Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in the tank.
WARNING
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are extremely
flammable. To avoid fires and explosions and
to reduce the risk of injury when refueling, fol-
low these instructions.1. Before refueling, turn off the engine and be
sure that no one is sitting in the vehicle.
Never refuel while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or other sourc-
es of ignition such as the pilot lights of water
heaters and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Because fuel ex-
pands when it heats up, heat from the engine
or the sun can cause fuel to spill out of the
fuel tank.
3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.

Shifting: neutral to reverse
WARNING
Before you shift into reverse, make sure there
are no obstacles or people behind you. When it
is safe to proceed, go slowly. Hitting an obsta-
cle or person could result in serious injury or
death.1. Stop the vehicle, take your foot off the accel-
erator pedal, and check behind you.
2. Apply the brake pedal.
3. Shift from neutral to reverse or vice versa by
moving the drive select lever along the shift
guide.
When in reverse, the reverse indicator
light should be on. Due to the synchroniz-

may not come on until the vehicle starts
moving.
If the light does not come on, ask a
Yamaha dealer to inspect the reverse in-
dicator light electrical circuit.

avoid burns or fires, make sure that the engine
is stopped and the exhaust system is cool be-
fore cleaning the spark arrester. Do not start
the engine while cleaning the exhaust system.1. Remove the bolts.
2. Remove the tailpipe by pulling it out of the
muffler, and then remove the gasket.
3. Tap the tailpipe lightly, and then use a wire
brush to remove any carbon deposits from
the spark arrester portion of the tailpipe and
inside of the tailpipe housing.
4. Install the gasket, and then insert the tailpipe
into the muffler and align the bolt holes.
