Improper tire pressure can cause loss of
control.
Loss of control can result in severe injury or
death.
Turning the ATV in 4WD-LOCK
(“DIFF.LOCK”) takes more effort.
Operate at a slow speed and allow extra
time and distance for maneuvers to avoid
loss of control.

This indicator light comes on when the transmis-
sion is in the reverse position.Furthermore, this indicator light flashes when the
engine is being raced for 10 seconds or more.
TIPIf the indicator light flashes under any other circum-
stances or the speedometer does not show the
speed while riding, have a Yamaha dealer check
the speed sensor circuit.EBU17860Neutral indicator light“”
This indicator light comes on when the transmis-
sion is in the neutral position.EBU17920Coolant 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.NOTICEECB00010The engine may overheat if the ATV is over-
loaded. In this case, reduce the load to spec-
ification.

switch is set to the “LOCK” position.TIPDue to the synchronizing mechanism in the dif-
ferential gear case, the four-wheel-drive indica-
tor may not come on until the ATV starts moving.When the On-Command differential gear lock
switch is set to “LOCK”, the indicator“” and
the indicator light “DIFF. LOCK” will flash until
the differential gear is locked. If the indicator andthe indicator light continue to flash, the differen-
tial is not locked. In this case, start moving to al-

lowing:a speedometeran odometertwo tripmeters (which show the distance trav-
eled since they were last set to zero)a clock
an hour meter (which shows the total time the
engine has been running)
Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the “TRIP/ODO” button switches the dis-
play between the odometer mode “ODO” and the
tripmeter modes “TRIP A” and “TRIP B” in the fol-
lowing order:
ODO → TRIP A → TRIP B → ODO
To reset a tripmeter, select it by pushing the
“TRIP/ODO” button, and then push the
“TRIP/ODO” button for at least three seconds. The
tripmeters can be used to estimate the distance
that can be traveled with a full tank of fuel. This in-
formation will enable you to plan future fuel stops.TIPPushing and holding in the “TRIP/ODO” button,
and turning the key to “ON” while the button is
pushed, switches the display between “mph” and
“km/h”.Clock mode
Pushing the“/” button switches the display

limiting function. (See page 4-8.) Releasing the
switch restores the speed limiting function.
While the override switch is pushed, the segments
of the speedometer digits will appear as shown in
the figure.
TIPIf the digits of the speedometer appear as shown
when the switch is NOT being pushed, this could
indicate a malfunction in the electrical system. In
this case, take the ATV to a Yamaha dealer at the
first opportunity.
WARNING
EWB00150Always ride at a slow speed when the ATV is in
four-wheel-drive differential gear lock, and al-
low extra time and distance for maneuvers.
All wheels turn at the same speed when the dif-
ferential is locked, so it takes more effort to
turn the ATV. The effort needed to turn increas-
es with the riding speed. You may lose control
and have an accident if you cannot make a
sharp enough turn for the speed you are trav-
eling.EBU26606On-Command four-wheel-drive switch
“2WD”/“4WD”
WARNING
EWB00163Always stop the ATV before changing from
two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive and vice
versa. The ATV handles differently in two-
wheel drive than in four-wheel drive in some
circumstances. Changing from two-wheel
drive to four-wheel drive or vice versa while
moving may cause the ATV to unexpectedly
