 an odometer
 two tripmeters (which show the distance trav-
eled since they were last set to zero)
 a clock 
an hour meter (which shows the total time the
key has been turned to “ON”)
Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the “TRIP/ODO” button switches the dis-
play between the odometer mode “ODO” and the
tripmeter modes “TRIP A” and “TRIP B” in the fol-
lowing order:
ODO → TRIP A → TRIP B → ODO
To reset a tripmeter, select it by pushing the
“TRIP/ODO” button, and then push the
“TRIP/ODO” button for at least three seconds.
The tripmeters can be used to estimate the dis-
tance that can be traveled with a full tank of fuel.
This information will enable you to plan future fuel
stops.
TIPPushing and holding in the “TRIP/ODO” button,
and turning the key to “ON” while the button is
pushed, switches the display between “mph” and

EBU18612Drive select leverThe drive select lever is used to shift your ATV into
the low-range, high-range, neutral, reverse and
park positions. See the “Operating the drive select
lever and driving in reverse” section on page 6-3
for the drive select lever operation.EBU18721Fuel tank capRemove the fuel tank cap by turning it counter-
clockwise.
EBU18757FuelMake sure there is sufficient gasoline in the tank.
WARNING
EWB02522Gasoline and gasoline vapors are extremely
flammable. To avoid fires and explosions and
to reduce the risk of injury when refueling, fol-
low these instructions. 1. Before refueling, turn off the engine and besure that no one is sitting on the vehicle. Nev-
er refuel while smoking, or while in the vicinity

4of sparks, open flames, or other sources of
ignition such as the pilot lights of water heat-
ers 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.
3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.NOTICE: Immediately wipe off spilled fuel
with a clean, dry, soft cloth, since fuel may
deteriorate painted surfaces or plastic
parts.
[ECB00982]
4. Turn the fuel tank cap fully clockwise to make sure it is securely closed.
WARNING
EWB02532Gasoline is poisonous and can cause injury or
death. Handle gasoline with care. Never siphon
gasoline by mouth. If you should swallow some
gasoline or inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or get
some gasoline in your eyes, see your doctor

Recommended fuel:Regular unleaded gasoline only
For Europe: Regular unleaded gasoline only
with a research octane number of 95 or
higher

immediately. If gasoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap and water. If gasoline spills on
your clothing, change your clothes.
NOTICEECB00071Use only unleaded gasoline. The use of leaded
gasoline will cause severe damage to internal
engine parts, such as the valves and piston
rings, as well as to the exhaust system. Your Yamaha engine has been designed to use
regular unleaded gasoline with a research octane
number of 91 or higher (95 or higher for Europe). If
knocking (or pinging) occurs, use a gasoline of a
different brand. Use of unleaded fuel will extend
spark plug life and reduce maintenance costs.EBU18821Fuel cockThe fuel cock supplies fuel from the tank to the
carburetor while also filtering it.
The fuel cock lever positions are explained as fol-
lows and shown in the illustrations. OFF
With the fuel cock lever in this position, fuel will not
flow. Always turn the fuel cock lever to this posi-
tion when the engine is not running.

Turn the fuel cock lever to this position if you run
out of fuel while riding. When this occurs, refuel as
soon as possible and be sure to turn the fuel cock
lever back to “ON”!
