EAU11255
Oil level warnin g lig ht “ ”
This warning light comes on if the en-
gine oil level is low.
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.
TIP Even if the oil level is sufficient, the
warning light may flicker when rid-
ing on a slope or during sudden
acceleration or deceleration, but
this is not a malfunction.
This model is also equipped with a
self-diagnosis device for the oil
level detection circuit. If a problem
is detected in the oil level detec-
tion circuit, the following cycle will
be repeated until the malfunction
is corrected: The oil level warning
light will flash ten times, then go
off for 2.5 seconds. If this occurs,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle.

Multi-function meter unit
WARNING
EWA12423
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
makin g any settin g chan ges to the
multi-function meter unit. Chan gin g
settin gs while ri din g can distract the
operator an d increase the risk of an
acci dent.
The multi-function meter unit is
equipped with the following:
a speedometer
a tachometer
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 clock
a fuel meter
a coolant temperature display
a self-diagnosis deviceTIPBe sure to turn the key to “ON” be-
fore using the “SELECT” and “RE-
SET” buttons.
For the U.K. only: To switch the
speedometer and odometer/trip-
meter displays between kilome-
ters and miles, press the
“SELECT” button for at least one
second.
Tachometer
The electric tachometer allows the rid-
er to monitor the engine speed and
keep it within the ideal power range.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the ta-
chometer needle will sweep once
across the r/min range and then return
to zero r/min in order to test the electri-
cal circuit.NOTICE
ECA10032
Do not operate the en gine in the ta-
chometer red zone.

The fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel meter disappear to-
wards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When the last segment on
the left starts flashing, refuel as soon as
possible.
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 symbol “ ” flash eight
times, then go off for approximately 3
seconds. If this occurs, have a Yamaha
dealer check the electrical circuit.
Coolant temperature
display
The coolant temperature display indi-
cates the temperature of the coolant.NOTICE

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.
