hour meter shows the total time the engine has
been running. The voltage display shows the bat-
tery voltage. 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 volt-
age display “VOLT”, and the coolant temperature
display “ ” in the following order: CLOCK →
HOUR → VOLT → → CLOCK
To set the clock

5Voltage display
This display shows the battery voltage. If the bat-
tery voltage is less than 10 volts, “Lo” is displayed,
and if the voltage is above 18 volts, “Hi” is dis-
played.NOTICEECB03570If the voltage display indicates “Lo” or “Hi”,
there may be trouble with the battery charging
circuit or the battery may be faulty. If this oc-
curs, have a Yamaha dealer check or repair the
vehicle.
Coolant temperature displayWhen the coolant is in the normal operating tem-
perature range, the temperature is displayed.
When the coolant temperature rises, the coolant
temperature display will begin to flash. If the cool-
ant temperature continues to rise, the message
“Hi” will flash. TIP
The coolant temperature display can be set to
“°C” or “°F”. To switch the temperature units,
turn the key to “ ” (off), then while holding the
“RESET” button pushed, turn the key to “ ”
(on).

The radiator fan turns on and off automatically
according to the coolant temperature.
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
starts flashing, approximately 4.0 L (1.06 US gal,
0.88 Imp.gal) of fuel remains. Refuel as soon as
possible.
TIPIf the electrical circuit for the fuel gauge is not
working correctly, all display segments will flash
repeatedly. Have a Yamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle. Brightness control mode
This mode allows you to adjust the brightness of
the multi-function display when the vehicle is
stopped.
To adjust the brightness1. Push the “SELECT” button for 2 seconds.

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
EBU19226Inspect your vehicle each time you use it to make sure the vehicle is in safe operating condition. Always
follow the inspection and maintenance procedures and schedules described in the Owner’s Manual.
WARNING
EWB00482Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an accident or equip-
ment damage. Do not operate the vehicle if you find any problem. If a problem cannot be corrected
by the procedures provided in this manual, have the vehicle inspected by a Yamaha dealer. Before using this vehicle, check the following points:
ITEMROUTINE PAGE
Fuel • Check fuel level in fuel tank,
and add recommended fuel if neces-
sary.
• Check fuel line for leakage. Correct if necessary. 5-22, 6-3
Engine oil • Check oil level in engine, and add recommended oil to specified
level if necessary.
• Check ATV for oil leakage. Correct if necessary. 6-3, 9-19
Final gear oil • Check ATV for oil leakage. Correct if necessary. 6-3, 9-24
Differential gear oil • Check ATV for oil leakage. Correct if necessary. 6-3, 9-26
Coolant • Check coolant level in reservoir, and add recommended coolant to
specified level if necessary.
• Check cooling system for leakage. Correct if necessary. 6-3, 9-28

EBU38000FuelMake sure there is sufficient gasoline in the tank
before starting off. Refuel if necessary. (See page
5-22.)EBU19561Engine oilMake sure that the engine oil is at the specified
level. Add oil as necessary. (See page 9-19.)EBU19591Final gear oilMake sure that the final gear oil is at the specified
level. Add oil as necessary. (See page 9-24.)EBU19601Differential gear oilMake sure that the differential gear oil is at the
specified level. Add oil as necessary. (See page
9-26.)EBU19632CoolantMake sure that the coolant is at the specified level.
Add coolant as necessary. (See page 9-28.)
TIPThe coolant level must be checked on a cold en-
gine since the level varies with engine tempera-
ture. EBU28533Front and rear brakesBrake levers and brake pedal
Check that there is no free play in the front
brake lever. If there is free play, have a Yamaha
dealer check the brake system.
 Check for correct free play in the rear brake le-
ver and brake pedal. If the free play is incorrect,
adjust it. (See page 9-44.)
 Check operation of the levers and pedal. They
should move smoothly and there should be a
firm feeling when the brake is applied. If not,
have a Yamaha dealer check them.
Brake fluid level (front brake)
Check the brake fluid level. Add fluid if necessary.
