3 The fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank.
When the key is turned to “ ”, the dis-
play segments of the fuel meter will
sweep once across the fuel level range
and then return to the current amount
in order to test the electrical circuit.
The display segments of the fuel meter
disappear from “F” (full) towards “E”
(empty) as the fuel level decreases.
When the last segment starts flashing,
refuel as soon as possible.
TIP
If a problem is detected in the fuel me-
ter electrical circuit, the fuel meter will
flash repeatedly.
Coolant temperature meter
The coolant temperature meter indi-
cates the temperature of the coolant.
When the key is turned to “ ”, the dis-
play segments of the digital coolant
temperature meter will sweep once
across the temperature range and then
return to “C” in order to test the electri-
cal circuit.
If the last segment on the right flashes,
stop the vehicle, then stop the engine,
and let the engine cool. (See page

z a fuel reserve tripmeter
z an instantaneous fuel consump-
tion display
z an average fuel consumption dis-
play
z an oil change tripmeter
z an oil change indicator
The odometer shows the total distance
traveled by the vehicle.
The tripmeters show the distance trav-
eled since they were last reset.
The fuel reserve tripmeter shows the
distance traveled since the fuel level
warning light came on.
For Europe:
Push the “SEL” button to switch the
display between the odometer mode
“ODO”, tripmeter modes “TRIP 1” and
“TRIP 2”, instantaneous fuel consump-
tion mode “L/100 km” or “km/L”, aver-
age fuel consumption mode “AVE_ _._
L/100 km” or “AVE_ _._ km/L” and oil
change tripmeter mode “OIL TRIP” in
the following order:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → L/100 km
or km/L → AVE_ _._ L/100 km or AVE_
_._ km/L → OIL TRIP → ODO
If the left segment of the fuel meter
starts flashing, the display automati-
cally changes to the fuel reserve trip-
meter mode “TRIP F” and starts
counting the distance traveled from
that point. In that case, push the “SEL”
button to switch the display between
the various tripmeter, odometer, in- stantaneous fuel consumption and av-
erage fuel consumption modes in the
following order:
TRIP F
→ L/100 km or km/L → AVE_
_._ L/100 km or AVE_ _._ km/L → OIL
TRIP → ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 →
TRIP F
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SEL” button, and then push
the “RES” button for at least one sec-
ond.
If you do not reset the fuel reserve trip-
meter manually, it resets itself auto-
matically and the display returns to the
prior mode after refueling and traveling
5 km (3 mi).
For the UK:
Push the “SEL” button to switch the
display between the odometer mode
“ODO”, tripmeter modes “TRIP 1” and
“TRIP 2”, instantaneous fuel consump-
tion mode “MPG”, “L/100 km” or
“km/L”, average fuel consumption
mode “AVE_ _._ MPG”, “AVE_ _._
L/100 km” or “AVE_ _._ km/L” and oil
change tripmeter mode “OIL TRIP” in
the following order:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → MPG,
L/100 km or km/L → AVE_ _._ MPG,
AVE_ _._ L/100 km or AVE_ _._ km/L →
OIL TRIP → ODO
If the left segment of the fuel meter
starts flashing, the display automati-
cally changes to the fuel reserve trip-
meter mode “TRIP F” and starts
counting the distance traveled from

“AVE_ _._ MPG” (for the UK): The
average distance that can be trav-
eled on 1.0 Imp. gal of fuel is
shown.
To switch between the average fuel
consumption displays, push the “SEL”
button for one second.
To reset the average fuel consumption
display, push the “RES” button for at
least one second.
TIP
After resetting the average fuel con-
sumption display, “_ _._” is shown until
the vehicle has traveled 1 km (0.6 mi).
Oil chan ge tripmeter
The oil change tripmeter shows the
distance traveled since it was last reset
(i.e., since the last oil change).
The oil change indicator “OIL” will flash
at the initial 1000 km (600 mi), then at
5000 km (3000 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 tripmeter and the oil change
indicator. To reset them both, select
the oil change tripmeter, and then push
the “RES” button for one second.
Then, while “OIL” and the oil change tripmeter are flashing, push the “RES”
button for three seconds. The oil
change indicator will be reset.
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 next periodic oil
change to be indicated at the correct
time.

EAU63040
ABS
The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con-
trol system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently.
Operate the brakes with ABS as you
would conventional brakes. If the ABS
is activated, a pulsating sensation may
be felt at the brake lever or brake ped-
al. In this situation, continue to apply
the brakes and let the ABS work; do
not “pump” the brakes as this will re-
duce braking effectiveness.
WARNING
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient d istance
from the vehicle ahead to match the
ri din g speed even with ABS.
z The ABS performs b est with
lon g b rakin g d istances.
z On certain surfaces, such as
rou gh or g ravel roa ds, the b rak-
in g d istance may be lon ger with
the ABS than without.
The ABS is monitored by an ECU,
which will revert the system to conven-
tional braking if a malfunction occurs.
TIP
z The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test each time the vehicle first
starts off after the key is turned to
“ON” and the vehicle has traveled
at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or
higher. During this test, a “click-
ing” noise can be heard from the
hydraulic control unit, and if the
brake lever or brake pedal is even
slightly applied, a vibration can be
felt at the lever and pedal, but
these do not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
