lock. EBU34932Shift light
This light can be set to come on and go off at
the desired engine speeds and is used to in-
form the driver when it is time to upshift.
The electrical circuit of the shift light can be
checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). If the
light does not come on initially when the key
is turned to “ ” (on), or if the light remains
on, have a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.TIPSee page 5-13 for an explanation of how to
set the shift light.
EBU35283Coolant temperature warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on when the coolant
temperature, and therefore the engine, is out-
side its normal operating temperature range.
The warning light comes on in blue to inform
the driver that the vehicle should be warmed
up. After the engine is started, warm it up until
the warning light goes off.
The vehicle can be operated normally when
the warning light is off.
The warning light comes on in red when the
engine is overheating. If the red light comes
on, stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so and allow the engine to idle for about 10
minutes. If the warning light does not go off,
stop the engine and allow it to cool. (See page
9-69.)TIPIf you continue to drive the vehicle while the
engine is overheating, a buzzer will sound.

The coolant temperature warning light can
be checked by turning the key to “ ” (on).
The warning light should come on in purple
briefly (which confirms that both the blue
and red indicators are okay) and then go
off. If the warning light does not come on at
all, comes on in red or blue, or if the warning
light remains on, have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle. NOTICEECB02040The engine may overheat if the vehicle is
overloaded. If this happens, reduce the
load to specification.
 After restarting, make sure that the
warning light is out. Continuous use
while this warning light is on may cause
damage to the engine.
EBU31341Engine trouble warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on or flashes if a
problem is detected in the electrical circuit
monitoring the engine. When this occurs, the
display will indicate an error code (see page
5-15). Have a Yamaha dealer check the self-
diagnosis system.
The electrical circuit of the warning light can
be checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). If
the warning light does not come on initially
when the key is turned to “ ” (on), or if the
warning light remains on, have a Yamaha
dealer check the vehicle.EBU33041Electric Power Steering warning light

Clock, hour meter, voltage display and
coolant temperature display
The clock displays time in 12-hour format.
The hour meter shows the total time the en-
gine has been running.
The voltage display shows the battery volt-
age.
The coolant temperature display shows the
temperature of the coolant.Push the “MODE” button to switch between
the clock “CLOCK”, the hour meter “HOUR”,
the voltage display “VOLTAGE”, and the
coolant temperature display in the following
order:
CLOCK
→ HOUR → VOLTAGE → coolant
temperature → CLOCK
To set the clock
1. Set the display to the clock.
2. Push both the “SELECT” button and “RESET” button until the hour digits start
flashing.
3. Push the “RESET” button to set the
hours.

Voltage displayThis display shows “ ” and the battery volt-
age.
When the battery voltage is low, “LO” will be
displayed. When the battery voltage is high,
“HI” will be displayed.
NOTICEECB02050If the voltage display indicates “LO” or
“HI”, there may be trouble with the battery
charging circuit or the battery may be
faulty. If this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer
check or repair the vehicle. Coolant temperature displayWhen the coolant temperature is in the nor-
mal operating range, the temperature will be
displayed. When the coolant temperature is

temperature rises, the coolant temperature
display will begin to flash. If the coolant tem-
perature continues to rise, the message “HI”
will flash.TIPThe coolant temperature display can be set
to “°C” or “°F”. To switch the temperature
units, turn the key to “ ” (off), then hold
the “RESET” button pushed and turn the
key to “ ” (on).
 The radiator fans turn on and off automati-
cally according to the coolant temperature.
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the amount of fuel in
the fuel tank. The display segments of the fuel
gauge disappear from “F” (full) towards “E”
(empty) as the fuel level decreases. When the
last segment on the left flashes, refuel as
soon as possible.1. Fuel gauge

Avoid prolonged operation above 6300 r/min.
After break-in:
The vehicle may now be operated normally.EBU35342Starting the engine1. Turn the key to “ ” (on).NOTICEECB02291The coolant temperature warning light and
engine trouble warning light should come
on, then go off.
The EPS warning light should come on,
then go off when the engine is started.
To avoid possible damage, do not operate
the vehicle if a warning light does not work
as described above. 2. Press the brake pedal.
3. Shift the transmission into neutral.
When the transmission is in the neutral
position, the transmission gear display
shows “N” and the neutral indicator
light should come on.
 The engine can be started in any gear if
the clutch pedal is applied. However, it
is recommended to shift into neutral
before starting the engine.
4. With your foot off the accelerator pedal, start the engine by turning the key to “ ”
(start).
If the engine fails to start, release the key, and
then try starting it again. Wait a few seconds
before the next attempt. Each attempt should
be as short as possible, to preserve battery
energy. NOTICE: Do not crank the engine
more than 5 seconds on each attempt, or
starter damage could occur. Wait at least
5 seconds between each operation of the
electric starter to let it cool.
[ECB02140]
Do not turn the key to the “ ” (start) position
with the engine running; otherwise, damage
to the electric starter may result.
