EBU34931Shift timing indicator light
This indicator light can be set to come on and
go off at the desired engine speeds and is
u s ed t o i n fo rm t h e dr iv er wh e n it i s ti m e t o u p -
shift.
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 4-13 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
8-67.)
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.

Clock, hour meter, voltage display and
coolant temperature display
The clock displays time in 12-hour format.
The hour meter shows the total time the en-
gine has been running.
The voltage display shows the battery volt-
age.
The coolant temperature display shows the
temperature of the coolant.Push the “MODE” button to switch between
the clock “CLOCK”, the hour meter “HOUR”,
the voltage display “VOLTAGE”, and the
coolant temperature display in the following
order:
CLOCK
→ HOUR → VOLTAGE → coolant
temperature → CLOCK
TIPIf the engine overheats, the coolant tempera-
ture warning light will come on, and the cool-
ant temperature display will be automatically
selected. To set the clock1. Set the display to the clock.
2. Push both the “SELECT” button and
“RESET” button for three seconds. The
hour digits will start flashing.
3. Push the “RESET” button to set the hours.

below 0 °C (32 °F), “LO” will be displayed.
When the coolant temperature is between
122 °C (252 °F) and 128 °C (263 °F), the cool-
ant temperature display will flash. In this case,
stop the vehicle in a safe place and let it idle
for 10 minutes. If the message “HI” flashes,
stop the engine and let it cool. (See page
8-67.)TIPThe coolant temperature display can be set
to “°C” or “°F”. To switch the temperature
units, turn the key to “ ” (off), then hold
the “RESET” button pushed and turn the
key to “ ” (on).
 The coolant temperature varies with chang-
es in the weather and engine load.
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
last segment on the left disappears and the
fuel level warning indicator flashes, refuel as
soon as possible.1. Fuel level warning indicator

NOTICEECB03020Do not use oils with a diesel specifica-
tion of “CD” or oils of a higher quality
than specified. In addition, do not use
oils labeled “ENE RGY CONSERVING II”
or higher.
 Make sure that no foreign material en-
ters the oil tank. EBU35322TransmissionMake sure there is no oil leaking from the
transmission case.EBU31760CoolantCheck the coolant level in the coolant reser-
voir when the engine is cold (the coolant level
will vary with engine temperature). The coolant level is satisfactory if it is be-
tween the minimum and maximum level
marks on the coolant reservoir. If the coolant
level is at or below the minimum level mark,
add additional coolant to bring the level up to
maximum level mark. If coolant is not avail-
able, add distilled water. Change the coolant
every two years. (See page 8-33.)
NOTICEECB02120Hard water or salt water is harmful to the
engine. You may use soft water if you can-
not get distilled water. EBU36020Final gearMake sure there is no oil leaking from the final
gear case.
Recommended engine oil type and quantity:
See page 10-1.
Coolant reservoir capacity (up to the maxi-
mum level mark):0.31 L (0.33 US qt, 0.28 Imp.qt)
