Indicator ligh ts and warning
lights
EAU11032Turn signal indicator lights “ ” and
“”
Each indicator light will flash when its
corresponding turn signal lights are
flashing.
EAU11081High beam indicator light “ ”
This indicator light comes on when the
high beam of the headlight is switched
on.
EAU63521Engine trouble warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on if an elec-
trical circuit monitoring the engine is not
working correctly. If this occurs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the self-diagno-
sis system.
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by turning the vehicle
power 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 vehicle power is
turned on, or if the warning light re-
mains on, have a Yamaha dealer check
the electrical circuit.
TIP
This warning light will come on when
the vehicle power is on and the “ON/ ”
switch is pushed, but this does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
EAU63532ABS warning light “ ” (for ABS
models)
In normal operation, the ABS warning
light comes on when the vehicle power
is turned on and goes off after traveling
at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or higher.
If the ABS warning light:
does not come on when the vehi-
cle power is turned on
comes on or flashes while riding
does not go off after traveling at a
speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or higher
The ABS may not work correctly. If any
of the above occurs, have a Yamaha
dealer check the system as soon as
possible. (See page 4-13 for an expla-
nation of the ABS.)
WARNING
EWA16041
If the ABS warning light does not go
off after traveling at a speed of 10
km/h (6 mi/h) or higher, or if the
warning light comes on or flashes
while riding, the brake system re-
verts to conventional braking. If ei-
ther of the above occurs, or if the
warning light does not come on at
all, use extra caution to avoid possi-
ble wheel lock during emergency
braking. Have a Yamaha dealer

The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:a fuel meter
a coolant temperature meter
an odometer
two tripmeters
a fuel reserve tripmeter
a self-diagnosis device
a clock
an ambient temperature display
a fuel consumption display
an oil change tripmeter
a V-belt replacement tripmeter
TIP
Be sure to turn the vehicle power
on before using the “SELECT” and
“RESET” buttons.
When the vehicle power is turned
on, all of the display segments of
the multi-function display will ap-
pear one after the other and then
disappear, in order to test the elec-
trical circuits. Clock
The clock uses a 24-hour time system.
The clock displays when the key is
turned to “ON”.
To set the clock:
1. Push the “SELECT” and “RESET”
buttons 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.

traveled by the vehicle.
The tripmeters show the distance trav-
eled since they were last reset.
The fuel reserve tripmeter shows the
distance traveled since the fuel level
warning indicator came on.
The oil change tripmeter shows the dis-
tance traveled since the last engine oil
change.
The V-belt replacement tripmeter
shows the distance traveled since the
last V-belt replacement.
TIP
The odometer will lock at 999999.
The tripmeters will reset and con-
tinue counting after 9999.9 is
reached.
Pushing the “SELECT” button switches the display between the odometer
mode and the tripmeter modes in the
following order:
Odo
 Trip 1  Trip 2  V-Belt Trip 
Oil Trip  Odo
When approximately 3.0 L (0.79 US
gal, 0.66 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the 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:
Odo  Trip 1  Trip 2  Trip F 
V-Belt Trip  Oil Trip  Odo
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button until “Trip F”,
“Trip 1” or “Trip 2” is displayed. While
“Trip F”, “Trip 1” or “Trip 2” is displayed,
push the “SELECT” button for at least
one second. If you do not reset the fuel
reserve tripmeter manually, it will reset
itself automatically and the display will
return to the prior mode after refueling
and traveling 5 km (3 mi).

Rear brake lever
The rear brake lever is located at the
left handlebar grip. To apply the rear
brake, pull this lever toward the handle-
bar grip.
The rear brake lever is equipped with a
position adjusting dial. To adjust the
distance between the rear brake lever
and the handlebar grip, turn the adjust-
ing dial while holding the rear brake le-
ver pushed away from the handlebar
grip. Make sure that the appropriate
setting on the adjusting dial is aligned
with the “ ” mark on the rear brake le-
ver.

Rear brake lock lever
This vehicle is equipped with a rear
brake lock lever to prevent the rear
wheel from moving while stopped at
traffic signals, railroad crossings, etc.
To lock the rear wheel
Push the rear brake lock lever to the left
until it snaps into place.
To unlock the rear wheel
Push the rear brake lock lever back to
the original position.
TIP
Be sure to check that the rear wheel
does not move when the rear brake
lock lever is applied.
WARNING
EWA12362
Never move the rear brake lock lever
to the left while the vehicle is mov-
ing, otherwise loss of control or an
accident may result. Make sure that
the vehicle is stopped before mov-
ing the rear brake lock lever to the
left.

ABS (for ABS models)
The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con-
trol system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently.
Operate the brakes with ABS as you
would conventional brakes. If the ABS
is activated, a pulsating sensation may
be felt at the brake levers. In this situa-
tion, continue to apply the brakes and
let the ABS work; do not “pump” the
brakes as this will reduce braking effec-
tiveness.
WARNING
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient distance
from the vehicle ahead to match the
riding speed even with ABS.
The ABS performs best with
long braking distances.
On certain surfaces, such as
rough or gravel roads, the brak-
ing distance may be longer with
the ABS than without.
The ABS is monitored by an ECU,
which will revert the system to conven-
tional braking if a malfunction occurs.
TIP
The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test each time the vehicle is
turned on and travels at a speed of
10 km/h (6 mi/h) or higher. During
this test, a clicking noise can be
heard and if either brake lever is
even slightly applied, a vibration
can be felt at the lever, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.
This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience the
pulsation at the brake levers when the ABS is operating. However,
special tools are required, so
please consult your Yamaha deal-
er.
NOTICE
ECA20100
Be careful not to damage the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of the
ABS will result.

compartment. To prevent damaging
the seat hinges, do not place any
items in this area.
[ECA16092]
TIP
Some helmets cannot be stored in
the rear storage compartment be-
cause of their size or shape.
Do not leave your scooter unat-
tended with the seat open.
The interior of the rear storage
compartment lies outside the oper-
ating range of the smart key. If the
rear storage compartment is
locked with the smart key inside,
the smart key system may be dis-
abled. The smart key must be car-
ried by the rider.

Do not leave the seat open for
an extended period of time, oth-
erwise the light may cause the
battery to discharge.
Since the storage compartment
may get wet while the scooter is
being washed, wrap any articles
stored in the compartment in a
plastic bag.
To avoid humidity from spread-
ing through the storage com-
partment and to discourage
possible mold growth, wrap wet
articles in a plastic bag before
storing them in the compart-
ment.
Do not keep anything valuable
or breakable in the storage com-
partment.
Since the storage compartment
accumulates heat from the en-
gine and from direct sunlight,
do not store anything suscepti-
ble to heat, such as food or
flammable items, inside the
compartment.
WARNING
