When approximately 2.4 L (0.63
US gal, 0.53 Imp.gal) of fuel re-
mains in the fuel tank, the last seg-
ment of the fuel meter will start
flashing. The display will automat-
ically change to the fuel reserve
tripmeter “F Trip” and start count-
ing the distance traveled from that
point.
Coolant temperature meter
The coolant temperature meter indi-
cates the temperature of the coolant.
If the top segment flashes, stop the ve-
hicle, then stop the engine, and let the
engine cool. (See page 7-37.)
NOTICE
ECA10022

gine if it is overheatin g.
TIP
z If a problem is detected in the
coolant temperature meter, all
segments will flash repeatedly. If
this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle as soon as pos-
sible.
z The coolant temperature varies
with changes in the weather and

Belt Trip” in the following order:
Odo → Trip → Trip Time → Oil Trip →
V-Belt Trip → Odo
TIP
When approximately 2.4 L (0.63 US

Oil chan
ge tripmeter “Oil Trip”
The oil change tripmeter shows the
distance traveled since the oil was last
changed.
The oil change indicator “OIL” flashes
at the initial 1000 km (600 mi), then at
4000 km (2400 mi) and every 5000 km
(3000 mi) thereafter to indicate that the
engine oil should be changed.
After changing the engine oil, reset the
oil change indicator and the oil change
tripmeter. To reset them both, select
the oil change tripmeter, and then push
the “TRIP” switch for three seconds.
While the oil change tripmeter is flash-
ing, push the “TRIP” switch for 15 to 20
seconds. Release the “TRIP” switch,
and the oil trip value will reset to zero.
TIP
If the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator comes on (i.e., be-
fore the periodic oil change interval has
been reached), the oil change tripmeter
must be reset for the oil change indica-
tor to come on at the correct time.
V- belt replacement tripmeter “V-
Belt Trip”
The V-belt replacement tripmeter
shows the distance traveled since the
V-belt was last replaced.
The V-belt replacement indicator “V-
Belt” will flash every 20000 km (12000
mi) to indicate that the V-belt should be
replaced.
After replacing the V-belt, reset the V-
belt replacement indicator and the V-
belt replacement tripmeter. To reset
them both, select the V-belt replace-
ment tripmeter, and then push the
“TRIP” switch for three seconds.
While the V-belt replacement tripmeter
is flashing, push the “TRIP” switch for
15 to 20 seconds. Release the “TRIP”
switch, and the V-belt trip value will re-
set to zero.
TIP
If the V-belt is replaced before the V-
belt replacement indicator comes on
(i.e., before the periodic V-belt replace-
ment interval has been reached), the V-
belt replacement tripmeter must be re-
set for the V-belt replacement indicator
to come on at the correct time.

age display, have a Yamaha deal-
er check the battery.

This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience
the pulsation at the brake levers
when the ABS is operating. How-
ever, special tools are required, so
please consult your Yamaha deal-
er.
NOTICE
ECA20100
Be careful not to damag e the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of the
ABS will result.
EAU78611
Traction control system
The traction control system (TCS)
helps maintain traction when acceler-
ating on slippery surfaces, such as un-
paved or wet roads. If sensors detect
that the rear wheel is starting to slip
(uncontrolled spinning), the traction
control system assists by regulating
engine power until traction is restored.
When traction control has engaged,
the “ ” indicator light will flash. You
may notice changes in engine re-
sponse or exhaust sound.
WARNING
EWA18860
The traction control system is not a
su bstitute for ri din g appropriately
for the con ditions. Traction control
cannot prevent loss of traction d ue
to excessive spee d when enterin g
turns, when acceleratin g har d at a
sharp lean an gle, or while b raking,
an d cannot prevent front wheel slip-
pin g. As with any vehicle, approach
surfaces that may be slippery with
caution an d avoi d especially slip-
pery surfaces.
