Coolant temperature warning light “”
If the coolant temperature reaches a specific level,
this light comes on to warn that the coolant tem-
perature is too hot. If the light comes on during
operation, stop the engine as soon as it is safe to
do so and allow the engine to cool down for about
10 minutes. (See page 8-158.)
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by turning the key to “ON”. If the warning
light does not come on initially when the key is
turned to “ON”, or if the warning light remains on,
have a Yamaha dealer check the electrical circuit.NOTICE

The engine may overheat if the vehicle is
overloaded. If this happens, reduce the
load to specification.


After restarting, make sure that the warn-
ing light is out. Continuous use while this
warning light is on may cause damage to
the engine.

Engine trouble warning light “”
This warning light comes on or flashes if a problem
is detected in the electrical circuit monitoring the
engine. When this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer
check the self-diagnosis system. (See page 4-23
for an explanation 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 initially when the key is
turned to “ON”, or if the warning light remains on,
have a Yamaha dealer check the electrical circuit.

fuel level decreases. When the “E” segment disap-
pears and the fuel level warning indicator flashes,
refuel as soon as possible.TIPThis fuel meter is equipped with a self-diagnosis
system. If a problem is detected in an electrical cir-
cuit, all the display segments and fuel level warn-
ing indicator start flashing. If this occurs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical circuit.

vice for various electrical circuits.
If a problem is detected in any of those circuits, the
engine trouble warning light comes on or flashes,
and the multi-function display indicates an error
code.
If the multi-function display indicates an error
code, note the code number, and then have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.NOTICEIf the multi-function display indicates an error

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-
ing mechanism in the engine, the light
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.

WARNING
Turn off the engine when performing mainte-
nance unless otherwise specified.

A running engine has moving parts that
can catch on body parts or clothing and
electrical parts that can cause shocks or
fires.


Running the engine while servicing can
lead to eye injury, burns, fire, or carbon
monoxide poisoning – possibly leading to
death. See pages 2-17–2-19 for more infor-
mation about carbon monoxide.WARNING
Brake discs, calipers, drums, and linings can
become very hot during use. To avoid possible
burns, let brake components cool before
touching them.
