3 The distance that can be traveled with
the remaining fuel in the fuel tank under
the current riding conditions is shown.
Elapsed time display:The time that has elapsed since the key
was turned to “ON” is shown. The
maximum time that can be shown is
99:59.
This timer automatically resets when
the key is turned to “OFF”.
TIP
There are also “TIME–2” and “TIME–3”
elapsed time displays, but they cannot
be set to the information display. See
“Setting mode” on page 3-15 for de-
tailed information.
Ambient temperature display:
This display shows the ambient tem-
perature from –9 °C to 50 °C in 1 °C in-
crements. The temperature displayed
may vary from the ambient tempera-
ture.
TIP

–9 °C will be displayed even if the
ambient temperature falls below
–9 °C.
 50 °C will be displayed even if the
ambient temperature climbs
above 50 °C. 
The accuracy of the temperature
reading may be affected when rid-
ing under 20 km/h (12 mi/h) or
when stopped at traffic signals
and railroad crossings.
Coolant temperature display:
The coolant temperature display indi-
cates the temperature of the coolant.
The coolant temperature varies with
changes in the weather and engine
load.
If the message “Hi” flashes, stop the
vehicle, then stop the engine and let
the engine cool. (See page 6-38.)
TIP
The selected information display can-
not be switched while the message
“Hi” is flashing.

Coolant
The coolant level should be checked
regularly. In addition, the coolant must
be changed at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance chart.
TIP
If 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.
EAU54164To check the coolant level
1. Wait for the engine to cool. The coolant level will vary with engine
temperature.
2. Place the vehicle on the center- stand.
3. Remove the left cowling vent pan- el. (See page 3-37.)
4. Look at the coolant reservoir. 5. If the coolant is at or below the mi-
nimum level mark, remove the
coolant reservoir cap. WARNING!
Remove only the coolant reser-
voir cap. Never attempt to re-
move the ra diator cap when the
en gine is hot.
[EWA15162]
6. Add coolant or distilled water to
raise the coolant to the maximum
level mark, and install the coolant
reservoir cap. NOTICE: If coolant
is not availab le, use distille d wa-
ter or soft tap water instea d. Do
not use har d water or salt water
since it is harmful to the en gine.
If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with cool-
ant as soon as possi ble, other-
wise the coolin g system will not
b e protecte d a gainst frost an d
corrosion. If water has b een
a dde d to the coolant, have a
Yamaha dealer check the anti-
freeze content of the coolant as
soon as possi ble, otherwise the
effectiveness of the coolant will
b e red uced.
[ECA10473]
7. Install the panel.
Recommen ded coolant:
YAMALUBE coolant
Coolant quantity: Coolant reservoir (max level mark):0.25 L (0.26 US qt, 0.22 Imp.qt)

WARNING
EWAT1041
Do not remove the ra diator cap when the en gine an d ra diator are hot.
Scal din g hot flui d an d steam may b e blown out un der pressure, which
coul d cause serious injury. Be sure to wait until the eng ine has cooled.
 Place a thick ra g, like a towel, over the ra diator cap, an d then slowly ro-
tate the cap counterclockwise to the detent to allow any resi dual pres-
sure to escape. When the hissin g soun d has stopped , press down on the
cap while turnin g it counterclockwise, an d then remove the cap.
TIP
If coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided
that it is changed to the recommended coolant as soon as possible.
W ait until the engine
has cooled.
Check the coolant
le vel in the reser voir
and radiator.Add coolant.
(See TIP.)
The coolant le vel is
OK.
There is no leakage.

Check the cooling
system for leakage.
Ha ve a Yamaha
dealer check and
repair the cooling
system.
Start the engine. If the engine o verheats again,
ha ve a Yamaha dealer check and repair the cooling
system.
