Oil pressure warnin g lig ht “ ”
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

If the warnin g li ght comes on when
the en gine is runnin g, stop the en-
g ine immed iately and check oil level. If the oil level is
below the minimum
level, a dd sufficient oil of the recom-
men ded type to raise it up to the cor-
rect level. If the oil pressure warnin g
li g ht remains on even if the oil level
is correct, imme diately turn the en-
g ine off an d 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 6-10.)
If the warning light remains on after
adding engine oil, have a Yamaha
dealer check the vehicle.

will come on for a few seconds, and
then go off. If the light does not come
on, or if the light remains on, have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
TIP
For vehicles with a radiator fan,
the radiator fan(s) automatically
switch on or off according to the
coolant temperature.
 If the engine overheats, see page

The odometer shows the total distance
traveled by the vehicle.
The tripmeters show the distance trav-
eled since they were last reset.
To reset a tripmeter, use the left set
button to display the tripmeter you
want to reset, the tripmeter will flash for
a few seconds. While the tripmeter is
flashing, push the right set button for

 The tripmeters will lock at 9999.9
but can be manually reset.
Fuel reserve tripmeter
When the fuel level becomes low, the
last segment of the fuel meter will start
flashing. The fuel reserve tripmeter
“TRIP F” will automatically appear and
start counting the distance traveled
from that point. In this case, push the

TIPAfter resetting the average fuel con-
sumption, “_ _._” will be shown until
the vehicle has traveled 1 km (0.6 mi).Coolant temperature
This shows the coolant temperature
from 40 °C to 116 °C in 1 °C incre-
ments.
If the message “Hi” flashes, stop the
vehicle, then stop the engine, and let it
cool. (See page 6-39.)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.
Air temperature
This shows the air temperature from –9
°C to 99 °C in 1 °C increments. The
temperature displayed may vary from
the ambient temperature.TIPWhen the temperature is below –9
°C, “Lo” will be displayed.
 The accuracy of the temperature
reading may be affected by engine
heat when riding slowly (under 20
km/h [12 mi/h]) or when stopped
at traffic signals, etc.
Brightness control mode
The brightness control mode allows
you to adjust the brightness level of the
multi-function meter unit.
To adjust the brightness1. Turn the key to “OFF”.
2. Push and hold the left set button.
3. Turn the key to “ON” and continue
pushing the left set button until the
display switches to the brightness
control mode.
4. Push the right set button to set the brightness level.
5. Push the left set button to confirm the selected brightness level and

• Refuel if necessary.
• Check fuel line for leakage.
• Check fuel tank overflow hose for obstructions, cracks or damage, and check
hose connection. 3-16, 3-17
En gine oil • Check oil level in engine.
• If necessary, add recommended oil to specified level.
• Check vehicle for oil leakage. 6-10

CoolantThe coolant level should be checked
regularly. In addition, the coolant must
be changed at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance chart.TIPIf 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.
EAU20097
To check the coolant level
Since the coolant level varies with en-
gine temperature, check when the en-
gine is cold.
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface. 2. With the vehicle in an upright posi-
tion, look at the coolant level in the
reservoir.
3. If the coolant is at or below the minimum 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]
4. Add coolant to the maximum level
mark. NOTICE: If coolant is not
availa ble, use d istilled water 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 been
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 re duce d.

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 be
b lown out un der pressure, which coul d cause serious injury. Be sure to wait until the en gine has coole d.
 After removin g the ra diator cap retainin g b olt, place a thick ra g, like a towel, over the ra diator cap, an d then
slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the detent to allow any resi dual pressure to escape. When the hiss-
in g soun d has stoppe d, press down on the cap while turnin g it counterclockwise, an d then remove the cap.TIPIf coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided that it is changed to the recommended cool-
ant as soon as possible.
Wait until the
engine has cooled.
Check the coolant level in the
reservoir and radiator.
The coolant level
is OK.The coolant level is low.
Check the cooling system
for leakage.
Have a Yamaha dealer checkand repair the cooling system.Add coolant. (See TIP.)
Start the engine. If the engine overheats again,
have a
Yamaha dealer check
and repair the cooling system.
