(empty) as the fuel level decreases. When the
“E” segment disappears and the fuel level
warning indicator flashes, refuel as soon as
possible.
TIPThis fuel meter is equipped with a self-diag-
nosis system. If a problem is detected in an
electrical circuit, all the display segments and
fuel level warning indicator start flashing. If
this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.
