Engine trouble warning light "
This warning light comes on if a prob-
lem is detected in the electrical circuit
monitoring the engine. If this occurs,
have a Yamaha dealer check the self-
4
diagnosis system. (See page 4-14 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.
TIP
This warning light will come on when
the key is turned to "ON" and the start
switch is pushed, but this does not in-
dicate a malfunction.
ABS warning light "
In normal operation, the ABS warning
light comes on when the key is turned
EAU46443
to "ON", and goes off after traveling at
"
a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or higher.
If the ABS warning light:
 does not come on when the key is
turned to "ON"
 comes on or flashes while riding
 does not go off after traveling at a
speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or high-
er
The ABS may not work correctly. If any
of the above occurs, have a Yamaha
dealer check the system as soon as
possible. (See page 4-18 for an expla-
nation of the ABS.)
WARNING
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

engine is running, the ABS warning
light will come on, but this is not a mal-
function.

speeds and is used to inform the rider
when it is time to shift to the next high-
er gear. (See "Select mode" on page

4-8 for an explanation on how to set
this indicator light.)
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
