3 the “Trip” button for at least one sec-
ond. The tripmeter can be used
together with the fuel gauge to esti-
mate the distance that can be trav-
eled with a full tank of fuel. This infor-
mation will enable you to plan future
fuel stops.

Fuel gaugeFuel gaugeThe fuel gauge indicates the amount
of fuel in the fuel tank. The needle
moves towards “E” (Empty) as the
fuel level decreases. When the nee-
dle reaches the red line, refuel as
soon as possible.NOTE:
Do not allow the fuel tank to empty
itself completely.

Coolant temperature gaugeCoolant temperature gaugeThis gauge indicates the coolant tem-
perature when the main switch is on.
The engine operating temperature
will vary with changes in weather and
engine load. If the needle points to
the red mark, stop your scooter and
let the engine cool. (See page
6-38 for details.)

minimum level mark, open the
reservoir cap, add coolant to the
maximum level mark, and then
close the reservoir cap.

wNever attempt to remove the radia-
tor cap when the engine is hot.5. Install the coolant reservoir cover
by installing the screw.NOTE:
The radiator fan is automatically
switched on or off according to the
coolant temperature in the radiator. If
the engine overheats, see page 6-38
for further instructions.
EC000080
cC8If coolant is not available, use
distilled water or soft tap water
instead. Do not use hard water
or salt water since it is harmful
to the engine.
8If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with
coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise the engine may not
be sufficiently cooled and the
cooling system will not be pro-
tected against frost and corro-
sion.
8If water has been added to the
coolant, have a Yamaha dealer
check the antifreeze content of
the coolant as soon as possi-
ble, otherwise the effective-
ness of the coolant will be
reduced.
