Each indicator light will flash when its
corresponding turn signal lights are
flashing.

Neutral indicator light “ ”
This indicator light comes on when the
transmission is in the neutral position.
EAU11081
High beam indicator light “ ”
This indicator light comes on when the
high beam of the headlight is switched
on.
EAU59962
Oil pressure warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on if the en-
gine oil pressure is low.
The electrical circuit of the warning
light can be checked by turning the key
to “ON”. The warning light should
come on again after going off briefly,
and then remain on until the engine is
started.
If the warning light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ON”,
have a Yamaha dealer check the elec-
trical circuit.NOTICE
ECA21210
If the warning light comes on when
the engine is running, stop the en-
gine immediately and check oil level.If the oil level is below the minimum
level, add sufficient oil of the recom-
mended t y p e t o r a i s e i t u p t o t h e c o r -
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 dealer
check the vehicle.
TIPIf the warning light does not go off after
starting the engine, check the engine
oil level and add oil if necessary. (See
page 6-9.)
If the warning light remains on after
adding engine oil, have a Yamaha
dealer check the vehicle.

Immobilizer system indicator
light “ ”
When the key is turned to “OFF” and
30 seconds have passed, the indicator
light will flash steadily to indicate the
immobilizer system is enabled. After 24
hours have passed, the indicator light
will stop flashing, however the immobi-
lizer system is still enabled.
The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked by turning the key
to “ON”. The indicator light should
come on for a few seconds, and then
go off.
If the indicator light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ON”,
or if the indicator light remains on, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.
The self-diagnosis function also de-
tects problems in the immobilizer sys-
tem circuits.
If a problem is detected in the immobi-
lizer system, the immobilizer system in-
dicator light will flash in a pattern to
indicate an error code.
TIPIf the immobilizer system indicator light
flashes in the pattern, slowly 5 times
and then quickly 2 times, this could be
caused by transponder interference. If
this occurs, try the following. 1. Make sure there are no other im-
mobilizer keys close to the main
switch. Other immobilizer system
keys may cause signal interfer-
ence and prevent the engine from
starting.
2. Use the code re-registering key to
start the engine.
3. If the engine starts, turn it off, and
try starting the engine with the
standard keys.
4. If one or both of the standard keys
do not start the engine, take the
vehicle, the code re-registering
key and both standard keys to a
Yamaha dealer and have the stan-
dard keys re-registered.

accident.The multi-function meter unit is
equipped with the following:
a speedometer
a tachometer
a fuel meter
an eco indicator
a transmission gear display
a multi-function displayTIPExcept when switching to the
brightness control mode or to dis-
play the clock, turn the key to
“ON” before using the bottom and
top set buttons.
For the UK : To switch the speed-
ometer and multi-function display
