2. “SELECT” b\ftton
3. “\bESET” b\ftton
TIP
The clock is displayed even when the
key is t\frned to "OFF".
To set the clock:
1. P\fsh the "SELECT" b\ftton for atleast fo\fr seconds.
2. When the ho\fr digits start flash- ing, p\fsh the "\bESET" b\ftton to
set the ho\frs.
3. P\fsh the "SELECT" b\ftton, and the min\fte digits will start flashing.
4. P\fsh the "\bESET" b\ftton to set the min\ftes.
5. P\fsh the "SELECT" b\ftton and then release it to \bstart the clock.
Fuel meter
1. F\fel meter
With the key in the "ON" position, the
f\fel meter indicates the amo\fnt of f\fel
in the f\fel tank. When the key is t\frned
to "ON", all of the display segments of
the f\fel meter will appear one after the
other and then disappear in order to
test the electrical circ\fit. The display
segments of the f\fel meter disappear
towards "E" (Empty) as the f\fel level
decreases. When only one segment is
left near "E" (Empty), ref\fel as soon
as possible.
TIP
This f\fel meter is eq\fipped with a self-
diagnosis system. If the electrical cir-
c\fit is defective, all the segments will
start flashing. If this occ\frs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical cir-
c\fit.

Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, follow
these instructions.\4

2. Do not ove\bf\fll the fuel tank. When \befuel\fng, be su\be to \fnse\bt the
pump nozzle \fnto the fuel tank
f\flle\b hole. Stop f\fll\fng when the fu-

●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 cau\Mse serious injury. Be sure to wait until th\Me engine has coole\Md.
●\ffter 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 hiss-
ing sound has stopped, press down on the cap while turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.
TIP
If coolant is not a\failable, ta\b water can be tem\borarily used instead, \bro\fided that it is changed to the recommended
coolant as soon as \b\sossible.
Wait until the

in the reser\foir and radiator.
The coolant le\fel is low.
Check the cooling
