This warning light comes on when the
engine is overheating. If this occurs,
stop the engine immediately and allow
the engine to cool. (See page 6-39.)
For vehicles with a radiator fan, the ra-
diator fan(s) automatically switch on or

Malfunction in dicator li ght
(MIL) “ ”
This light comes on or flashes if a prob-
lem is detected in the engine or other
vehicle control system. If this occurs,
have a Yamaha dealer check the on-
board diagnostic system. The electri-
cal circuit of the warning light can be
checked by turning the vehicle power
on. The light should come on for a few
seconds, and then go off. If the light
does not come on initially when the ve-
hicle power is turned on, or if the light
remains on, have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.NOTICE
ECA26820
If the MIL starts flashin g, re duce en-
g ine spee d to prevent exhaust sys-
tem damag e.TIPThe engine is sensitively monitored by
the on-board diagnostic system to de-
tect deterioration or malfunction of the
emission control system. Therefore the
MIL may come on or flash due to vehi-
cle modifications, lack of maintenance, or excessive/improper use of the mo-
torcycle. To prevent this, observe
these precautions.
 Do not attempt to modify the soft-
ware of the engine control unit.
 Do not add any electrical acces-
sories that interfere with engine
control.
 Do not use aftermarket accesso-
ries or parts such as suspension,
spark plugs, injectors, exhaust
system, etc.
 Do not change the drivetrain
specifications (chain, sprockets,
wheels, tires, etc.).
 Do not remove or alter the O2 sen-
sor, air induction system, or ex-
haust parts (catalysts or EXUP,
etc.).
 Maintain the drive chain properly.
 Maintain correct tire pressure.
 Maintain proper brake pedal
height to prevent rear brake from
dragging.
 Do not operate the vehicle in an
extreme manner. For example, re-
peated or excessive opening and

Multi-function
display
The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:  an odometer
 two tripmeters
 a fuel reserve tripmeter
 an instantaneous fuel consump-
tion display
 an average fuel consumption dis-
play
 a coolant temperature display
 an air temperature display
 a clock
 a brightness control mode
The odometer shows the total distance
the vehicle has traveled. The tripmeters show the distance trav-
eled since they were last reset.
TIP
The odometer will lock at 999999
and cannot be reset.
 The tripmeter will reset to 0 and
continue counting after 9999.9 is
reached.Push the bottom set button to switch
the display between odometer “ODO”,
tripmeters “TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2”, in-
stantaneous fuel consumption “km/L”
or “L/100 km”, average fuel consump-
tion “AVE_ _._ km/L” or “AVE_ _._
L/100 km”, coolant temperature “_ _
°C”, ambient temperature “Air_ _ °C”,
and clock “_ _:_ _” in the following or-
der:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → km/L or
L/100 km → AVE_ _._ km/L or AVE_ _._
L/100 km → _ _ °C → Air_ _ °C →
Clock _ _ :_ _ → ODO
For the UK:
Push the bottom set button to switch
the display between odometer “ODO”,
tripmeters “TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2”, in- stantaneous fuel consumption “km/L”,
“L/100 km” or “MPG”, average fuel
consumption “AVE_ _._ km/L”, “AVE_
_._ L/100 km” or “AVE_ _._ MPG”,
coolant temperature “_ _ °C”, and am-
bient temperature, and “Air_ _ °C”, and
clock “_ _:_ _” in the following order:
ODO
→ TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → km/L,
L/100 km or MPG → AVE_ _._ km/L,
AVE_ _._ L/100 km or AVE_ _._ MPG →
_ _ °C → Air_ _ °C → Clock _ _ :_ _ →

TIP Push the top set button to switch
the display in the reverse order.
 The fuel reserve tripmeter and er-
ror code displays come on auto-
matically, while the brightness
control mode is accessed sepa-
rately.If the lower segment and frame of the
fuel meter start flashing, the display
automatically changes to fuel reserve
tripmeter “TRIP F” and starts counting
the distance traveled from that point. In
this case, push the bottom set button

“AVE_ _._ MPG”: The average dis-
tance that can be traveled on
1.0 Imp.gal of fuel.
To switch the average fuel consump-
tion display settings, push the bottom
set button for two seconds.
To reset the average fuel consumption,
push the top set button for one se-
cond.
TIPAfter resetting the average fuel con-
sumption, “_ _._” will be shown until
the vehicle has traveled 1 km (0.6 mi).Coolant temperature This display shows the coolant tem-
perature from 40 °C to 116 °C in 1 °C
increments.
If the message “HI” flashes, stop the
vehicle, then stop the engine and let
the it cool. (See page 6-39.)
TIP
When the coolant temperature is
below 40 °C, “Lo” will be dis-
played.
 The coolant temperature varies
with changes in the weather and
engine load.Air temperature This display shows the air temperature
from –9 °C to 99 °C in 1 °C increments.
The temperature displayed may vary
from the actual ambient temperature.
TIP
When the air temperature is below
–9 °C, “Lo” will be displayed.
 The accuracy of the temperature
reading may be affected when rid-
ing slowly (under 20 km/h [12.5
mi/h]) or when stopped at traffic
signals, railroad crossings, etc.Clock
