3 Selecting the information display
There are 3 information displays. The
selected information display can be
switched by pushing the select switch.
The following items are shown in the
information displays:
 an odometer display
 tripmeter displays
 a fuel reserve tripmeter display
 an estimated traveling range dis-
play
 an elapsed time display
 an ambient temperature display
 a coolant temperature display
 an average fuel consumption dis-
play
 an instantaneous fuel consump-
tion display
The items shown in each information
display can be selected.
To set or select the items shown, see
page 3-17.
Odometer display:
The odometer shows the total distance
traveled by the vehicle.
Tripmeter displays:
“TRIP-1” and “TRIP-2” show the dis-
tance traveled since they were last set
to zero.
TIP
 The odometer will lock at 999999.
 The tripmeters will reset and con-
tinue counting after 9999.9 is
reached.
When approximately 5.5 L (1.45 US
gal, 1.21 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the last segment of the fuel
meter starts flashing. In addition, the
information display will automatically
change to the fuel reserve tripmeter
mode “TRIP-F” and start counting the
distance traveled from that point.

In this case, push the select switch to
switch the display in the following or-
der:
TRIP-F
→ Display–1 → Display–2 →
Display–3 → TRIP-F
To reset a tripmeter, use the select
switch to select the information display
that contains the tripmeter you want to
reset. Push the “RESET” button briefly
so that the tripmeter flashes, and then
push the “RESET” button again for 2
seconds while the tripmeter is flashing.
If you do not reset the fuel reserve trip-
meter manually, it will reset automati-
cally after refueling and traveling 5 km
(3 mi).
Estimated traveling range display:
The distance that can be traveled with
the remaining fuel in the fuel tank under
the current riding conditions is shown.
Elapsed time display:
The time that has elapsed since the key
was turned to “ON” is shown. The
maximum time that can be shown is
99:59.
This timer automatically resets when
the key is turned to “OFF”.
TIP
There are also “TIME–2” and “TIME–3”
elapsed time displays, but they cannot
be set to the information display. See
“Setting mode” on page 3-17 for de-
tailed information.
Ambient temperature display:
This display shows the ambient tem-
perature from –9 °C to 50 °C in 1 °C in-
crements. The temperature displayed
may vary from the ambient tempera-
ture.
TIP
 –9 °C will be displayed even if the
ambient temperature falls below
–9 °C.
 50 °C will be displayed even if the
ambient temperature climbs
above 50 °C.
 The accuracy of the temperature
reading may be affected when rid-
ing under 20 km/h (12 mi/h) or
when stopped at traffic signals
and railroad crossings.
Coolant temperature display:
The coolant temperature display indi-
cates the temperature of the coolant.
The coolant temperature varies with
changes in the weather and engine
load.

Coolant
The coolant level should be checked
regularly. In addition, the coolant must
be changed at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance chart.
TIP
If genuine Yamaha coolant is not avail-
able, use an ethylene glycol antifreeze
containing corrosion inhibitors for alu-
minum engines and mix with distilled
water at a 1:1 ratio.
EAU54164To check the coolant level
1. Wait for the engine to cool. The coolant level will vary with engine
temperature.
2. Place the vehicle on the center- stand.
3. Remove the left cowling vent pan- el. (See page 3-40.)
4. Look at the coolant reservoir. 5. If the coolant is at or below the mi-
nimum level mark, remove the
coolant reservoir cap. WARNING!
Remove only the coolant reser-
voir cap. Never attempt to re-
move the ra diator cap when the
en gine is hot.
[EWA15162]
6. Add coolant or distilled water to
raise the coolant to the maximum
level mark, and install the coolant
reservoir cap. NOTICE: If coolant
is not availab le, use distille d wa-
ter or soft tap water instea d. Do
not use har d water or salt water
since it is harmful to the en gine.
If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with cool-
ant as soon as possi ble, other-
wise the coolin g system will not
b e protecte d a gainst frost an d
corrosion. If water has b een
a dde d to the coolant, have a
Yamaha dealer check the anti-
freeze content of the coolant as
soon as possi ble, otherwise the
effectiveness of the coolant will
b e red uced.
[ECA10473]
7. Install the panel.
Recommen ded coolant:
YAMALUBE coolant
Coolant quantity: Coolant reservoir (max level mark):0.25 L (0.26 US qt, 0.22 Imp.qt)
