3 This timer shows the elapsed time
since the key was turned to “ON”. 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”
timer functions, but they cannot be set
to the information display pages. See
“Setting mode” on page 3-15 for more
information.
Air intake temperature:
This shows the temperature of the air
drawn into the air filter case. The dis-
play range is –9 °C to 93 °C in 1 °C in-
crements.
TIP

The displayed temperature may
vary from the actual ambient tem-
perature.
 The temperature reading may be
affected by engine heat when rid-
ing slowly (under 20 km/h [12
mi/h]) or when stopped at traffic
signals, etc.
Coolant temperature:
This shows the temperature of the
coolant. The coolant temperature will
vary with changes in the ambient tem-
perature and engine load.
If the message “Hi” flashes, stop the
vehicle, then stop the engine and let
the engine cool. (See page 6-41.)
TIP
The information display pages cannot
be rotated when the engine overheat
message “Hi” is flashing.
NOTICE
ECA10022
Do not continue to operate the en-
gine if it is overheatin g.
Average fuel consumption:
This function calculates the average
fuel consumption since it was last re-
set. The average fuel consumption can
be displayed as “km/L”, “L/100km” or
“MPG”.
 “km/L” shows the number of kilo-
meters traveled on one liter of fuel.
 “L/100km” shows how many liters
of fuel is needed to travel 100 km.

obstructions, cracks or damage, and check hose con-
nections. 3-29,
3-31
En gine oil • Check oil level in engine.
• If necessary, add recommended oil to specified level.
• Check vehicle for oil leakage. 6-10

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.
EAU20097To check the coolant level
Since the coolant level varies with en-
gine temperature, check when the en-
gine is cold.
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. With the vehicle in an upright posi- tion, look at the coolant level in the
reservoir. 3. 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]
4. Add coolant to the maximum level
mark. NOTICE: If coolant is not
availa ble, use distille d water 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]
5. Install the coolant reservoir cap.
EAU33032Chan gin g the coolant
The coolant must be changed at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart. Have a
Recommen ded coolant:
YAMALUBE coolant

Do not remove the rad iator cap when the engine an d ra diator are hot.
Scal din g hot flui d an d steam may b e blown out un der pressure, which
coul d cause serious injury. Be sure to wait until the en gine has coole d.
 Place a thick ra g, like a towel, over the rad iator cap, and then slowly ro-
tate the cap counterclockwise to the d etent to allow any residual pres-
sure to escape. When the hissin g soun d has stoppe d, press d own on the
cap while turnin g it counterclockwise, an d then remove the cap.
TIP
If coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided
that it is changed to the recommended coolant as soon as possible.
