Engine trouble warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on or flashes
if a problem is detected in the electrical
circuit monitoring the engine. If this oc-
curs, have a Yamaha dealer check the

The multi-function display can be
set to the basic mode or the mea-
surement mode.

Tripmeter A will automatically re-
set to zero when changing from
the basic mode to the measure-ment mode or vice versa.
Basic mode:

a speedometer

an odometer

two tripmeters (which show the
distance traveled since they werelast set to zero)

a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled since
the fuel level warning light came
on)

a clock

a self-diagnosis device
Measurement mode:

a speedometer

a distance-compensation tripme-
ter (which shows the accumulated
distance traveled since set to zero
and which can be calibrated to pro-
vide a more accurate tripmeter
reading)

a stopwatch (which shows the time
that has been accumulated since
the start of stopwatch measure-
ment)

a self-diagnosis device
TIP
Be sure to turn the key to “ON” be-
fore using the “SELECT 1”, “SE-
LECT 2” and “RESET” buttons.

When the key is turned to “ON”, all
of the display segments of the
multi-function display will appearand then disappear, in order to test
the electrical circuit.

For the U.K. only: To switch the
speedometer and odometer/trip-
meter displays between kilometers

TIPIndicator “ ” comes on when tripmeter
A is selected, and indicator “ ” comeson when tripmeter B is selected.
If the fuel level warning light comes on(see page 3-2), the display will auto-
matically change to the fuel reserve
tripmeter mode “F” and start counting
the distance traveled from that point. In
this case, push the “SELECT 2” button
to switch the display between the vari-
ous tripmeter and odometer modes in
the following order:
fuel reserve tripmeter “F”  odometer
 tripmeter A  tripmeter B  fuel re-
serve tripmeter “F”
TIPThe fuel level warning light may not
function accurately while riding off road
as the fuel level reading changes due to
the movement and inclination of the ve-hicle.
If the fuel level warning light comes on
while riding in the measurement mode,
change to the basic mode and push the
“SELECT 2” button to display the fuel
reserve tripmeter.TIPTo change from the measurement
mode to the basic mode, the stopwatch
and the distance-compensation tripme-ter must be stopped.To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT 2” button, and then
push the “RESET” button for at least
one second. If you do not reset the fuel
reserve tripmeter manually, it will reset
itself automatically and the display will
return to the prior mode after refueling
and traveling 5 km (3 mi).

Fuel tank cap To remove the fuel tank cap
1. Insert the key into the lock and turn
it counterclockwise as shown.
2. Turn the fuel tank cap counter-
clockwise and pull it off.
To install the fuel tank cap
1. Insert the fuel tank cap into the
tank opening with the key inserted
in the lock, and then turn the cap
clockwise.
2. Turn the key clockwise, and then
remove it.
TIPThe fuel tank cap cannot be installed
unless the key is in the lock. In addition,
the key cannot be removed if the cap isnot properly installed and locked.
WARNING
EWA10121
Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly closed and locked beforeriding. Leaking fuel is a fire hazard.
EAU13221
Fuel Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10881
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, followthese instructions.
1. Before refueling, turn off the en-
gine and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters and
clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When
refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler
hole. Stop filling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the filler
tube. Because fuel expands when
it heats up, heat from the engine or
the sun can cause fuel to spill out
of the fuel tank.

WARNING
EWA10400

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, and then
slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the detent to allow any residual pressure to escape. When the hissingsound has stopped, press down on the cap while turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.
TIPIf coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided that it is changed to the recommended coolantas 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.
There is
leakage.
There is
no leakage.
