TIPThe ABS warning light may come on
while accelerating the engine with the
scooter on its centerstand, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.

Immobilizer system indicator
light “ ”
The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked by turning the key
to “ON”. The indicator light should
come on for a few seconds, and then
go off.
If the indicator light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ON”,
or if the indicator light remains on, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.
When the key is turned to “OFF” and
30 seconds have passed, the indicator
light will start flashing indicating the im-
mobilizer system is enabled. After 24
hours have passed, the indicator light
will stop flashing, however the immobi-
lizer system is still enabled.The self-diagnosis device also detects
problems in the immobilizer system
circuits. (See page 3-12 for an expla-
nation of the self-diagnosis device.)

3The multi-function meter unit is
equipped with the following:
a speedometer
a tachometer
a fuel meter
a clock
an odometer and tripmeter display
a multi-function display
a coolant temperature meter
TIPBe sure to turn the key to “ON” be-
fore using the “Select”, “Reset”,
“TRIP” and “INFO” buttons.
When the key is turned to “ON”, all
display segments of the multi-
function meter unit will momen-
tarily appear in order to test the
electrical circuit. The speedome-
ter and odometer will then perform
a display check and a welcome
message will scroll across the
multi-function display.
For the UK, traveling speed, dis-
tance traveled, and fuel consump-
tion measurements can be
displayed in kilometer or mileage
based units. To switch between
miles and kilometers; hold the“SELECT” switch pushed, turn the
main switch to “ON”, and keep the
“SELECT” switch pushed for an
additional 8 seconds.
For other countries, traveling
speed, distance traveled and fuel
consumption measurements are
displayed in kilometer base units.
Speedometer
The speedometer shows the riding
speed.
Tachometer
The electric tachometer allows the rid-
er to monitor the engine speed and
keep it within the ideal power range.
NOTICE
ECAM1150
Do not operate the engine in the ta-
chometer high-rpm zone.
High-rpm zone: 10000 r/min and
aboveFuel 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 bottom segment
will flash. Refuel as soon as possible.

note the code number, and then have
a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
Coolant temperature meter
With the key in the “ON” position, the

the temperature of the coolant. The
coolant temperature varies with
changes in the weather and engine
load. If the top segment and coolant
temperature warning indicator flash,
stop the vehicle and let the engine
cool.

• This model’s engine air filter is equipped with a disposable oil-coated paper element, which must not be cleaned
with compressed air to avoid damaging it.
• The engine air filter element needs to be replaced and the V-belt air filter elements need to be serviced more fre-
quently when riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.21*Cooling system• Check coolant level and vehicle
for coolant leakage.√√√√√
• Change coolant. Every 3 years

66. Install the final transmission oil
drain bolt and its new gasket, and
then tighten the bolt to the speci-
fied torque.
7. Refill with the specified amount of
the recommended final transmis-
sion oil. WARNING! Make sure
that no foreign material enters
the final transmission case.
Make sure that no oil gets on
the tire or wheel.
[EWA11312]
8. Install the final transmission oil fill-
er cap and its new O-ring, and
then tighten the oil filler cap.
9. Check the final transmission case
for oil leakage. If oil is leaking,
check for the cause.
EAU20071
CoolantThe coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the cool-
ant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAUM3043
To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
2. Open the front storage compart-
ment A. (See page 3-20.)TIPThe coolant level must be
checked on a cold engine since
the level varies with engine tem-
perature.
Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking
the coolant level. A slight tilt to the
side can result in a false reading.3. Check the coolant level through
the check window.
TIPThe coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.4. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, remove pan-
el A. (See page 6-8.)
5. Open the reservoir cap, and then
add coolant to the maximum level
mark. WARNING! Remove only
the coolant reservoir cap. Never
attempt to remove the radiator
cap when the engine is hot.
[EWA15162]
NOTICE: If coolant is not
available, use distilled water or
soft tap water instead. Do not
use hard water or salt water

6 since it is harmful to the engine.
If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with cool-
ant as soon as possible, other-
wise the cooling system will not
be protected against frost and
corrosion. If water has been
added to the coolant, have a
Yamaha dealer check the anti-
freeze content of the coolant as
soon as possible, otherwise the
effectiveness of the coolant will
be reduced.
[ECA10473]
6. Close the reservoir cap, and then
install the panel.7. Close the front storage compart-
ment.
EAU33032
Changing the coolant
The coolant must be changed at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic main-
tenance and lubrication chart. Have a
Yamaha dealer change the coolant.
WARNING! Never attempt to remove
the radiator cap when the engine is
hot.
[EWA10382]EAUM3370
Air filter and V-belt case air fil-
ter elements and check hosesThe air filter element should be re-
placed and the V-belt case air filter el-
ement should be cleaned at the
intervals specified in the periodic main-
tenance and lubrication chart. Service
the air filter elements more frequently if
you are riding in unusually wet or dusty
areas.
Replacing the air filter element
1. Place the scooter on the center-
stand.
2. Remove the air filter case cover by
removing the screws.

WARNING
EWAT1041
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may be
blown out under pressure, which could cause serious injury. Be sure to wait until the engine has cooled.
Place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radiator cap, and then slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the
detent to allow any residual pressure to escape. When the hissing sound has stopped, press down on the cap
while turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.TIPIf coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided that it is changed to the recommended cool-
ant as soon as possible.
Wait until the
engine has cooled.
Check the coolant level in the
reservoir and radiator.
The coolant level
is OK.The coolant level is low.
Check the cooling system
for leakage.
Have a Yamaha dealer checkand repair the cooling system.Add coolant. (See TIP.)
Start the engine. If the engine overheats again,
have a
Yamaha dealer check
and repair the cooling system.
