TachometerTachometerThe electric tachometer allows the
rider to monitor the engine speed and
keep it within the ideal power range.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the
tachometer needle will move to the
10,000 r/min and back to zero r/min
in order to test the electrical circuit.

Fuel gaugeFuel gaugeThe fuel gauge indicates the amount
of fuel in the fuel tank. The needle
moves towards “E” (Empty) as the
fuel level decreases. When the nee-
dle reaches “E”, approximately 2 L of
fuel remain in the fuel tank. If this
occurs, refuel as soon as possible.
NOTE:
Do not allow the fuel tank to empty
itself completely.

NOTE:
8When the key is turned to “ON”,
all segments of the display come
on for a few seconds. During this
time, the multi-function display is
performing a self-test.
8Be sure to turn the key to “ON”
before using the “SELECT” and
“RESET” buttons.
NOTE:
8The tripmeter reset mode auto-
matically cancels after five sec-
onds. To return to the reset
mode, push the “SELECT” but-
ton again until “Trip” begins
flashing.
8To cancel the tripmeter reset
mode, push the “SELECT” but-
ton.
8If the tripmeter indicates “––––”,
have a Yamaha dealer check or
repair the multi-function display
as it may be faulty.
Tripmeter “Trip”
To reset the tripmeter:
1. Push the “SELECT” button until
the voltage display appears, then
push the “SELECT” button one
more time and “Trip” starts flash-
ing.
2. Push the “RESET” button for at
least one second to reset the
tripmeter to zero.

Odometer “Odo”
The odometer has two functions.
8It shows the total distance trav-
eled.
8It automatically changes to the
fuel tripmeter mode “Trip F”
when the fuel level reaches
approximately 2.0 L. (See “Fuel
tripmeter” for details.)
NOTE:
If the odometer indicates “––––––”,
have a Yamaha dealer check or
repair the multi-function display as it
may be faulty.

Fuel tripmeter “Trip F”
When the fuel level reaches approxi-
mately 2.0 L, the odometer display
automatically changes to the fuel trip-
meter mode “Trip F” and starts count-
ing the distance traveled from that
point. After refueling and traveling
5 km, the odometer display returns to
“Odo”.To return to the odometer mode
before refueling, push the “SELECT”
button until “Trip F” begins flashing
(“Trip F” will only flash for five sec-
onds). While “Trip F” is flashing, push
the “RESET” button for at least one
second and the display will return to
the odometer mode. From that time,
both “Trip” and “Odo” are displayed
until you refuel and travel 5 km.
NOTE:
The display cannot be changed back
to “Trip F” after pushing the “RESET”
button.

8When the outside temperature
falls below -10.0 °C, “– – °C ” is
displayed.
8When the outside temperature
climbs above 50.0 °C, “50.0”
flashes.
NOTE:
8If “– – °C” is displayed or “50.0”
flashes while the outside temper-
ature is between -10.0 °C and
50.0 °C, there is a problem with
the electrical circuit. Have a
Yamaha dealer check or repair
the electric circuit.
8The accuracy of the temperature
reading may be affected when
riding slowly (approximately
under 20 km/h) or when stopped
at traffic signals, railroad cross-
ings, etc.
Voltage display
This display shows the battery volt-
age.

If the voltage display indicates
“LO” or “HI”, there may be trouble
with the battery charging circuit or
the battery may be faulty. If “LO”
or “HI” appears in the display,
have a Yamaha dealer check or
repair the scooter.

ABSABSThe Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic
control system, which acts on the
front and rear brakes independently.
The ABS securely controls wheel
lockup during emergency braking on
changing road surfaces and under
various weather conditions, thereby
maximizing tire adhesion and perfor-
mance while providing a smooth
braking action. The ABS is monitored
by an ECU (Electronic Control Unit),
which will have recourse to manual
braking if a malfunction occurs.

The ABS performs best on
long braking distances.
8 8
On certain (rough or gravel)
roads, the braking distance
may be longer with than with-
out the ABS. Therefore, always
keep a sufficient distance to
the vehicle ahead to match the
riding speed.
NOTE:
8When the ABS is activated, the
brakes are operated in the usual
way. A pulsating action may be
felt at the brake levers, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.
8This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience
the pulsating at the brake levers
when the ABS is operating.
However, special tools are
required, so please consult your
Yamaha dealer when performing
this test.
