Coolant temperature warning light
“”
This warning light comes on if the
engine overheats. If this occurs, stop
the engine immediately and allow the
engine to cool.
The electrical circuit of the warning
light can be checked by turning the
key to “ON”. The warning light should
come on for a few seconds, and then
go off.
If the warning light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to
“ON”, or if the warning light remains
on, have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.
ECA10021
Do not continue to operate the
engine if it is overheating.
TIP
For radiator-fan-equipped vehi-
cles, the radiator fan(s) automati-
cally switch on or off according to
the coolant temperature in the
radiator.
If the engine overheats, see page
6-40 for further instructions.
EAU11534
Engine trouble warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on or flas-
hes if a problem is detected in the
electrical circuit monitoring the engi-
ne. If this occurs, have a Yamaha dea-
ler check the self-diagnosis system.
(See page 3-8 for an explanation of
the self-diagnosis device.)
The electrical circuit of the warning
light can be checked by turning the
key to “ON”. The warning light should
come on for a few seconds, and then
go off.
If the warning light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to
“ON”, or if the warning light remains
on, have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.
EAU11545
ABS warning light “ ” (for ABS
models)
If this warning light comes on or flas-
hes while riding, the ABS may not
work correctly. If this occurs, have aYamaha dealer check the system as
soon as possible. (See page 3-12).
EWA10081
If the ABS warning light comes on
or flashes while riding, the brake
system reverts to conventional bra-
king. Therefore, be careful not to
cause the wheels to lock during
emergency braking. If the warning
light comes on or flashes while
riding, have a Yamaha dealer check
the brake system as soon as possi-
ble.
The electrical circuit of the warning
light can be checked by turning the
key to “ON”. The warning light should
come on for a few seconds, and then
go off.
If the warning light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to
“ON”, or if the warning light remains
on, have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.

fuel in the fuel tank. When the key is
turned to “ON”, all of the display seg-
ments of the fuel meter appear one
after the other and then disappear in
order to test the electrical circuit. The
display segments of the fuel meter
disappear towards “E” (Empty) as the
fuel level decreases. When only one
segment is left near “E” (Empty),
refuel as soon as possible.
TIP
This fuel meter is equipped with a self-
diagnosis system. If the electrical circuit
is defective, all the segments start flas-
hing. If this occurs, have a Yamaha dea-
ler check the electrical circuit.

ABS (for ABS models)
The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic
control system, which acts on the
front and rear brakes independently.
The ABS is monitored by an ECU,
which will have recourse to manual
braking if a malfunction occurs.
EWA10090
The ABS performs best on long
braking distances.
On certain (rough or gravel)
roads, the braking distance
may be longer with than wit-
hout the ABS. Therefore,
always keep a sufficient distan-
ce to the vehicle ahead to
match the riding speed.
TIP
When the ABS is activated, the
brakes are operated in the usual
way. A pulsating action may be
felt at the brake lever or brake
pedal, but this does not indicate
a malfunction.
