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
“ON”. 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 “ON”,
or if the warning light remains on, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.NOTICE
ECA10022
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
6-33 for further instructions.
EAUT1935
Engine trouble warning light “ ”
This warning light flashes or stays on if
an electrical circuit monitoring the en-
gine is not working correctly. If this oc-
curs, have a Yamaha dealer check the
self-diagnosis system.
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by turning the key to
“ON”. 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 “ON”,
or if the warning light remains on, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.

TachometerThe electric tachometer allows the rider
to monitor the engine speed and keep it
within the ideal power range.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the ta-
chometer needle will sweep once
across the r/min range and then return
to zero r/min in order to test the electri-
cal circuit.NOTICE
ECA10032
Do not operate the engine in the ta-
chometer red zone.Red zone: 9500 r/min and above1. Tachometer

TIPThe coolant should be between theminimum and maximum level marks.3. If the coolant is at or below the minimum level mark, remove pan-
el C and the reservoir cap. (See
page 6-8.) WARNING! Remove
only the coolant reservoir cap.
Never attempt to remove the ra-
diator cap when the engine is
hot.
[EWA15162]
4. Add coolant or distilled water to raise the coolant to the maximum
level mark, and install the coolant
reservoir cap and the panel. NO-
TICE: 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 cool-
ant, replace it with coolant as
soon as possible, otherwise the
cooling system will not be pro-
tected against frost and corro-
sion. If water has been added to
the coolant, have a Yamaha
dealer check the antifreeze con- tent of the coolant as soon as
possible, otherwise the effec-
tiveness of the coolant will be
reduced.
[ECA10473]
EAU33032
Changing the coolant
The coolant must be changed at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart. Have a
Yamaha dealer change the coolant.
WARNING! Never attempt to remove
the radiator cap when the engine is
hot.

WARNING
EWAT1041
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.
Place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radiator cap, and then slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the de-
tent to allow any residual pressure to escape. When the hissing sound has stopped, press down on the capwhile turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.
TIPIf coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily us
ed 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.
