To start the timer, press the dimmer/
pass switch down towards “PASS”.
Each press of the dimmer/pass switch
will increase the lap count by 1 and re-
set the current lap timer.
To pause the lap timer, press the wheel
switch inward.
To unpause the timer, press the dim-
mer/pass switch down towards “PASS”
and the timer will resume without count-
ing a new lap.
To exit the lap time mode, turn it off in
the settings MENU. (See page 4-16.)
TIP
The engine must be running to start the lap timer.

The headlight will flash when the
dimmer/pass switch is pressed.

Whenever the lap timer is paused,
it can be resumed using the dim-mer/pass switch.
Brake control icon “BC”
This icon is replaced by the auxiliary
system warning and coolant tempera-
ture warning indicators when they are
activated.
For more information on the BC system
see “BC” on page 3-6.
Error mode warning “Err”
When an internal error occurs (e.g.,
communication with a system controller
has been cut off), the error mode warn-
ing will appear as follows.
“Err” and “ ” indicator light indicates
an ECU error.
“Err” only indicates an ABS ECU error.
TIPDepending on the nature of the error,
the display may not function properly
and the traction control system settings
may be impossible to change. Addition- ally, ABS may not function properly.
Use extra care when braking and have
a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle im-
mediately.
Auxiliary system warning “ ”
This icon appears if a problem is de-
tected in a non-engine-related system.
Coolant temperature warning “ ”
This icon appears if the coolant temper-
ature reaches 116 
C (241 F) or high-
er. Stop the vehicle and turn off the
engine. Allow the engine to cool.NOTICE
ECA10022
Do not continue to operate the en-gine if it is overheating.
Oil pressure warning “ ”
This icon appears when the engine oil
pressure is low. When the vehicle is
first turned on, engine oil pressure has
yet to build, so this icon will come on
and stay on until the engine has been
started.

Starting the engineThe ignition circuit cut-off system will
enable starting when:
the transmission is in the neutral
position or

the transmission is in gear, the sid-
estand is up, and the clutch lever is
pulled.
To start the engine
1. Turn the main switch on and set the engine stop switch to the run
position.
2. Confirm the indicator and warning light(s) come on for a few seconds,
and then go off. (See page 4-5.)TIP
Do not start the engine if the mal-
function indicator light remains on.

The oil pressure and coolant tem-
perature warning light should
come on and stay on until the en-
gine is started.

The ABS warning light should
come on and stay on until the vehi-
cle reaches a speed of 5 km/h (3mi/h).
NOTICE
ECA24110
If a warning or indicator light does
not work as described above, have aYamaha dealer check the vehicle.
3. Shift the transmission into the neu- tral position.
4. Start the engine by pushing the start switch.
5. Release the start switch when the engine starts, or after 5 seconds.
Wait 10 seconds before pressing
the switch again to allow battery
voltage to restore.TIPIf the engine fails to start, try again with
the throttle grip turned by a 1/4 turn (20degrees) open.

Why YamalubeYAMALUBE oil is a Genuine YAMAHA
Part born of the engineers’ passion and
belief that engine oil is an important liq-
uid engine component. We form teams
of specialists in the fields of mechanical
engineering, chemistry, electronics and
track testing, and have them develop
the engine together with the oil it will
use. Yamalube oils take full advantage
of the base oil’s qualities and blend in
the ideal balance of additives to make
sure the final oil clears our performance
standards. Thus, Yamalube mineral,
semisynthetic and synthetic oils have
their own distinct characters and value.
Yamaha’s experience gained over
many years of research and develop-
ment into oil since the 1960’s helps
make Yamalube the best choice for
your Yamaha engine.
EAUS1203
CoolantThe coolant level should be checked
regularly. In addition, the coolant must
be changed at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance chart.TIPIf genuine Yamaha coolant is not avail-
able, use an ethylene glycol antifreeze
containing corrosion inhibitors for alu-
minum engines and mix with distilledwater at a 1:1 ratio.
EAU20097
To 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
1. Engine oil filler cap
2. O-ring

Recommended coolant:YAMALUBE coolant
Coolant quantity: Coolant reservoir (max level mark):0.28 L (0.30 US qt, 0.25 Imp.qt)

reservoir.
3. If the coolant is at or below the minimum level mark, remove the
coolant reservoir cap. WARNING!
Remove only the coolant reser-
voir cap. Never attempt to re-
move the radiator cap when the
engine is hot.
[EWA15162]
4. Add coolant to the maximum level mark. NOTICE: If coolant is not
available, use distilled water or
soft tap water instead. Do not
use hard water or salt water
since it is harmful to the engine.
If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with cool-
ant as soon as possible, other-
wise the cooling system will not
be protected against frost and
corrosion. If water has been
added to the coolant, have a
Yamaha dealer check the anti-
freeze content of the coolant as
soon as possible, otherwise the
effectiveness of the coolant will be reduced.
[ECA10473]
5. Install the coolant reservoir cap.
EAU33032
Changing the coolant
The coolant must be changed at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart. Have a
Yamaha dealer change the coolant.
WARNING! Never attempt to remove
the radiator cap when the engine is
hot.

Engine overheating
WARNING
EWAT1041

Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may be
blown out under pressure, which could cause serious injury. Be sure to wait until the engine has cooled.

Place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radiator cap, and then slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the de-
tent to allow any residual pressure to escape. When the hissing sound has stopped, press down on the capwhile turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.
TIPIf coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily us ed instead, provided that it is changed to the recommended coolantas soon as possible.
Wait until the
engine has cooled.
Check the coolant level in the
reservoir and radiator.
The coolant level
is OK.The coolant level is low.
Check the cooling system
for leakage.
Have a Yamaha dealer checkand repair the cooling system.Add coolant. (See TIP.)
Start the engine. If the engine overheats again,
have a
Yamaha dealer check
and repair the cooling system.
