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

Final gear oil
1. Oil filler cap
The final gear case must be checked
for oil leakage before each ride. If any
leakage is found, have a Yamaha dea-
ler check and repair the vehicle. In
addition, the final gear oil must be
changed as follows at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EWA10370
s s
WARNING
Make sure that no foreign
material enters the final gear
case.
Make sure that no oil gets on
the tire or wheel.
To check the final gear oil level
1. Place the vehicle on the centers-
tand.
1. Drain bolt
NOTE:
The final gear oil level must be
checked on a cold engine.
Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking
the oil level. A slight tilt to the side
can result in a false reading.
2. Remove the oil filler bolt, and
then check the oil level in the final
gear case.
NOTE:
The oil level should be at the brim of
the filler hole.
3. If the oil is below the brim of the
filler hole, add sufficient oil of the
recommended type to raise it to
the correct level.
4. Install the oil filler bolt, and then
tighten it to the specified torque.
To change the final gear oil
1. Place an oil pan under the final
gear case to collect the used oil.
2. Remove the oil filler bolt and
drain bolt to drain the oil from the
final gear case.
3. Install the final gear oil drain bolt,
and then tighten it to the speci-
fied torque.
