EBU26692Indicator lights and warning lights
EBU17830Reverse indicator light “”
This indicator light comes on when the transmis-
sion is in the reverse position.EBU17860Neutral indicator light “”
This indicator light comes on when the transmis-
sion is in the neutral position.EBU28662Coolant temperature warning light “”
This warning light comes on when the engine over-
heats. When this occurs during operation, stop the
engine as soon as it is safe to do so and allow it to
cool down for about 10 minutes.
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by turning the key to “ON”. If the warning
light does not come on, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.CAUTION:ECB00891
The engine may overheat if the ATV is over-
loaded. In this case, reduce the load to spec-
ification.

The engine may also overheat if mud or dirt
has accumulated on the radiator (i.e., after
riding in wet terrain). In this case, see page
8-19 for an explanation on how to access the
radiator.
Start the engine after making sure that the
warning light is out. Continuous use while
the warning light is on may cause damage tothe engine.EBU27280Engine trouble warning light “”
This warning light comes on or flashes when an
electrical circuit monitoring the engine is defective.
When this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer check
the self-diagnosis system. (See page 4-5 for an ex-
planation of the self-diagnosis device.)
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by turning the key to “ON”. If the warning
light does not come on, then go off, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical circuit.EBU27542Electric Power Steering warning light “EPS”
This warning light comes on when the key is turned
to “ON”, and then goes off once the engine is start-
ed. If the warning light remains on or comes on af-ter the engine is started, the EPS system may be
defective. When this occurs, have a Yamaha deal-
er check the EPS system.
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by turning the key to “ON”. If the warning
light does not come on, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.
NOTE:
If the engine is stopped using the engine stop
switch and the key is in the “ON” position, the
EPS warning light comes on to indicate that the
power assistance for the steering is not function-
ing.
If the steering load is too heavy (i.e., excessive
steering use when the ATV is traveling at a slow
speed), the power assist is reduced to protectthe EPS motor from overheating.EBU17961On-Command four-wheel-drive/differential
gear lock indicator “”/“”
The On-Command four-wheel-drive indicator “”
comes on when the On-Command four-wheel-
drive switch is set to the “4WD” position.

4Self-diagnosis device
This model is equipped with a self-diagnosis de-
vice for various electrical circuits.
If any of those circuits are defective, the multifunc-
tion display will indicate a two-digit error code.
If the multifunction display indicates such an error
code, note the code number, and then have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
CAUTION:ECB00810If the multifunction display indicates an error
code, the vehicle should be checked as soonas possible in order to avoid engine damage.
EBU18061Handlebar switches EBU18080Engine stop switch “/”

OPERATION
EBU19900Read the Owner’s Manual carefully before riding
the ATV.
WARNING
EWB00630Read the Owner’s Manual carefully to become
familiar with all controls in order to help pre-
vent any loss of control, which could cause an
accident or injury. If there is a control or func-
tion you do not understand, ask your Yamahadealer.EBU27342Starting the engine
WARNING
EWB00640Always make sure all control cables work
smoothly before you begin riding in cold
weather. If the control cables are frozen or do
not work smoothly, you could be unable to
control the ATV, which could lead to an acci-dent or collision.
CAUTION:ECB00150See the “Engine break-in” section on page 6-4prior to operating the engine for the first time.
1. Turn the main switch to “ON” and the engine
stop switch to “”.CAUTION:ECB00822The coolant temperature warning light and en-
gine trouble warning light should come on,
then go off.
The EPS warning light should come on, then
go off when the engine is started.
If a warning light does not go off, see page 4-2
for the corresponding warning light circuitcheck.
2. Apply the brake pedal, and then shift the drive
select lever into the neutral or park position.
The corresponding indicator light should
come on. If the indicator light does not come
on, have a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.

NOTE:
When in reverse, the reverse indicator light
should come on. If the indicator light does not
come on, have a Yamaha dealer check the elec-
trical circuit.
Due to the synchronizing mechanism in the en-
gine, the indicator light may not come on until theATV starts moving.4. Check behind for people or obstacles, and
then release the brake pedal.
5. Open the throttle lever gradually and continue
to watch to the rear while backing.
WARNING
EWB00720Improper operation in reverse could make you
hit an obstacle or even a person behind you,
resulting in serious injury. When you shift into
reverse, make sure there are no people or ob-
stacles behind you. When it is safe to proceed,go slowly.EBU20682Engine break-in NOTE:
For ATVs equipped with an odometer or an hour
meter, follow the figures given in km (mi) or the
figures given in hours.
For ATVs not equipped with an odometer orhour meter, follow the figures given in hours.
There is never a more important period in the life of
your engine than the first 320 km (200 mi) or 20
hours of riding. For this reason, you should read
the following material carefully.

EBU23211Checking the spark plug The spark plug is an important engine component,
which is easy to check. Since heat and deposits
will cause any spark plug to slowly erode, the spark
plug should be removed and checked in accor-
dance with the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart. In addition, the condition of the spark
plug can reveal the condition of the engine.
To remove the spark plug
1. Remove the spark plug cap.2. Remove the spark plug as shown, with the
spark plug wrench included in the owner’s tool
kit.
To check the spark plug
1. Check that the porcelain insulator around the
center electrode of the spark plug is a medi-
um-to-light tan (the ideal color when the ATV
is ridden normally).
NOTE:If the spark plug shows a distinctly different color,
the engine could be operating improperly. Do not
attempt to diagnose such problems yourself. In-stead, have a Yamaha dealer check the ATV.
