immediately and fill the oil tank with Ya-
malube 2 or equivalent 2-stroke engine
oil of either JASO grade “FC” or ISO
grades “EG-C” or “EG-D”. The warning
light should go off after the 2-stroke en-
gine oil tank has been refilled.
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by turning the key
to “ ”. The warning light should come
on for a few seconds, and then go off.

Do not operate the vehicle until you
know that the engine oil level is suf-
ficient.
EAUM2791
Fuel level warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on when the
fuel level drops below approximately
1.0 L (0.26 US gal, 0.22 Imp.gal). When
this occurs, refuel as soon as possible.
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by turning the key
to “ ”. The warning light should come
on for a few seconds, and then go off.
If the warning light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ ”,
or if the warning light remains on, have

Coolant temperature warning
light “ ”
This warning light comes on if the en-
gine overheats. If this occurs, stop the
engine immediately and allow the en-
gine to cool.
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by turning the key
to “ ”. The warning light should come
on for a few seconds, and then go off.
If the warning light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ ”,
or if the warning light remains on, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.NOTICE
ECA10021
Do not continue to operate the en-
gine if it is overheating.TIP●
For radiator-fan-equipped vehi-
cles, the radiator fan(s) automati-
cally switch on or off according to
the coolant temperature in the ra-
diator.
●
If the engine overheats, see page
6-27 for further instructions.

Speedometer unit (NS50N)The speedometer unit is equipped with
a speedometer, an odometer and a fuel
meter. The speedometer shows riding
speed. The odometer shows the total
distance traveled. The fuel meter indi-
cates the amount of fuel in the fuel tank.

EAU20070
Coolant The coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the cool-
ant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAUM2102
To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.TIP●
The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level
varies with engine temperature.
●
Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking
the coolant level. A slight tilt to the
side can result in a false reading.
2. Check the coolant level through
the check window.TIPThe coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
3. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, remove the
cowling A. (See page 6-6.)
4. Open the reservoir cap, and then
add coolant to the maximum level
mark. WARNING! Remove only
the coolant reservoir cap. Never
attempt to remove the radiator
cap when the engine is hot.
[EWA15161]
NOTICE: If coolant is not
available, use distilled water or
soft tap water instead. Do not
use hard water or salt water
since it is harmful to the engine.
If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with cool-
ant as soon as possible, other-wise the cooling system will not
be protected against frost and
corrosion. If water has been
added to the coolant, have a
Yamaha dealer check the anti-
freeze content of the coolant as
soon as possible, otherwise the
effectiveness of the coolant will
be reduced.
[ECA10472]
5. Close the reservoir cap, and then
install the cowling.
