The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:


a fuel meter

a coolant temperature meter

an odometer

two tripmeters (which show the
distance traveled since they were
last set to zero)

a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled since
the bottom segment of the fuel
meter and fuel level warning indi-
cator started flashing)

a self-diagnosis device

a clock

an ambient temperature display

an oil change indicator

a V-belt replacement indicator
TIP


Be sure to turn the key to “ON” be-
fore using the “SELECT” and
“RESET” buttons.

When the key is turned to “ON”, all
of the display segments of the
multi-function display will appear
one after the other and then disap-
pear, in order to test the electrical
circuit.
Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the “SELECT” button switches
the display between the odometer
mode “Odo” and the tripmeter modes
“Trip” in the following order:
Odo
→
Trip (top)
→
Trip (bottom)
→
Odo
When approximately 2.8 L (0.74 US gal,
0.62 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the fuel
tank, the bottom segment of the fuel
meter and fuel level warning indicator
will start flashing, and the display willautomatically change to the fuel reserve
tripmeter mode “Trip F” and start count-
ing the distance traveled from that point.
In that case, pushing the “SELECT” but-
ton switches the display between the
various tripmeter and odometer modes
in the following order:
Trip F
→
Trip (top)
→
Trip (bottom)
→
Odo
→
Trip F
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button until “Trip” or
“Trip F” begins flashing (“Trip” or “Trip
F” will only flash for five seconds).
While “Trip” or “Trip F” is flashing, push
the “RESET” button for at least one
second. If you do not reset the fuel re-
serve tripmeter manually, it will reset it-

1. V-belt replacement indicator “V-BELT”

self automatically and the display will
return to the prior mode after refueling
and traveling 5 km (3 mi).
TIP

The display cannot be changed back to
“Trip F” after pushing the “RESET” but-
ton.
Fuel meter
With the key in the “ON” position, the
fuel meter indicates the amount of fuel
in the fuel tank. The display segments
of the fuel meter disappear towards “E”
(Empty) as the fuel level decreases.
When the fuel level reaches the bottom
segment near “E”, the fuel level warn-
ing indicator and the bottom segment
will flash. Refuel as soon as possible.
Coolant temperature meter
With the key in the “ON” position, the
coolant temperature meter indicates
the temperature of the coolant. The
coolant temperature varies with chang-
es in the weather and engine load. If
the top segment and coolant tempera-
ture warning indicator flash, stop the
vehicle and let the engine cool. (Seepage 6-37.)
NOTICE

ECA10021
Do not continue to operate the en-
gine if it is overheating.
Oil change indicator “OIL”
This indicator flashes at the initial
1000 km (600 mi), then at 5000 km
(3000 mi) and every 5000 km
(3000 mi) thereafter to indicate that the
engine oil should be changed.
After changing the engine oil, reset the
oil change indicator. (See page 6-12.)
If the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator comes on (i.e. be-
fore the periodic oil change interval has
been reached), the indicator must bereset after the oil change for the next
periodic oil change to be indicated at
the correct time. (See page 6-12.)
The electrical circuit of the indicator can
be checked according to the following
procedure.
1. Set the engine stop switch to “”
and turn the key to “ON”.
2. Check that the indicator comes on
for a few seconds and then goes
off.
3. If the indicator does not come on,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.
TIP

The oil change indicator may flash
when the engine is revved with the
scooter on the centerstand, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.
V-belt replacement indicator
“V-BELT”
This indicator flashes every 20000 km
(12500 mi) when the V-belt needs to be
replaced.
The electrical circuit of the indicator can
be checked according to the following
procedure.

OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS
EAU15951
Read the Owner’s Manual carefully to
become familiar with all controls. If
there is a control or function you do not
understand, ask your Yamaha dealer.
WARNING

EWA10271
Failure to familiarize yourself with
the controls can lead to loss of con-
trol, which could cause an accident
or injury.
EAU48020
TIP

This model is equipped with a lean an-
gle sensor to stop the engine in case of
a turnover. In this case, the multi-func-
tion display indicates error code 30, but
this is not a malfunction. Turn the key to
“OFF” and then to “ON” to clear the er-
ror code. Failing to do so will prevent
the engine from starting even though
the engine will crank when pushing the
start switch.
EAU36515
Starting the engine
NOTICE

ECA10250
See page 5-4 for engine break-in in-
structions prior to operating the ve-
hicle for the first time.
In order for the ignition circuit cut-off
system to enable starting, the side-
stand must be up.
See page 3-22 for more information.
1. Turn the key to “ON” and make
sure that the engine stop switch is
set to “”.
The following warning lights, indi-
cator light and indicators should
come on for a few seconds, then
go off.

Engine trouble warning light

ABS warning light (for ABS mod-
els)

Immobilizer system indicator light

V-belt replacement indicator

Oil change indicator

Engine air filters and V-belt air filter
•This model’s engine air filters are equipped with disposable oil-coated paper elements, which must not be cleaned
with compressed air to avoid damaging them.
•The engine air filter elements need to be replaced and the V-belt air filter element needs to be serviced more frequent-
ly when riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.

Hydraulic brake service
•Regularly check and, if necessary, correct the brake fluid level.
•Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers, and change the brake
fluid.
•Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

TIP

The coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
5. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, open the
coolant reservoir cap, add coolant
to the maximum level mark, and
then close the coolant reservoir
cap.
WARNING! Remove only
the coolant reservoir cap. Never
attempt to remove the radiator
cap when the engine is
hot.
[EWA15161]

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 willbe reduced.
[ECA10472]

6. Install the coolant reservoir cover
by installing the screw.
7. Place the right floorboard mat in
the original position.
EAU34206
Air filter elements and check
hoses and V-belt case air filter
element
The air filter elements and the V-belt
case air filter element should be ser-
viced at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart. Service all air filter elements
more frequently if you are riding in un-
usually wet or dusty areas.
Replacing the air filter elements
1. Place the scooter on the center-
stand.
TIP

Continue as follows for each air filter el-
ement.
2. Remove the air filter case cover by
removing the rubber caps and
screws.
1. Minimum level mark
2. Maximum level mark
3. Coolant reservoir cap
Coolant reservoir capacity (up to the
maximum level mark):
