seconds, and then release it. The
minute digits will start flashing.
6. Use the “TRIP” switch to set the minutes.
7. Push the “TRIP” switch for three seconds, and then release it to
start the clock.
Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The segments of
the fuel meter disappear from “F” (full)
towards “E” (empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When the last segment of
the fuel meter starts flashing, refuel as
soon as possible.
TIP If a problem is detected in the fuel
meter, the all segments will flash
repeatedly. If this occurs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
 When approximately 2.4 L (0.63
US gal, 0.53 Imp.gal) of fuel re-
mains in the fuel tank, the last seg-
ment of the fuel meter will start
flashing. The display will automat-
ically change to the fuel reserve
tripmeter “F Trip” and start count-
ing the distance traveled from that
point.Coolant temperature meter The coolant temperature meter indi-
cates the temperature of the coolant.
If the top segment flashes, stop the ve-
hicle, then stop the engine, and let the
engine cool. (See page 7-36.)
NOTICE
ECA10022
Do not continue to operate the en-
g
ine if it is overheatin g.TIP If a problem is detected in the
coolant temperature meter, all
segments will flash repeatedly. If
this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle as soon as pos-
sible.
 The coolant temperature varies
with changes in the weather and
engine load.

4 Instantaneous fuel consumption
d
isplay
This function calculates the fuel con-
sumption under current riding condi-
tions.
The instantaneous fuel consumption
can be displayed as either
“Consumption_ _._km/L”,
“Consumption_ _._L/100 km” or
“Consumption_ _ _._MPG” (for the
UK).  “Consumption_ _._km/L”: The
distance that can be traveled on
1.0 L of fuel under the current rid-
ing conditions is shown. 
“Consumption_ _._L/100 km”:
The amount of fuel necessary to
travel 100 km under the current
riding conditions is shown.
 “Consumption_ _ _._MPG” (for the
UK): The distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 Imp.gal of fuel un-
der the current riding conditions is
shown.
TIPIf traveling at speeds under 10 km/h (6
mi/h), “_ _._” is displayed.Averag e speed d isplay
The average speed “Average_ _ _kmh”
or “Average_ _ _MPH” (for the UK) is
displayed. The average speed is the total distance
divided by the total time (with the main
switch in the “ON” position) since the
display was last reset to zero.
This display shows the average speed
since it was last reset.
To reset the average speed display,
select it by pushing the “INFO” switch,
and then push the “INFO” switch for
three seconds.
Warnin
g messa ge function
This function displays a warning mes-
sage corresponding to the current
warning.
“L FUEL”: Appears when the last seg-
ment of the fuel meter starts flashing. If
“L FUEL” is displayed, refuel as soon
as possible.
“H TEMP”: Appears when the top seg-
ment of the coolant temperature meter
starts flashing. If “H TEMP” is dis-
played, stop the vehicle, then stop the
engine, and let the engine cool.
“ICE”: Appears when the icy road
warning indicator “ ” starts flashing. If
“ICE” is displayed, be careful of icy
roads.

EAU1559B
Inspect your vehicle each time you use it to make sure the vehicle is in safe operating condition. Always follow the inspection
and maintenance procedures and schedules described in the Owner’s Manual.
WARNING
EWA11152
Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an acci dent or equipment damag e.
Do not operate the vehicle if you fin d any pro blem. If a pro blem cannot be corrected b y the proce dures provi ded in
this manual, have the vehicle inspecte d b y a Yamaha dealer.Before using this vehicle, check the following points:
ITEM CHECKS PAGE
Fuel • Check fuel level in fuel tank.
• Refuel if necessary.
• Check fuel line for leakage.
• Check fuel tank overflow hose for obstructions, cracks or damage, and check
hose connection. 4-18, 4-19
En gine oil • Check oil level in engine.
• If necessary, add recommended oil to specified level.
• Check vehicle for oil leakage. 7-10
Final transmission oil • Check vehicle for oil leakage. 7-13
Coolant • Check coolant level in reservoir.
• If necessary, add recommended coolant to specified level.
• Check cooling system for leakage. 7-14
Front brake • Check operation.
• If soft or spongy, have Yamaha dealer bleed hydraulic system.
• Check brake pads for wear.
• Replace if necessary.
• Check fluid level in reservoir.
• If necessary, add specified brake fluid to specified level.
• Check hydraulic system for leakage. 7-22, 7-23, 7-23

CoolantThe coolant level should be checked
regularly. In addition, the coolant must
be changed at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance chart.TIPIf genuine Yamaha coolant is not avail-
able, use an ethylene glycol antifreeze
containing corrosion inhibitors for alu-
minum engines and mix with distilled
water at a 1:1 ratio.
EAU78580
To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on the center- stand.
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.2. Check the coolant level through
the check window.TIPThe coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
3. If the coolant is at or below theminimum level mark, remove the
left floorboard mat by pulling it up.
4. Remove the coolant reservoir cov- er.
Recommen ded coolant:
YAMALUBE coolant
Coolant quantity: Coolant reservoir (max level mark):0.18 L (0.19 US qt, 0.16 Imp.qt)
Radiator (including all routes): 1.10 L (1.16 US qt, 0.97 Imp.qt)

Do not remove the ra diator cap when the en gine an d ra diator are hot. Scal din g hot flui d an d steam may be
b lown out un der pressure, which coul d cause serious injury. Be sure to wait until the en gine has coole d.
 Place a thick ra g, like a towel, over the ra diator cap, an d then slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the
d etent to allow any resi dual pressure to escape. When the hissin g soun d has stoppe d, press d own on the cap
while turnin g it counterclockwise, an d 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.
