Multi-function meter unit
WARNING
EWA12423
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
making any setting changes to the
multi-function meter unit. Changing
settings while riding can distract the
operator and increase the risk of an
accident.
The 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”, “RE-
SET”, “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.
Traveling speed, distance traveled
and fuel consumption measure-
ments are displayed in kilometer-
based units.
For the UK: traveling speed, dis-
tance traveled and fuel consump-
tion measurements can be
displayed in mile-based units. To
switch between kilometers or
miles: hold the “SELECT” switch
pushed, turn the main switch to
“ON”, and keep the “SELECT”
switch pushed for an additional 8
seconds.

NOTICE
ECAM1150
Do not operate the engine in the ta-
chometer high-rpm zone.
High-rpm zone: 10000 r/min and

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 start from “F” (full) and
disappear towards “E” (empty) as the
fuel level decreases. When the fuel lev-
el is low, the fuel pictogram “ ” and
the last segment will flash. Refuel as
soon as possible.
TIP
The fuel meter is equipped with a self-
diagnosis system. If a problem is de-
tected in the fuel tank electrical circuit,
all segments of the fuel meter will flash
repeatedly. If this occurs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
Clock
To set the clock:
1. Push the “SELECT” button for 3
seconds, and the hour digits will
start flashing.
2. Use the “SELECT” button to set
the hours.
3. Push the “SELECT” button for 3
seconds, and the minute digits will
start flashing.
4. Use the “SELECT” button to set
the minutes.
5. Push the “SELECT” button for 3
seconds to complete setting the
clock.
Odometer and tripmeter display
The odometer and tripmeter display is
equipped with the following:
an odometer (which shows the to-
tal distance the vehicle has trav-
eled)
a tripmeter (which shows the dis-
tance traveled since last set to ze-
ro)
a time tripmeter (which shows the
elapsed riding time since last set
to zero)

shows the distance traveled since
the fuel level warning light came
on)
an oil change tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled since
the last engine oil change)
a V-belt replacement tripmeter
(which shows the distance trav-
eled since the last V-belt replace-
ment)
Push the “TRIP” button to switch the
display in the following order:
Odo (odometer) → Trip (tripmeter) →
Trip Time (time tripmeter) → Oil (oil
change tripmeter) → V-Belt (v-belt re-
placement tripmeter) → Odo (odome-
ter)
When approximately 2.5 L (0.66 US
gal, 0.55 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the display will automatically
change to the fuel reserve tripmeter
mode “F Trip” and start counting the
distance traveled from that point. In
this case, push the “TRIP” button to
switch the display in the following or-
der:
Odo → Trip → Trip Time → F Trip (fuel
reserve tripmeter) → Oil Trip → V-Belt
Trip → Odo
To reset a standard tripmeter (not oil
change or V-belt change tripmeter),
select it by pushing the “TRIP” button
until “Trip”, “Trip Time”, “F Trip” is dis-
played. While “Trip, Trip Time, F Trip”
is displayed, push the “TRIP” button
for 3 seconds. If you do not reset the
fuel reserve tripmeter manually, it will
reset automatically and disappear after
refueling and traveling 5 km (3 mi).
TIP
The display cannot be changed
back to “F Trip” after it has been
reset.
The tripmeter will reset and con-
tinue counting after 9999.9 is
reached.
The odometer will lock at 999999
and cannot be reset.
Oil change indicator “Oil”
This indicator flashes at the initial 1000
km (600 mi), then at 5000 km (3000 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.
To reset the oil change indicator
1. Turn the key to “ON”.
2. Push the “TRIP” button until “Oil”
(oil change tripmeter) is displayed,
and then push the “RESET” but-
ton for 3 seconds. The oil change
tripmeter value will flash.
3. Hold the “RESET” button pushed
for 15 to 20 seconds.
