMP (high coolant tempera-
ture)
L BATT (low battery voltage)
H BATT (high battery voltage)
ICE (possible icy road conditions)
OIL SERV (oil service required)
V-BELT SERV (V-belt service re-
quired)
Coolant temperature meter
This meter indicates the temperature
of the coolant, and thereby the engine.
The coolant temperature varies with
changes in the weather and engine
load. If the “H” segment and the cool-
ant temperature warning indicator start
flashing, stop the vehicle and let the
engine cool.
NOTICE

Do not continue to operate the en-
gine if it is overheating.

ating condition. Always follow the inspection and maintenance procedures and
schedules described in the Owner’s Manual.
WARNING
EWA11152
Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility
of an accident or equipment damage. Do not operate the vehicle if you find
any problem. If a problem cannot be corrected by the procedures provided
in this manual, have the vehicle inspected by a Yamaha dealer.
Before using this vehicle, check the following points:
ITEM CHECKS PAGE
Fuel• Check fuel level in fuel tank.
• Refuel if necessary.
• Check fuel line for leakage.3-17

Coolant
The coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the cool-
ant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAUM3045To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
2. Open the front storage compart-
ment A. (See page 3-20.)
TIP
The coolant level must be
checked on a cold engine since
the level varies with engine tem-
perature.
Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking
the coolant level. A slight tilt to the
side can result in a false reading.
3. Check the coolant level through
the check window.
TIP
The coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
4. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, remove pan-
el A. (See page 6-7.)
5. Open the reservoir cap, and then
add coolant to the maximum level
mark. WARNING! Remove only
the coolant reservoir cap. Never
attempt to remove the radiator
cap when the engine is hot.
[EWA15162] NOTICE: If coolant is not
available, use distilled water or
soft tap water instead. Do not
use hard water or salt water
since it is harmful to the engine.
If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with cool-
ant as soon as possible, other-
wise the cooling system will not
be protected against frost and
corrosion. If water has been
added to the coolant, have a
Yamaha dealer check the anti-
freeze content of the coolant as
soon as possible, otherwise the
effectiveness of the coolant will
be reduced.
