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 6-37.)
For vehicles with a radiator fan, the ra-
diator fan(s) automatically switch on or
off according to the coolant tempera-
ture.TIPWhen the vehicle is turned on, the light
will come on for a few seconds, and
then go off. If the light does not come
on, or if the light remains on, have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.NOTICE

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

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

This indicator comes on when the
quick shifter is turned on.

Multi-function display The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:
 an odometer (ODO)
 two tripmeters (TRIP 1 and TRIP 2)
 a fuel reserve tripmeter (TRIP F)
 an instantaneous fuel consump-
tion display (km/L, L/100 km, or
MPG)
 an average fuel consumption dis-
play (AVE_ _._ km/L, AVE_ _._
L/100 km, or AVE_ _ _._ MPG)
 a coolant temperature display (_ _
°C)
 an air temperature display (Air_ _
°C)
Use the “SEL” switch to change the
display in the following order:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → TRIP F →
km/L or L/100 km or MPG → AVE_ _._
km/L or AVE_ _._ L/100 km or AVE_ _._
MPG → _ _ °C → Air_ _ °C → ODO
TIP The fuel reserve tripmeter appears
only when you are low on fuel.
 Use the “RES” switch to change
the display in the reverse order.
EAU86890
Odometer
The odometer shows the total distance
traveled by the vehicle.TIPThe odometer will lock at 999999 and
cannot be reset.
EAU89142
Tripmeters
The tripmeters show the distance trav-
eled since they were last reset.
To reset a tripmeter, change the dis-
play to the tripmeter you want to reset,
and then hold the “RES” switch until it
is reset.TIPThe tripmeters will reset and continue
counting after 9999.9 is reached.
EAU89152
Fuel reserve tripmeter
If the last segment of the fuel meter
starts flashing, the display automati-
cally changes to the fuel reserve trip-
meter “TRIP F” and starts counting the
distance traveled from that point.

 After resetting, “- -.-” is shown un-
til the vehicle has traveled some

Coolant temperature display
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 it
cool. (See page 6-37.)
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 display
This display shows the air temperature
from –9 °C to 50 °C in 1 °C increments.
The temperature displayed may vary
from the actual ambient temperature.

NOTICE
ECA20860
If the oil pressure warning light flick-
ers or remains on even if the oil level
is correct, immediately turn the en-
gine off and have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.14. Turn the engine off, wait a fewminutes for the oil level to settle for
an accurate reading, and then
check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.
15. Install the cowlings.

Why YamalubeYAMALUBE oil is a Genuine YAMAHA Part born of the engineers’ passion
and belief that engine oil is an impor-
tant liquid engine component. We form
teams of specialists in the fields of me-
chanical engineering, chemistry, elec-
tronics 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 addi-
tives 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 expe-
rience gained over many years of re-
search and development 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 distilled
water 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.Recommended coolant: YAMALUBE coolant
Coolant quantity: Coolant reservoir (max level mark):0.25 L (0.26 US qt, 0.22 Imp.qt)
Radiator (including all routes): 1.60 L (1.69 US qt, 1.41 Imp.qt)
