Ambient temperature display
Pushing the “SELECT” button for at
least two seconds switches the clock
display to the ambient temperature

ambient temperature from –10 °C to
50 °C in 1 °C increments. The tempe-
rature displayed may vary from the
ambient temperature. Pushing the
“SELECT” button for at least two
seconds switches the ambient tem-
perature display to the clock display.
TIP
If the ambient temperature falls
below –10 °C, a lower temperatu-
re than –10 °C will not be displa-
yed.
If the ambient temperature
climbs above 50 °C, a higher
temperature than 50 °C will not
be displayed.
The accuracy of the temperature
reading may be affected when
riding slowly (approximately
under 20 km/h (12.5 mi/h)) or
when stopped at traffic signals,
railroad crossings, etc.

3. Release the “OIL CHANGE” but-ton, and the oil change indicator
will go off.
TIP
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 must
be reset after the oil change for the
next periodic oil change to be indica-
ted at the correct time. To reset the oil
change indicator before the periodic
oil change interval has been reached,
follow the above procedure, but note
that the indicator will come on for 1.4
seconds after releasing the “OIL CHANGE” button, otherwise repeat
the procedure.
EAU20064
Final transmission oil
The final transmission case must be
checked for oil leakage before each
ride. If any leakage is found, have a
Yamaha dealer check and repair the
scooter. In addition, the final trans-
mission oil must be changed as
follows at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
1. Start the engine, warm up the final transmission oil by riding the
scooter for several minutes, and
then stop the engine.
2. Place the scooter on the centers- tand.
3. Place an oil pan under the final transmission case to collect the

Engine overheatingEWA10400
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may be
blown out under pressure, which could cause serious injury. Be sure to wait until the engine has cooled.
After removing the radiator cap retaining bolt, place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radiator cap, a\
nd then
slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the detent to allow any residual pressure to escape. When the his-
sing sound has stopped, press down on the cap while turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.
TIP
If coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, \
provided that it is changed to the recommended
coolant as soon as possible.

Wait until the
engine has cooled.Check the coolant level in the
reservoir and radiator.
The coolant level
is OK.
The coolant level is low.
Check the cooling system
for leakage.
Have a Yamaha dealer checkand repair the cooling system.
Add coolant. (See TIP.)
Start the engine. If the engine overheats again, have a
Yamaha dealer check and repair the cooling system.
