Multi-function meter unit
WARNING
EWA12422
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


an odometer


two tripmeters (which show the
distance traveled since they were
last set to zero)


a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled since
the fuel level warning light came
on)


a stopwatch


a clock


a coolant temperature display


an air intake temperature display


a self-diagnosis device


a display brightness and shift tim-
ing indicator light control mode
TIP

Be sure to turn the key to “ON” be-
fore using the “SELECT” and “RE-
SET” buttons, except for setting
the display brightness and shift
timing indicator light control mode.


For the U.K. only: To switch the
speedometer and odometer/trip-
meter displays between kilometers
and miles, press the “SELECT”
button for at least one second.
Tachometer
The electric tachometer allows the rider
to monitor the engine speed and keep it
within the ideal power range.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the ta-
chometer needle will sweep once
across the r/min range and then return
to zero r/min in order to test the electri-
cal circuit.

If the fuel level warning light comes on
(see page 3-4), the odometer display
will automatically change to the fuel re-serve tripmeter mode “F-TRIP” and
start counting the distance traveled
from that point. In that case, push the
“SELECT” button to switch the display

TIP

The annual checks must be performed every year, except if a kilometer-based maintenance, or for the UK, a
mileage-based maintenance, is performed instead.


From 50000 km (30000 mi), repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 10000 km (6000 mi).


Items marked with an asterisk should be performed by a Yamaha dealer as they require special tools, data and technical
skills.
