Coolant temperature display

The coolant temperature display indi-
cates the temperature of the coolant.
Push the “RESET” button to switch the
coolant temperature display to the air
intake temperature display.

NOTE:

When the coolant temperature display
is selected, “C” is displayed for one
second, and then the coolant tempera-
ture is displayed.

CAUTION:

ECA10020

Do not operate the engine if it is
overheated.

Air intake temperature display

The air intake temperature display indi-
cates the temperature of the air drawn
into the air filter case. Push the “RE-
SET” button to switch the coolant tem-
perature display to the air intake
temperature display.

NOTE:

●

Even if the air intake temperature
is set to be displayed, the coolant
temperature warning light comes
on when the engine overheats.

●

When the key is turned to “ON”,
the coolant temperature is auto-
matically displayed, even if the air
intake temperature was displayed
prior to turning the key to “OFF”.

●

When the air intake temperature
display is selected, “A” is displayed
before the temperature.

Self-diagnosis devices

This model is equipped with a self-diag-
nosis device for various electrical cir-
cuits.
If any of those circuits are defective, the
engine trouble warning light will come
on, and then the right display will indi-
cate a two-digit error code.
If the right display indicates any error
codes, note the code number, and then
have a Yamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle.
