This warning light comes on when the
fuel level drops below approximately
2.5 L (0.66 US gal, 0.55 Imp.gal). When
this occurs, refuel as soon as possible.
The electrical circuit of the warning
light can be checked by turning the key

WARNING
EWA16041
If the ABS warning light does not go
off after traveling at a speed of 10
km/h (6 mi/h) or higher, or if the
warning light comes on or flashes
while riding, the brake system re-
verts to conventional braking. If ei-
ther of the above occurs, or if the
warning light does not come on at
all, use extra caution to avoid possi-
ble wheel lock during emergency
braking. Have a Yamaha dealer
check the brake system and electri-
cal circuits as soon as possible.
TIP
The ABS warning light may come on
while accelerating the engine with the
vehicle on its centerstand, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.
EAUM3621Immobilizer system indicator
light “ ”
When the key is turned to “OFF” and
30 seconds have passed, the indicator
light will flash steadily to indicate the
immobilizer system is enabled. After 24
hours have passed, the indicator light
will stop flashing, however the immobi-
lizer system is still enabled.
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”,
if the indicator light remains on, or if the
indicator light flashes in a pattern (if a
problem is detected in the immobilizersystem, the immobilizer system indica-
tor light will flash in a pattern), have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
TIP
If the immobilizer system indicator light
flashes in the pattern, slowly 5 times
then quickly 2 times, this could be
caused by transponder interference. If
this occurs, try the following.
1. Make sure there are no other im-
mobilizer keys close to the main
switch. Other immobilizer system
keys may cause signal interfer-
ence and prevent the engine from
starting.
2. Use the code re-registering key to
start the engine.
3. If the engine starts, turn it off, and
try starting the engine with the
standard keys.
4. If one or both of the standard keys
do not start the engine, take the
vehicle and all 3 keys to a Yamaha
dealer to have the standard keys
re-registered.

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.

addition to any corresponding warning
lights or indicators, the following warn-
ing messages will display accordingly.

This meter indicates the temperature
of the coolant, and thereby the engine.
The coolant temperature varies with
changes in the weather and engine
load. If the “H” segment and the cool-
ant temperature warning indicator start
flashing, stop the vehicle and let the
engine cool.

Rear brake lever
The rear brake lever is located on the

EAU66680
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.

Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, follow
these instructions.
1. Before refueling, turn off the en-
gine and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters
and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When
refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler
hole. Stop filling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the filler
tube. Because fuel expands when
it heats up, heat from the engine or
the sun can cause fuel to spill out
of the fuel tank.3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately. NOTICE: Immediately
wipe off spilled fuel with a clean,
dry, soft cloth, since fuel may
deteriorate painted surfaces or
plastic parts.
[ECA10072]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel
tank cap.
WARNING
EWA15152
Gasoline is poisonous and can
cause injury or death. Handle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gasoline
by mouth. If you should swallow
some gasoline or inhale a lot of gas-
oline vapor, or get some gasoline in
your eyes, see your doctor immedi-
ately. If gasoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap and water. If gaso-
line spills on your clothing, change
your clothes.
EAU54602
NOTICE
ECA11401
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause severe
damage to internal engine parts,
such as the valves and piston rings,
as well as to the exhaust system.

signed to use premium unleaded gas-
oline with a research octane number of
