Tachometer
The electric tachometer allows the rid-
er to monitor the engine speed and
keep it within the ideal power range.
When the vehicle power is turned on,
the tachometer needle will sweep once
across the r/min range and then return
to zero r/min in order to test the electri-
cal circuit.
NOTICE
ECA10032
Do not operate the engine in the ta-
chometer red zone.
Red zone: 8200 r/min and above

Multi-function display
WARNING
EWA12423
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
making any setting changes to the
multi-function meter unit. Changing
settings while riding can distract the
operator and increase the risk of an
accident.
The “TRIP/INFO” switch is located on
the right side of the handlebar. This
switch allows you to control or change
the settings of the multi-function meter
unit. To use the “TRIP” switch, move
the “TRIP/INFO” switch in direction (a).
To use the “INFO” switch, move the
“TRIP/INFO” switch in direction (b).

US gal, 0.53 Imp.gal) of fuel re-
mains in the fuel tank, the last seg-
ment of the fuel meter will start
flashing. The display will automat-
ically change to the fuel reserve
tripmeter “F Trip” and start count-
ing the distance traveled from that
point.
Coolant temperature meter
The coolant temperature meter indi-
cates the temperature of the coolant.
If the top segment flashes, stop the ve-
hicle, then stop the engine, and let the
engine cool. (See page 7-37.)
NOTICE
ECA10022
Do not continue to operate the en-
gine if it is overheating.
TIP
If a problem is detected in the
coolant temperature meter, all
segments will flash repeatedly. If
this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle as soon as pos-
sible.
The coolant temperature varies
with changes in the weather and
engine load.
Tripmeter display
The tripmeter display is equipped with
the following:
odometer
tripmeter
time tripmeter
fuel reserve tripmeter
oil change tripmeter
V-belt replacement tripmeter
Push the “TRIP” switch to change the
display between the odometer “Odo”,
tripmeter “Trip”, time tripmeter “Trip
Time”, oil change tripmeter “Oil Trip”,
and V-belt replacement tripmeter “V-
Belt Trip” in the following order:
Odo → Trip → Trip Time → Oil Trip →
V-Belt Trip → Odo
TIP
When approximately 2.4 L (0.63 US
gal, 0.53 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the last segment of the fuel
meter will start flashing. The display
will automatically change to the fuel re-

counting the distance traveled from
that point.

mi/h), “_ _._” is displayed.
Average speed display
The average speed “Average_ _ _kmh”
or “Average_ _ _MPH” (for the UK) is
displayed.
The average speed is the total distance
divided by the total time (with the main
switch in the “ON” position) since the
display was last reset to zero.
This display shows the average speed
since it was last reset.
To reset the average speed display,
select it by pushing the “INFO” switch,
and then push the “INFO” switch for
three seconds.
Warning message function

warning.
“L FUEL”: Appears when the last seg-
ment of the fuel meter starts flashing. If
“L FUEL” is displayed, refuel as soon
as possible.“H TEMP”: Appears when the top seg-
ment of the coolant temperature meter
starts flashing. If “H TEMP” is dis-
played, stop the vehicle, then stop the
engine, and let the engine cool.
“ICE”: Appears when the icy road
warning indicator “ ” starts flashing. If
“ICE” is displayed, be careful of icy
roads.
“OIL SERV”: Appears when the oil
change indicator “OIL” starts flashing.
If “OIL SERV” is displayed, change the
engine oil, and then reset the oil
change indicator and oil change trip-
meter.
“V-BELT SERV”: Appears when the V-
belt replacement indicator “V-Belt”
starts flashing. If “V-BELT SERV” is
displayed, replace the V-belt, and then
reset the V-belt replacement indicator
and V-belt replacement tripmeter.
When there are two or more warnings,
the warning messages are displayed in
the following order:
L FUEL → H TEMP → ICE → OIL SERV
→ VBELT SERV → L FUEL
