The multi-function display is equipped with the
following:

speedometer
 odometer
 two tripmeters
 clock
 hour meter
 fuel gauge
 error code display
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

1. 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.
3. 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.

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-
es with the riding speed. You may lose control
and have an accident if you cannot make a
sharp enough turn for the speed you are trav-
eling.
EBU2660AOn-Command drive switch “2WD/4WD”
(YFM70KPXJ / YFM70KPAJ / YFM70KPHJ /
YFM70KPSJ)
Stop the ATV and push this switch to change from
two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive or vice versa.
Select the appropriate drive according to the ter-
rain and riding conditions.
“2WD” (two-wheel drive): power is supplied to
the rear wheels only, giving a smooth ride and
fuel economy.
 “4WD” (four-wheel drive): power is supplied to
the front and rear wheels, giving increased trac-
tion.
WARNING
EWB00164Always stop the ATV before changing from
two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive and vice
versa. The ATV handles differently in two-
wheel drive than in four-wheel drive in some
circumstances. Changing from two-wheel
drive to four-wheel drive or vice versa while
moving may cause the ATV to unexpectedly
handle differently. This could distract the oper-
ator and increase the risk of losing control and
of causing an accident.

EBU18284Throttle leverPush the throttle lever to increase engine speed
and the speed of the ATV. Because the throttle is
spring-loaded, the ATV will decelerate and the en-
gine will return to an idle any time the throttle lever
is released.TIPBefore starting the engine, check the throttle to be
sure it is operating smoothly. Make sure it returns
to the idle position as soon as the lever is released. 1. Throttle lever

Remove the fuel tank cap by turning it counter-
clockwise.EBU18758FuelMake sure there is sufficient gasoline in the tank.
WARNING
EWB02522Gasoline and gasoline vapors are extremely
flammable. To avoid fires and explosions and
to reduce the risk of injury when refueling, fol-
low these instructions. 1. Before refueling, turn off the engine and besure that no one is sitting on the vehicle. Nev-
er refuel while smoking, or while in the vicinity
of sparks, open flames, or other sources of
ignition such as the pilot lights of water heat-
ers and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When refueling, be sure to insert the pump nozzle into the fuel
tank filler hole. Stop filling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the filler tube. Because
fuel expands when it heats up, heat from the
engine or the sun can cause fuel to spill out of
the fuel tank.

TIPWhen refueling, check that the gasoline pump
nozzle has same fuel identification mark. 3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.
NOTICE: Immediately wipe off spilled fuel
with a clean, dry, soft cloth, since fuel may
deteriorate painted surfaces or plastic
parts.

WARNING
EWB02532Gasoline is poisonous and can cause injury 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. If gasoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap and water. If gasoline spills on
your clothing, change your clothes. NOTICEECB00071Use only unleaded gasoline. The use of leaded
gasoline will cause severe damage to internal
engine parts, such as the valves and piston
rings, as well as to the exhaust system. Your Yamaha engine has been designed to use
regular unleaded gasoline with a research octane
number of 91 or higher (95 or higher for Europe). If
knocking (or pinging) occurs, use a gasoline of a
different brand. Use of unleaded fuel will extend
spark plug life and reduce maintenance costs.
