EBU17861Neutral indicator light “ ”
This indicator light comes on when the transmis-
sion is in the neutral position.EBU17831Reverse indicator light “ ”
This indicator light comes on when the transmis-
sion is in the reverse position.EBU17971Park indicator light “ ”
This indicator light comes on when the transmis-
sion is in the park position.EBU34562Coolant temperature warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on when the engine
overheats. When this occurs during operation,
stop the engine as soon as it is safe to do so and
allow it to cool down for about 10 minutes.
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by 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.
TIPThe radiator fan turns on or off automatically ac-
cording to the coolant temperature. NOTICEECB02401The engine may overheat if the ATV is over-
loaded. Reduce the load to specification.
The engine may overheat if mud or dirt has
accumulated on the radiator. Gently clean
the radiator. (See page 9-1.)
Continuous use while the warning light is on
will damage the engine. EBU29943Engine trouble warning light “ ”
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.
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). The
warning light should come on for a few seconds,
and then go off.

TIPDo not exceed the specified differential gear oil
quantity when filling. Overfilling will cause the oil
to seep out of the breather hose during and af-
ter riding.
The differential gear case capacity is greater
than the recommended oil quantity, therefore
the oil level cannot be accurately checked from
the oil filler hole. 6. Check the oil filler bolt gasket for damage,
and replace it if necessary.
7. Install the oil filler bolt and its gasket, and then tighten the bolt to the specified torque. 8. Check the differential gear case for oil leak-
age. If oil is leaking, check for the cause.
EBU23472CoolantThe coolant level should be checked regularly. In
addition, the coolant must be changed at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.TIPIf genuine Yamaha coolant is not available, use an
ethylene glycol antifreeze containing corrosion in-
hibitors for aluminum engines and mix with dis-
tilled water at a 1:1 ratio.
Recommended differential gear oil:Yamaha Friction Modified Shaft Drive Gear Oil or SAE 80 API GL-4 Hypoid gear oil
Oil quantity: 0.35 L (0.37 US qt, 0.31 Imp.qt)
Tightening torque: Differential gear oil filler bolt:23 N·m (2.3 kgf·m, 17 lb·ft)
Recommended coolant:YAMALUBE coolant
Coolant quantity: Coolant reservoir (up to full level):0.25 L (0.26 US qt, 0.22 Imp.qt)
Radiator (including all routes): 1.32 L (1.40 US qt, 1.16 Imp.qt)

NOTICEECB02190Mix antifreeze with distilled water only. Howev-
er, if distilled water is not available, soft water
may be used for refilling. Do not use hard water
or salt water since they are harmful to the en-
gine. EBU2712ATo check the coolant level1. Park the ATV on a level surface.TIPThe coolant level must be checked on a cold en-
gine since the level varies with engine tempera-
ture. 2. Check the coolant level in the coolant reser- voir.TIPThe coolant should be between the minimum and
maximum level marks.
3. If the coolant is at or below the minimum levelmark, remove panel C to access the coolant
reservoir. (See page 8-10.)
4. Remove the coolant reservoir cap. WARNING! Remove only the coolant res-
ervoir cap. Never attempt to remove the
radiator cap when the engine is hot.

5. Add coolant to the maximum level mark, in-
stall the reservoir cap, and then install the
panel. NOTICE: If coolant is not available,
use distilled water or soft tap water in-
stead. Do not use hard water or salt water
since they are harmful to the engine. If wa-
ter has been used instead of coolant, re-
place it with coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise the cooling system will not be
protected against frost and corrosion. If
water has been added to the coolant, have
a Yamaha dealer check the antifreeze con- tent of the coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise the effectiveness of the coolant
will be reduced.

To change the coolant
WARNING
EWB01891Wait for the engine and radiator to cool before
removing the radiator cap. You could be
burned by hot fluid and steam blown out under
pressure. Always place a thick rag over the cap
when opening. Allow any remaining pressure
to escape before completely removing the cap. 1. Park the ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove the front carrier and panel F. (See page 8-10.)
3. Remove the radiator cap.

84. Remove panels D and E. (See page 8-10.)
5. Place a container under the engine, and then
remove the coolant drain bolt and its gasket.
(Use a trough or a similar object as shown to
prevent coolant from spilling on the footrest.) 6. Remove the coolant reservoir cap.
7. Disconnect the coolant reservoir hose on the
coolant reservoir side, and then drain the
coolant from the coolant reservoir.

8. After draining the coolant, thoroughly flush
the cooling system with clean tap water.
9. Install the coolant drain bolt and its new gas- ket, and then tighten the bolt to the specified
torque.
10. Connect the coolant reservoir hose.
11. Pour the recommended coolant into the res- ervoir to the maximum level mark, and then
install the reservoir cap. 12. Pour the recommended coolant into the radi-
ator until it is full, and then install the radiator
cap.
13. Start the engine, let it idle for several minutes, and then turn it off.
TIPWhile the engine is idling, check the cooling sys-
tem for leaks. 14. When the engine is cool, remove the radiatorcap to check the coolant level in the radiator.
If it is low, add sufficient coolant until it reach-
es the top of the radiator, and then install the
radiator cap.
15. Install the panels and the front carrier.EBU37113Cleaning the air filterThe main air filter element and sub air filter ele-
ment should be cleaned every 20–40 hours of en-
gine operation. When servicing the air filter
elements, check the air filter case inlet for obstruc-
tions. Check the air filter case rubber joint to the
throttle body and the rubber joint manifold fittings
for an air-tight seal. Tighten all fittings securely to
avoid the possibility of unfiltered air entering the
engine.
