This indicator light comes on when the
high beam of the headlight is switched
on.
EAU59962
Oil pressure warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on if the en-
gine oil pressure is low.
The electrical circuit of the warning
light can be checked by turning the key
to “ON”. The warning light should
come on again after going off briefly,
and then remain on until the engine is
started.
If the warning light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ON”,
have a Yamaha dealer check the elec-
trical circuit.NOTICE
ECA21210
If the warning light comes on when
the engine is running, stop the en-
gine immediately and check oil level.If the oil level is below the minimum
level, add sufficient oil of the recom-
mended type to raise it up to the cor-
rect level. If the oil pressure warning
light remains on even if the oil level
is correct, immediately turn the en-
gine off and have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.
TIPIf the warning light does not go off after
starting the engine, check the engine
oil level and add oil if necessary. (See
page 6-9.)
If the warning light remains on after
adding engine oil, have a Yamaha
dealer check the vehicle.
EAU11447
Coolant temperature warning
light “ ”
This warning light comes on if the en-
gine overheats. If this occurs, stop the
engine immediately and allow the en-
gine to cool.
The electrical circuit of the warning
light can be checked by turning the key
to “ON”. The warning light should
come on for a few seconds, and then
go off.
If the warning light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ON”,
or if the warning light remains on, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.
NOTICE

Do not continue to operate the en-
gine if it is overheating.TIP
For radiator-fan-equipped vehi-
cles, the radiator fan(s) automati-
cally switch on or off according to
the coolant temperature in the ra-
diator.
 If the engine overheats, see page
6-43 for further instructions.

TIPThis fuel meter is equipped with a self-
diagnosis system. If a problem is de-
tected in the electrical circuit, the fol-
lowing cycle is repeated until the
malfunction is corrected: fuel level seg-
ments and fuel level warning
indicator “ ” flash eight times, then go
off for approximately 3 seconds. If this
occurs, have a Yamaha dealer check
the electrical circuit.Eco indicator This indicator comes on when the vehi-
cle is being operated in an environ-
mentally friendly, fuel-efficient manner.
The indicator goes off when the vehicle
is stopped.
TIPConsider the following tips to reduce
fuel consumption:
 Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
 Travel at a constant speed.
 Select the transmission gear that
is appropriate for the vehicle
speed.Transmission gear display This display shows the selected gear.
The neutral position is indicated by “–”
and by the neutral indicator light.
Multi-function
display
The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:  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 left segment of the fuel meter
started flashing)
 a coolant temperature display
 an ambient temperature display

Push the left set button to switch the
display between the odometer mode
“ODO”, tripmeter modes “TRIP 1” and
“TRIP 2”, instantaneous fuel consump-
tion mode “km/L” or “L/100 km”, aver-
age fuel consumption mode “AVE_ _._
km/L” or “AVE_ _._ L/100 km”, coolant
temperature mode “_ _ °C”, and ambi-
ent temperature mode “Air_ _ °C” in
the following order:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 →km/L or
L/100 km → AVE_ _._ km/L or AVE_ _._
L/100 km → _ _ °C → Air_ _ °C → ODO
For the UK only:
Push the left set button to switch the
display between the odometer mode
“ODO”, tripmeter modes “TRIP 1” and
“TRIP 2”, instantaneous fuel consump-
tion mode “km/L”, “L/100 km” or
“MPG”, average fuel consumption
mode “AVE_ _._ km/L”, “AVE_ _._

ent temperature mode “Air_ _ °C” in
the following order:

TIPPush the right set button to switch the
display in the reverse order.If the fuel level warning indicator “ ”
and left segment of the fuel meter start
flashing, the display automatically
changes to the fuel reserve tripmeter
mode “TRIP F” and starts counting the
distance traveled from that point. In
that case, push the left set button to
switch the display between the various
tripmeter, odometer, instantaneous
fuel consumption and average fuel
consumption modes in the following
order: TRIP F
→ km/L or L/100 km → AVE_
_._ km/L or AVE_ _._ L/100 km → _ _
°C → Air_ _ °C → ODO → TRIP 1 →
TRIP 2 → TRIP F

AVE_ _._ MPG → _ _ °C → Air_ _ °C →
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → TRIP F
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the left set button, and then push
the right set button for at least one sec-
ond.
If you do not reset the fuel reserve trip-
meter manually, it resets itself auto-
matically and the display returns to the
prior mode after refueling and traveling
5 km (3 mi).

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
the engine cool. (See page 6-43.)
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.
Am bient temperature display
This display shows the ambient tem-
perature from –9 °C to 99 °C in 1 °C in-
crements. The temperature displayed
may vary from the ambient tempera-
ture.TIP When the ambient temperature is
below –9 °C, “LO” will be dis-
played.
 The accuracy of the temperature
reading may be affected when rid-
ing slowly [approximately under
20 km/h (12.5 mi/h)] or when
stopped at traffic signals, railroad
crossings, etc.
Self-d iagnosis device
This model is equipped with a self-di-
agnosis device for various electrical
circuits.
If a problem is detected in any of those
circuits, the engine trouble warning
light will come on and the display will
indicate an error code.
If the display indicates any error codes,
note the code number, and then have
a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
The self-diagnosis device also detects
problems in the immobilizer system
circuits.

TIPThis model is equipped with:  a lean angle sensor to stop the en-
gine in case of a turnover. In this
case, the multi-function display in-
dicates error code 30, but this is
not a malfunction. Turn the key to
“OFF” and then to “ON” to clear
the error code. Failing to do so will
prevent the engine from starting
even though the engine will crank
when pushing the start switch.
 an engine auto-stop system. The
engine stops automatically if left
idling for 20 minutes. If the engine
stops, simply push the start
switch to restart the engine.

position.
 The transmission is in gear with
the clutch lever pulled and the
sidestand up.
See page 3-25 for more informa-
tion.
1. Turn the key to “ON” and make sure that the start/engine stop
switch is set to “ ”.
The following warning lights and
indicator light should come on for
a few seconds, then go off. Coolant temperature warning
