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

ABS
The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con-
trol system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently.
Operate the brakes with ABS as you
would conventional brakes. If the ABS
is activated, a pulsating sensation may
be felt at the brake levers. In this situa-
tion, continue to apply the brakes and
let the ABS work; do not “pump” the
brakes as this will reduce braking ef-
fectiveness.
WARNING
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient distance
from the vehicle ahead to match the
riding speed even with ABS.
The ABS performs best with
long braking distances.
On certain surfaces, such as
rough or gravel roads, the brak-
ing distance may be longer with
the ABS than without.
The ABS is monitored by an ECU,
which will revert the system to conven-
tional braking if a malfunction occurs.
TIP
The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test each time the vehicle first
starts off after the key is turned to
“ON” and the vehicle has traveled
at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or
higher. During this test, a “click-
ing” noise can be heard from the
front of the vehicle, and if either
brake lever is even slightly ap-
plied, a vibration can be felt at the
lever, but these do not indicate a
malfunction.

6Engine overheating
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 ro-
tate the cap counterclockwise to the detent to allow any residual pres-
sure to escape. When the hissing sound has stopped, press down on the
cap while turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.
TIP
If coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided
that it is changed to the recommended coolant as soon as possible.
Wait until the engine
has cooled.
Check the coolant
level in the reservoir
and radiator.Add coolant.
(See TIP.)
The coolant level is
OK.
There is no leakage.
There is leakage.
The coolant level is
low.
Check the cooling
system for leakage.
Have a Yamaha
dealer check and
repair the cooling
system.
Start the engine. If the engine overheats again,
have a Yamaha dealer check and repair the cooling
system.
