z
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
Do not continue to operate the en-
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
engine load.
Tripmeter display
The tripmeter display is equipped with
the following: z odometer
z tripmeter
z time tripmeter
z fuel reserve tripmeter
z oil change tripmeter
z V-belt replacement tripmeter
Push the “TRIP” switch to change the
display between the odometer “Odo”,
tripmeter “Trip”, time tripmeter “Trip
Time”, oil change tripmeter “Oil Trip”,
and V-belt replacement tripmeter “V-
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
gal, 0.53 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the last segment of the fuel
meter will start flashing. The display
will automatically change to the fuel re-
serve tripmeter “F Trip” and start
counting the distance traveled from
that point.

dometer “O do” an d tripmeter
“Trip”
The odometer shows the total distance
traveled by the vehicle.
The tripmeter shows the distance trav-
eled since it was last reset.
To reset the tripmeter, select it by
pushing the “TRIP” switch, and then
push the “TRIP” switch for three sec-
onds.
TIP
z The odometer will lock at 999999.
z The tripmeter will reset and conti-
nue counting after 9999.9 is
reached.
Time tripmeter “Time”
The time tripmeter displays the time
that has elapsed while the main switch
was in the “ON” position since it was
last reset.
The maximum time that can be shown
is 99:59.
TIP
To reset the time tripmeter, select it by
pushing the “TRIP” switch, and then
push the “TRIP” switch for three sec-
onds.
Fuel reserve tripmeter “F Trip”
When approximately 2.4 L (0.63 US
gal, 0.53 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the last segment of the fuel
meter will start flashing. The display
will automatically change to the fuel re-
serve tripmeter “F Trip” and start
counting the distance traveled from
that point. In this case, push the “TRIP”
switch to switch the display in the fol-
lowing order:
F Trip → Oil Trip → V-Belt Trip → Odo
→ Trip → Trip Time → F Trip
To reset the fuel reserve tripmeter, se-
lect it by pushing the “TRIP” switch,
and then push the “TRIP” switch for
three seconds.
The fuel reserve tripmeter will reset au-
tomatically and disappear after refuel-
ing and traveling 5 km (3 mi).

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.

TIP
If traveling at speeds under 10 km/h (6
mi/h), “_ _._” is displayed.
Avera ge speed d isplay
The average speed “Average_ _ _kmh”
or “Average_ _ _MPH” (for the UK) is
displayed.
The average speed is the total distance
divided by the total time (with the main
switch in the “ON” position) since the
display was last reset to zero.
This display shows the average speed
since it was last reset.
To reset the average speed display,
select it by pushing the “INFO” switch,
and then push the “INFO” switch for
three seconds.
Warnin g messa ge function
This function displays a warning mes-
sage corresponding to the current
warning.
“L FUEL”: Appears when the last seg-
ment of the fuel meter starts flashing. If
“L FUEL” is displayed, refuel as soon
as possible. “H TEMP”: Appears when the top seg-
ment of the coolant temperature meter
starts flashing. If “H TEMP” is dis-
played, stop the vehicle, then stop the
engine, and let the engine cool.
“ICE”: Appears when the icy road
warning indicator “ ” starts flashing. If
“ICE” is displayed, be careful of icy
roads.
“OIL SERV”: Appears when the oil
change indicator “OIL” starts flashing.
If “OIL SERV” is displayed, change the
engine oil, and then reset the oil chan-
ge indicator and oil change tripmeter.
“V-BELT SERV”: Appears when the V-
belt replacement indicator “V-Belt”
starts flashing. If “V-BELT SERV” is
displayed, replace the V-belt, and then
reset the V-belt replacement indicator
and V-belt replacement tripmeter.
When there are two or more warnings,
the warning messages are displayed in
the following order:
L FUEL
→ H TEMP → ICE → OIL SERV
→ VBELT SERV → L FUEL
