The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:
●
a fuel meter
●
a coolant temperature meter
●
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 bottom segment of the fuel
meter and fuel level warning indi-
cator started flashing)
●
a self-diagnosis device
●
a clock
●
an ambient temperature display
●
an oil change indicator
●
a V-belt replacement indicator
TIP●
Be sure to turn the key to “ON” be-
fore using the “SELECT” and “RE-
SET” buttons.
●
When the key is turned to “ON”, all
of the display segments of the
multi-function display will appear
and then disappear, in order to test
the electrical circuit.
Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the “SELECT” button switches
the display between the odometer
mode “Odo” and the tripmeter modes
“Trip” in the following order:
Odo/Trip (top) → Trip (bottom)/Trip
(top) → Odo/Trip (top)When approximately 2.0 L (0.53 US
gal, 0.44 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 “Trip F” and start
counting the distance traveled from that
point. In that case, pushing the “SE-
LECT” button switches the display be-
tween the various tripmeter and
odometer modes in the following order:
Trip F/Trip (top) → Trip (bottom)/Trip
(top) → Odo/Trip (top) → Trip F/Trip

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
“Trip F” after pushing the “RESET” but-
ton.Fuel meter
With the key in the “ON” position, the
fuel meter indicates the amount of fuel
in the fuel tank. The display segments
of the fuel meter disappear towards “E”
(Empty) as the fuel level decreases.
When the fuel level reaches the bottom
segment near “E”, the fuel level warn-
ing indicator and the bottom segment
will flash. Refuel as soon as possible.
Coolant temperature meter
With the key in the “ON” position, the
coolant temperature meter indicates
the temperature of the coolant. The
coolant temperature varies with chang-
es in the weather and engine load. If
the top segment and coolant tempera-ture warning indicator flash, stop the
vehicle and let the engine cool. (See
page 6-36.)
NOTICE
ECA10021
Do not continue to operate the en-
gine if it is overheating.Oil change indicator “OIL”
This indicator flashes at the initial 1000
km (600 mi), then at 6000 km (3500 mi)
and every 6000 km (3500 mi) thereafter
to indicate that the engine oil should be
changed.
After changing the engine oil, reset the
oil change indicator. (See page 6-10.)
If the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator comes on (i.e. be-
fore the periodic oil change interval has

3 been reached), the indicator must be
reset after the oil change for the next
periodic oil change to be indicated at
the correct time. (See page 6-10.)
The electrical circuit of the indicator can
be checked according to the following
procedure.
1. Turn the key to “ON”.
2. Check that the indicator comes on
for a few seconds and then goes
off.
3. If the indicator does not come on,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.
V-belt replacement indicator “V-
BELT”
This indicator flashes every 18000 km
(10500 mi) when the V-belt needs to be
replaced.
The electrical circuit of the indicator can
be checked according to the following
procedure.
1. Turn the key to “ON”.
2. Check that the indicator comes on
for a few seconds and then goes
off.3. If the indicator does not come on,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.
Self-diagnosis device
This model is equipped with a self-diag-
nosis device for various electrical cir-
cuits.
If a problem is detected in any of those
circuits, the multi-function display will
indicate an error code.
If the multi-function display indicates
such an error code, note the code num-
ber, and then have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.
NOTICE
ECA11790
If the multi-function display indi-
cates an error code, the vehicle
should be checked as soon as pos-
sible in order to avoid engine dam-
age.The self-diagnosis device also detects
problems in the immobilizer system cir-
cuits.
If a problem is detected in the immobi-
lizer system circuits, the immobilizer
system indicator light will flash and themulti-function display will indicate an
error code when the key is turned to
“ON”.
TIPIf the multi-function display indicates er-
ror code 52, this could be caused by
transponder interference. If this error
appears, try the following.1. Use the code re-registering key to
start the engine.TIPMake sure there are no other immobi-
lizer keys close to the main switch, and
do not keep more than one immobilizer
key on the same key ring! Immobilizer1. Error code display

Read the Owner’s Manual carefully to
become familiar with all controls. If
there is a control or function you do not
understand, ask your Yamaha dealer.
WARNING

TIPThis model is equipped with a lean an-
gle sensor to stop the engine in case of
a turnover. In this case, the multi-func-
tion display indicates error code 30, but
this is not a malfunction. Turn the key to
“OFF” and then to “ON” to clear the er-
ror code. Failing to do so will prevent
the engine from starting even though
the engine will crank when pushing the
start switch.

6Before installing a spark plug, the spark
plug gap should be measured with a
wire thickness gauge and, if necessary,
adjusted to specification.
Clean the surface of the spark plug
gasket and its mating surface, and then
wipe off any grime from the spark plug
threads.
TIPIf a torque wrench is not available when
installing a spark plug, a good estimate
of the correct torque is 1/4–1/2 turn
past finger tight. However, the spark
plug should be tightened to the speci-
fied torque as soon as possible.
EAUS1703
Engine oil The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed at the intervals spec-
ified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart and when the service
indicator light comes on.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the scooter on the center-
stand. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil set-
tles, remove the oil filler cap, wipe
the dipstick clean, insert it back
into the oil filler hole (without
screwing it in), and then remove it
again to check the oil level.TIPThe engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.

mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.
5. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler
hole, and then tighten the oil filler
cap.
To change the engine oil (with or
without oil filter element replace-
ment)
1. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
2. Place an oil pan under the engine
to collect the used oil.3. Remove the engine oil filler cap
and the engine oil drain bolt to
drain the oil from the crankcase.
4. Check the drain bolt washer for
damage and replace it if neces-
sary.
TIPSkip steps 5–9 if the oil filter element is
not being replaced.5. Remove the oil filter element cover
by removing the bolts.
6. Remove the oil filter element and

3. Release the “OIL CHANGE” but-
ton, and the oil change indicator
will go off.
TIPIf the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator comes on (i.e. be-
fore the periodic oil change interval hasbeen reached), the indicator must be
reset after the oil change for the next
periodic oil change to be indicated at
the correct time. To reset the oil change
indicator before the periodic oil change
interval has been reached, follow the
above procedure, but note that the indi-
cator will come on for 1.4 seconds after
releasing the “OIL CHANGE” button,
otherwise repeat the procedure.

Final transmission oil The final transmission case must be
checked for oil leakage before each
ride. If any leakage is found, have a
Yamaha dealer check and repair the
scooter. In addition, the final transmis-
sion oil must be changed as follows at
the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
1. Start the engine, warm up the final
transmission oil by riding the
scooter for several minutes, and
then stop the engine.
2. Place the scooter on the center-
stand.
3. Place an oil pan under the final
transmission case to collect the
used oil.
4. Remove the final transmission oil
filler cap and its O-ring from the fi-
nal transmission case.
