EBU17831Reverse indicator light “ ”
This indicator light comes on when the transmis-
sion is in the reverse position.EBU29924Coolant temperature warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on when the engine
overheats. When this occurs, stop the engine as
soon as it is safe to do so and allow it to cool for
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
vehicle.TIPThe radiator fan is automatically switched on or
off according to the coolant temperature in the
radiator.
 If the engine overheats, see page 9-57 for fur-
ther instructions.
NOTICEECB00011The engine may overheat if the ATV is over-
loaded. In this case, reduce the load to spec-
ification.
 Start the engine after making sure that the
warning light is out. Continuous use while
the warning light is on may cause damage to
the engine. EBU29933Fuel level warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on when the fuel level
drops below approximately 2.9 L (0.77 US gal,
0.64 Imp.gal). When this occurs, refuel as soon as
possible.
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by setting the engine stop switch to “ ”
and 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.

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. 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. EBU27947To check the coolant level1. Park the ATV on a level surface. 2. Wait for the engine to cool for an accurate
reading.
3. Look at the coolant level in the coolant reser- voir.
4. If the coolant is at or below the minimum level mark, 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, and
then install the reservoir cap. NOTICE: If
coolant is not available, use distilled water
or soft tap water instead. Do not use hard
water or salt water since they are harmful
to the engine. If water has been used in-
stead of coolant, replace 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 content of the coolant as
soon as possible, otherwise the effective-
ness 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 panel A. (See page 9-10.)
3. Place a container under the engine, and then
remove the coolant drain bolt and its gasket.

6. Disconnect the coolant reservoir hose on the
coolant reservoir side, and then drain the
coolant from the coolant reservoir.
7. After draining the coolant, thoroughly flush the cooling system with clean tap water.
8. Install the coolant drain bolt and its new gas- ket, and then tighten the bolt to the specified
torque.

9. Connect the coolant reservoir hose.
10. Pour the recommended coolant into the res- ervoir to the maximum level mark, and then
install the reservoir cap.
11. Pour the recommended coolant into the radi- ator until it is full, and then install the radiator
cap.
12. 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. 13. 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.
14. Install the panel.EBU2680ACleaning the air filter elementThe air filter element should be cleaned at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart. Clean or, if necessary, replace
the air filter element more frequently if you are rid-
ing in unusually wet or dusty areas.
TIPThere is a check hose at the bottom of the air filter
case. If dust or water collects in this hose, empty
the hose and clean the air filter element and air fil-
ter case. 1. Park the ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove the seat. (See page 5-12.)
3. Remove the air filter case cover by unhooking the holders.1. Air filter case check hose

9If an electrical problem is suspected, check the
fuse and replace it if necessary as follows.
NOTICEECB00641To prevent accidental short-circuiting, turn off
the main switch when checking or replacing a
fuse. 1. Turn off all electrical systems. (See page 5-1.)
2. Remove the seat. (See page 5-12.) 3. Remove the blown fuse, and then install a
new fuse of the specified amperage.
WARNING! Always use a fuse of the spec-
ified rating, and never use a substitute ob-
ject in place of the proper fuse. An
improper fuse or a substitute object can
cause damage to the electrical system,
which could lead to a fire.

WARNING
EWB02291Wait 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 put a thick rag over the cap when opening.
Allow any remaining pressure to escape before completely removing the cap. TIP
Tap water can be used in an emergency. Change to the recommended coolant as soon as possible.
 The engine will tend to overheat if the radiator is caked with mud, or if the ATV is overloaded. Wait until the
engine has cooled.
Check the coolant level in the
reservoir and radiator.
The coolant level
is OK.The coolant level is low.
Check the cooling system
for leakage.
