LCD tachometer The LCD tachometer allows the rider to
monitor the engine speed and keep it
within the ideal power range.
When the key is turned to “ON”, all of
the display segments of the LCD ta-
chometer will appear one after the oth-
er across the r/min range and then
disappear, in order to test the electrical
circuit.NOTE:The first segment of the tachometer will
flash while idling or riding until the cool-
ant temperature has reached 60 °C(140 °F), so this is not a malfunction.
CAUTION:
ECA10031
Do not operate the engine in the ta-
chometer red zone.Red zone: 14000 r/min and above

with the following:
a speedometer (which shows the
riding speed)
1. LCD tachometer
2. Tachometer red zone

two tachometers, one LCD and
one digital (which show engine
r/min)
an odometer (which shows the to-
tal distance traveled)
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 started flashing)
a clock
an air intake temperature display
a fuel meter
a coolant temperature meter
a self-diagnosis device
NOTE:
Be sure to turn the key to “ON” be-
fore using the “SELECT” and “RE-
SET” buttons.
For the U.K. only: To switch the
speedometer and odometer/trip-
meter displays between kilometers
and miles, press the “SELECT”button for at least two seconds.Odometer, tripmeter and digital ta-
chometer modes
Pushing the “SELECT” button switches
the display between the odometer
mode “ODO” and the tripmeter modes
“TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2” (“TRIP F”) and
the tachometer “E” in the following or-
der:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → (TRIP F)
→ E → ODO
When the fuel amount in the fuel tank
decreases to 3.6 L (0.95 US gal) (0.79
Imp.gal), the bottom segment of the
fuel meter will start flashing, and the
odometer display will automatically
change to the fuel reserve tripmeter
mode “TRIP F” and start counting the
distance traveled from that point. In that
case, pushing the “SELECT” button
switches the display between the vari-
ous tripmeter and odometer modes in
the following order:
TRIP F → E → ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP
2 → TRIP F
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button, and then
push the “RESET” button for at least
one second. If you do not reset the fuel
reserve tripmeter manually, it will resetitself automatically and the display will
return to the prior mode after refueling
and traveling 5 km (3 mi).
Clock
To switch the air intake temperature
display to the clock, first set the display
to the odometer or tachometer mode,
and then push the “RESET” button for
at least two seconds.
NOTE:The clock is automatically displayedwhen the key is turned to “OFF”.
To set the clock:1. Push the “SELECT” button and
“RESET” button together for at
least two seconds.
2. When the hour digits start flashing,
push the “RESET” button to set the
hours.
3. Push the “SELECT” button, and
the minute digits will start flashing.
4. Push the “RESET” button to set
the minutes.
5. Push the “SELECT” button and
then release it to start the clock.

3 Air intake temperature mode
The temperature displayed may vary
from the outside temperature depend-
ing on engine conditions. To switch the
clock to the air intake temperature
mode, first set the display to the odom-
eter or tachometer mode, and then
push the “RESET” button for at least
two seconds.
Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel meter disappear to-
wards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When only one segment is
left near “E”, refuel as soon as possible.
NOTE:This fuel meter is equipped with a self-
diagnosis system. If the electrical circuit
is defective, the display segments will
flash. If this occurs, have a Yamahadealer check the electrical circuit.
Coolant temperature meter
With the key in the “ON” position, the
coolant temperature meter indicates
the temperature of the coolant. Whenthe key is turned to “ON”, all of the dis-
play segments of the coolant tempera-
ture meter will appear one after the
other and then disappear in order to
test the electrical circuit. The coolant
temperature varies with changes in the
weather and engine load. If the top seg-
ment flashes, stop the vehicle and let
the engine cool. (See page 6-36.)
CAUTION:
ECA10020
Do not operate the engine if it isoverheated.
Self-diagnosis devices
This model is equipped with a self-diag-
nosis device for various electrical cir-
cuits.
If any of those circuits are defective, the
engine trouble warning light will come
on, and then the multi-function display
will indicate a two-digit error code (e.g.,
12, 13, 14).
This model is also equipped with a self-
diagnosis device for the immobilizer
system.If any of the immobilizer system circuits
are defective, the immobilizer system
indicator light will flash, and then the
multi-function display will indicate a
two-digit error code (e.g., 51, 52, 53).
NOTE:If the multi-function display indicates er-
ror code 52 (all segments of the coolant
temperature meter will come on, except
the top segment, which will flash), this
could be caused by transponder inter-
ference. If this error appears, try the fol-lowing.

start the engine.1. Error code display

NOTE:After the engine is started, the engine
oil level warning light should go off if theoil level is sufficient.CAUTION:
ECA10400
If the oil level warning light flickers
or remains on, immediately turn the
engine off and have a Yamaha dealercheck the vehicle.
10. Turn the engine off, and then
check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.
EAU20070
Coolant The coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the cool-
ant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAU34352
To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.NOTE:
The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level
varies with engine temperature.
Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking
the coolant level. A slight tilt to theside can result in a false reading.
2. Check the coolant level in the cool-
ant reservoir.
NOTE:The coolant should be between theminimum and maximum level marks.3. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, remove the
seat. (See page 3-13.)
4. Remove the fuel tank bolts, and
then lift the fuel tank away from the
coolant reservoir cap. (See page
6-11.)
5. Open the coolant reservoir cap.

66. Add coolant or distilled water to
raise the coolant to the specified
level, close the coolant reservoir
cap, and then place the fuel tank in
the original position and install the
bolts.
7. Install the seat.
CAUTION:
ECA10470
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 engine may not be
sufficiently cooled and the cool-
ing system will not be protected
against frost and corrosion.
If water has been added to the
coolant, have a Yamaha dealer
check the antifreeze content of
the coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise the effectiveness ofthe coolant will be reduced.WARNING
EWA10380
Never attempt to remove the radiatorcap when the engine is hot.NOTE:
The radiator fan is automatically
switched on or off according to the
coolant temperature in the radia-
tor.
If the engine overheats, see page6-36 for further instructions.
EAU33030
Changing the coolant
WARNING
EWA10380
Never attempt to remove the radiatorcap when the engine is hot.
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.
