curs, have a Yamaha dealer check the
self-diagnosis system.
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.

The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:

two tripmeters (which show the
distance traveled since they were
last set to zero)

an oil change tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled since
the last engine oil change)

an oil change indicator (which dis-
plays when the engine oil should
be changed)


(which shows the distance trav-
eled since the V-belt was last re-
placed)

TIP
When 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.

Be sure to turn the key to “ON” be-
fore using the “SELECT” and “RE-
SET” buttons except when setting
the brightness mode.
Odometer, fuel tripmeter, tripme-
ters, oil change tripmeter and V-belt
tripmeter modes
Pushing the “SELECT” button switches
the display among the odometer mode
“ODO”, the fuel tripmeter mode “F”, the
tripmeter modes “TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2”,
the oil change tripmeter mode “OIL
TRIP” and the V-belt change mode
“BELT TRIP” in the following order:
ODO  F  TRIP 1  TRIP 2  OIL
TRIP  BELT TRIP  ODO
When approximately 1.6 L (0.42 US
gal, 0.35 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the bottom segment of the
fuel meter and fuel level warning indica-
tor will start flashing, and the display will
automatically change to the fuel re-
serve tripmeter mode " F" and start
counting the distance traveled from that
point. In that case, pushing the "RE-
SET" button switches the display to the
previous mode.
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button until “Trip” or
“Trip F” begins flashing (“Trip” or “Trip F” will only flash for five seconds).
While “Trip” or “Trip F” is flashing, push
the “RESET” button for at least one
second. If you do not reset the fuel re-
serve tripmeter manually, it will reset it-
self automatically and the display will
return to the prior mode after refueling
and traveling 5 km (3 mi).
TIPThe display cannot be changed back to
fuel reserve tripmeter “F” after pushingthe “RESET” button.
OdometerTIP
For the U.K.: For any mode, the
odometer units can be switched
from kilometers to miles by push-
ing the “SELECT” button for 1 sec-
ond.

If the odometer indicates “-----”,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
multi-function display, as it may befaulty.

or “TRIP 2” is displayed, and then push
the “RESET” button for at least 1 sec-
ond.
TIPIf the tripmeter indicates “-----”, have a
Yamaha dealer check the multi-func-tion display, as it may be faulty.
Oil change tripmeter
To reset the oil change tripmeter, select
it by pushing the “SELECT” button until
“OIL CHANGE” and “OIL TRIP” are dis-
played, and then push the “RESET”
button for at least 3 seconds. After re-
setting, “OIL CHANGE” will disappear.
Push the “SELECT” button again to
start the oil change tripmeter; the dis-
play changes to V-belt tripmeter mode.
Oil change indicator “OIL
CHANGE”
This indicator will display at the initial
1000 km (625 mi), then at every 6000
km (3750 mi) thereafter to indicate that
the engine oil should be changed.
After changing the engine oil, reset the
oil change tripmeter. If the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator displays (i.e. before
the periodic oil change interval has
been reached), the oil change tripmeter
must be reset after the oil change for
the next periodic oil change to be indi-
cated at the correct time.
TIP
If the oil change tripmeter is reset
before the initial 1000 km (625 mi),
the next periodic oil change inter-
val will be at every 6000 km (3750
mi) thereafter.

If the oil change tripmeter indicates
“-----”, have a Yamaha dealer
check the multi-function display,as it may be faulty.
V-belt replacement tripmeter
To reset the V-belt tripmeter, select it
by pushing the “SELECT” button until
“V-BELT” and “BELT TRIP” are dis-
played, and then push the “RESET”
button for at least 3 seconds. After re-
setting, “V-BELT” will disappear.
Push the “SELECT” button again to
start the V-belt tripmeter; the display
changes to ODO mode. V-belt change indicator “V-BELT”
This indicator comes on at every 20000
km (12500 mi) to indicate that the
V-belt should be replaced.
After replacing the V-belt, reset the
V-belt tripmeter.
If the V-belt is replaced before the
V-belt indicator comes on (i.e., before
the periodic V-belt replacement interval
has been reached), the V-belt tripmeter
must be reset after replacing the V-belt
for the next periodic V-belt replacement
to be indicated at the correct time.
TIPIf the V-belt change indicator displays
“-----”, have a Yamaha dealer check the
multi-function display, as it may befaulty.
Ambient temperature display “OUT
TEMP”
This display shows the ambient tem-
perature from –10
C to 40 C in 1 C
increments. The temperature displayed
may vary from the ambient tempera-
ture.

Air filter and V-belt case air
filter elementsThe air filter and V-belt case air filter el-
ements should be cleaned or replaced
at the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
Check both filter elements more fre-
quently if you are riding in unusually
wet or dusty areas. The air filter check
hose must be frequently checked and

properly seated in the air filter
case. The engine should never
be operated without the air filter
element installed, otherwise the
piston(s) and/or cylinder(s) may
become excessively worn.
