2018 YAMAHA YZF-R3 odometer

Instrument and control functions

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
6-40.)
NOTICE
ECA10022
Do not continue to operate the en-
g
ine if it is overheatin g.
TIP
The coolant temperature varies with
changes in the weather and engine
load.

two tripmeters
 a fuel reserve tripmeter
 an instantaneous fuel consump-
tion display
 an average fuel consumption dis-
play
 an oil change tripmeter
 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 se-
cond.
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

button to switch the display between
the various tripmeter, odometer, in-
stantaneous fuel consumption and av-
erage fuel consumption modes in the
following order:

To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SEL” button, and then push
the “RES” button for at least one se-
cond.
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).
TIP
 The odometer will lock at 999999.
 The tripmeters will reset and con-
tinue counting after 9999.9 is
reached.
Instantaneous fuel consumption
display
The instantaneous fuel consumption
display can be set to either “L/100 km”,
“km/L” or “MPG” (for the UK). 
“L/100 km”: The amount of fuel
necessary to travel 100 km under
the current riding conditions is
shown.
 “km/L”: The distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 L of fuel under the
current riding conditions is shown.
 “MPG” (for the UK): The distance
that can be traveled on 1.0 Imp.
gal of fuel under the current riding
conditions is shown.
To switch between the instantaneous
fuel consumption displays, push the
“SEL” button for one second.
TIP
If traveling at speeds under 20 km/h
(12 mi/h), “_ _._” is displayed.
Avera ge fuel consumption display
The average fuel consumption display
can be set to either “AVE_ _._ L/100
km”, “AVE_ _._ km/L” or “AVE_ _._
MPG” (for the UK).
This display shows the average fuel
consumption since it was last reset.  “AVE_ _._ L/100 km”: The average
amount of fuel necessary to travel
100 km is shown.
 “AVE_ _._ km/L”: The average dis-
tance that can be traveled on 1.0 L
of fuel is shown.
