warning light is out. Continuous use while
the warning light is on may cause damage to
the engine.
EBU29933Fuel level warning light “ ” (YFM70KDXH)
This warning light comes on when the fuel level
drops below approximately 4.0 L (1.06 US gal,
0.88 Imp.gal). When this occurs, refuel as soon as
possible.
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by setting the engine stop switch to “ ”
and 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.
EBU27287Engine trouble warning light “ ”
YFM70KDXH
This warning light comes on or flashes when an
electrical circuit monitoring the engine is not work-
ing correctly. When this occurs, have a Yamaha
dealer check the self-diagnosis system.
YFM70KPXH / YFM70KPHH / YFM70KPSH /
YFM70KPAH
This warning light comes on or flashes if a problem
is detected in the electrical circuit monitoring the
engine. When this occurs, the display will indicate
an error code (see page 4-9). 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

4On-Command differential gear lock
indicator “ ” and indicator light “DIFF. LOCK”
(YFM70KPSH)
This indicator and indicator light come on when
the On-Command differential gear lock switch is
set to the “LOCK” position.
TIPWhen the On-Command differential gear lock
switch is set to “LOCK” or “4WD”, the
indicator “ ” and the indicator light “DIFF. LOCK”
will flash until the differential gear is completely
locked or unlocked. If the indicator and the indica-
tor light continue to flash, the differential is not
completely locked or unlocked. In this case, start
moving to allow time for the differential to lock or
unlock.

Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle’s traveling
speed. The speedometer can be set to “mph” or
“km/h”. This also changes the odometer and trip-
meter units between miles and kilometers. To
change the display between “mph” and “km/h”,
turn the key to “ ” (off), then while holding the
“SELECT” button pushed, turn the key to “ ”
(on).
Odometer and tripmeters
The odometer shows the total distance traveled
by the vehicle. The odometer can be used for
maintenance and service intervals.
The tripmeters show the distance traveled since
they were last reset. The tripmeters can be used to
record the distance traveled on a single trip, or to
estimate the distance that can be traveled with a
full tank of gas, etc. Push the “SELECT” button to switch between the
odometer “ODO” and the tripmeters “TRIP A” and
“TRIP B” in the following order:
ODO
→ TRIP A → TRIP B → ODO
To reset a tripmeter, set the display to the tripme-
ter you want to reset, then push the “RESET” but-
ton for three seconds.
TIP The odometer will lock at 99999.
The tripmeters will reset and continue counting
after 9999.9 is reached. Clock and hour meter
The clock displays time in 12-hour format.
The hour meter shows the total time the engine
has been running.
Push the “CLOCK” button to switch between the
clock “CLOCK” and the hour meter mode
“HOUR” in the following order:
CLOCK → HOUR → CLOCK
To set the clock1. Set the display to the clock.
2. Push both the “SELECT” button and “RE- SET” button for three seconds. The hour dig-
its will start flashing.

digits will start flashing.
5. Push the “RESET” button to set the minutes.
6. Push the “SELECT” button and then release it to start the clock.
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the amount of fuel in the
fuel tank. The display segments of the fuel gauge
disappear from “F” (full) towards “E” (empty) as
the fuel level decreases. When the “E” segment
disappears and the fuel level warning indicator
flashes, refuel as soon as possible.
TIPThe fuel gauge is equipped with a self-diagnosis
system. If the fuel gauge electrical circuit is not
working correctly, all display segments and the
fuel level warning indicator will flash repeatedly. If
this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer check the ve-
hicle.

flash, and the display will indicate an error code.
If the display indicates an error code, note the
code number and have a Yamaha dealer check
the vehicle.
