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.

43. Push the “RESET” button to set the hours.
4. Push the “SELECT” button, and the minute
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.

EBU18192Override switch “OVERRIDE” (YFM70KPSH)
Top speed is normally limited when operating in
differential gear lock. If conditions require more
engine power when riding forward, push and hold
this switch to override the differential gear lock
speed limiting function. (See page 4-13.) Releas-
ing the switch restores the speed limiting function.
While the override switch is pushed, the segments
of the speedometer digits will appear as shown in
the figure.
TIPIf the digits of the speedometer appear as shown
when the switch is NOT being pushed, this could
indicate a malfunction in the electrical system. In
this case, take the ATV to a Yamaha dealer at the
first opportunity.
WARNING
EWB00151Always ride at a slow speed when the ATV is in
four-wheel-drive differential gear lock, and al-
low extra time and distance for maneuvers.
All wheels turn at the same speed when the dif-
ferential is locked, so it takes more effort to
turn the ATV. The effort needed to turn increas-

“4WD”/“LOCK” (YFM70KPSH)
WARNING
EWB00132Always stop the ATV before changing from
four-wheel drive to four-wheel-drive differen-
tial gear lock or vice versa.
The ATV handles differently in four-wheel drive
than in differential gear lock in some circum-
stances. Changing from four-wheel drive to
differential gear lock or vice versa while mov-
ing may cause the ATV to handle differently un-
expectedly. This could distract the operator
and increase the risk of losing control and
causing an accident.
WARNING
EWB00141Always ride at a slow speed when the ATV is in
differential gear lock, and allow extra time and
distance for maneuvers.
All wheels turn at the same speed when the dif-
ferential gear is locked, so it takes more effort
to turn the ATV. The effort needed to turn in-
creases with the riding speed. You may losecontrol and have an accident if you cannot
make a sharp enough turn for the speed you
are traveling.
This ATV is equipped with a switch allowing you to
lock the differential gear when in four-wheel drive.
Select the appropriate switch position according
to the terrain and the conditions.

“4WD” (four-wheel drive): Power is supplied to
the rear and front wheels.
 “LOCK” (four-wheel drive with the differential
gear locked): Power is supplied to the rear and
front wheels and the differential gear is locked.
Unlike in four-wheel drive, all wheels turn at the
same speed.
