Turn signal indicator lights “c” and
“
d”
The corresponding indicator light flas-
hes when the turn signal switch is
pushed to the left or right.
EAU11080
High beam indicator light “j”
This indicator light comes on when
the high beam of the headlight is swit-
ched on.
EAU11390
Oil change indicator light “z”
1. Oil change indicator
2. Coolant temperature warning light
This indicator light comes on at the
initial 1000 km (600 mi) and every
3000 km (1800 mi) thereafter to indi-cate that the engine oil should be
changed.
If the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator comes on (i.e.
before the periodic oil change interval
has been reached), the indicator light
must be reset after the oil change for
the next periodic oil change to be
indicated at the correct time. (See
page 6-8.)
The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked according to the
following procedure.
1. Set the engine stop switch to “h”
and turn the key to “ON”.
2. Check that the indicator comes
on for a few seconds and then
goes off.
3. If the indicator light does not
come on, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.
NOTE:
The oil change indicator light may
flash when the engine is revved with
the scooter on the centerstand, but
this does not indicate a malfunction.
EAUM1080
Coolant temperature warning light
“
y”
This warning light comes on when the
engine overheats. When this occurs,
stop the engine immediately and
allow the engine to cool.
The electrical circuit of the warning
light can be checked according to the
following procedure.
1. Turn the key to “h”.
2. If the warning light does not
come on, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.
ECA10020
CAUTION
Do not operate the engine if it is
overheated.

4. Add the recommended final gear
oil to the brim of the filler hole.
5. Install the oil filler bolt, and then
tighten it to the specified torque.

leakage. If oil is leaking, check for
the cause.
EAU20070
Coolant
1. Maximum level
2. Minimum level
The coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the coo-
lant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAUS1080
To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on a level surfa-
ce and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
NOTE:
The coolant level must be chec-
ked on a cold engine since the
level varies with engine tempera-
ture.
Make sure that the vehicle is
positioned straight up when
checking the coolant level. A
slight tilt to the side can result in
a false reading.
1. Coolant tank cap
2. Check the coolant level through
the check window.
NOTE:
The coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.

3. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, remove the
front cowling by removing the
screws.
4. Open the reservoir cap, and then
add coolant to the maximum
level mark.
ECA10470
CAUTION
If 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.
If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with coo-
lant as soon as possible, other-
wise the engine may not be
sufficiently cooled and the coo-
ling system will not be protec-
ted against frost and corrosion.
If 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.
5. Close the reservoir cap, and then
install the front cowling by insta-
lling the screws.

Air filter and V-belt case air
filter elements
The air filter and the V-belt case air fil-
ter elements should be cleaned at the
intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
Clean both filter elements more fre-
quently if you are riding in unusually
wet or dusty areas.Cleaning the air filter element
1. Air filter case cover

1. Place the scooter on the centers-
tand.
2. Remove the air filter case cover
by removing the screws.
3. Pull the air filter element out.
