The electrical circuit of the indicator light can
be checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). If
the indicator light does not come on initially
when the key is turned to “ ” (on), or if the
indicator light remains on, have a Yamaha
dealer check the electrical circuit.TIPSee page 4-12 for a detailed explanation of
this indicator light and how to set it. EBU35282Coolant temperature warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on when the coolant
temperature, and therefore the engine, is out-
side its normal operating temperature range.
The warning light comes on in blue to inform
the driver that the vehicle should be warmed
up. After the engine is started, warm it up until
the warning light goes off.
The vehicle can be operated normally when
the warning light is off.The warning light comes on in red when the
engine is overheating. If the red light comes
on, stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so and allow the engine to idle for about 10
minutes. If the warning light does not go off,
stop the engine and allow it to cool. (See page
8-66.)
TIPThe coolant temperature warning light can be
checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). The
warning light should come on in purple briefly
(which confirms that both the blue and red in-
dicators are okay) and then go off. If the warn-
ing light does not come on at all, comes on in
red or blue, or if the warning light remains on,
have a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle. NOTICEECB02040
The engine may overheat if the vehicle is
overloaded. If this happens, reduce the
load to specification.

After restarting, make sure that the
warning light is out. Continuous use
while this warning light is on may cause
damage to the engine. EBU31340Engine 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-diagno-
sis system. (See page 4-12 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.
EBU33041Electric Power Steering warning light
“EPS”
This warning light comes on when the key is
turned to “ ” (on), and then goes off once
the engine is started. If the warning light re-
mains on or comes on after the engine is
started, the EPS system may not be working
correctly. When this occurs, have a Yamaha
dealer check the EPS system.
The electrical circuit of the warning light can
be checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). If
the warning light does not come on, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical circuit.TIPIf the steering load is too heavy (e.g., exces-
sive steering use at slow speed or when op-
erating in deep mud, sand, or snow), the
power assist is reduced to protect the EPS
motor from overheating.

Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of fuel in
the fuel tank. The display segments of the fuel
meter disappear from “F” (full) towards “E”
(empty) as the fuel le vel decreases. When the
last segment on the left disappears and the
fuel level warning indicator flashes, refuel as
soon as possible.
TIPThis fuel meter is equipped with a self-diag-
nosis system. If a problem is detected in an
electrical circuit, all the display segments and
fuel level warning indicator start flashing. If
this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit. Transmission gear display

This display shows the selected gear. The
neutral position is indicated by “N” and by the
neutral indicator light “N”.
Self-diagnosis device
This model is equipped with a self-diagnosis
device for various electrical circuits.
If a problem is detected in any of those cir-
cuits, 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.

WARNING
EWB03500These shock absorber assemblies contain
highly pressurized nitrogen gas. Read and
understand the following information be-
fore handling the shock absorber assem-
blies.
 Do not tamper with or attempt to open
the cylinder assemblies.
 Do not subject the shock absorber as-
sembly to an open flame or other high
heat source. This may cause the unit to
explode due to excessive gas pressure. 
Do not deform or damage the cylinders
in any way. Cylinder damage will result in
poor damping performance.
 Do not dispose of a damaged or worn
out shock absorber assembly yourself.
Take the shock absorber assembly to a
Yamaha dealer for any service.
EBU35052Auxiliary DC jackThe auxiliary DC jack is located at the left side
of the glove compartment. The auxiliary DC
jack can be used for suitable work lights, ra-
dios, etc. The auxiliary DC jack should only be
used when the engine is running and the
lights are turned off.NOTICEECB02250 Do not use accessories requiring more
than the stated maximum capacity. Do-
ing so may overload the circuit and cau-
se the fuse to blow.
Low speed compression damping setting
Minimum (soft):4 turn(s) out from the fully turned in posi-
tion
Standard: 1 1/2 turn(s) out from the fully turned in
position
Maximum (hard): Adjusting screw fully turned in

Clutch fluid
Depress and release the clutch pedal five
times. Check to see if any fluid is leaking out
of the hoses, reservoir, or master cylinder.
Check the clutch fluid level and correct if nec-
essary. (See page 8-45.)TIPIf any leakage is found, or if the clutch pedal
offers little resistance, have a Yamaha dealer
service the vehicle. EBU33200FuelMake sure there is sufficient fuel in the tank.
WARNING
EWB02522Gasoline and gasoline vapors are ex-
tremely flammable. To avoid fires and ex-
plosions and to reduce the risk of injury
when refueling, follow these instructions.
1. Before refueling, turn off the engine and
be sure that no one is sitting in the vehi-
cle.
Never refuel while smoking, or while in
the vicinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as the pilot
lights of water heaters and clothes dry-
ers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. 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.
4. Be sure the fuel tank cap is closed se- curely.
WARNING
EWB02532Gasoline is poisonous and can cause inju-
ry 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 immediately.
