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 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. The service tripmeter shows
the distance traveled since it was reset at the last
maintenance.

EBU18102Start switch “ ”
Push this switch to crank the engine with the start-
er. See the starting instructions on page 6-1 prior
to starting the engine.EBU34123Light switch “ / /OFF”
Set this switch to “ ” to turn on the left and right
headlights (low beams) and the taillight. Set the
switch to “ ” to turn on the left and right head-
lights (high beams), the handlebar-mounted light
(YFM70KPXK / YFM70KPAK / YFM70KPHK /
YFM70KPSK / YFM70KPLK), and the taillight. Set
the switch to “OFF” to turn off all the lights.NOTICEECB00046Do not use the headlights with the engine
turned off for an extended period of time. The
battery may discharge to the point that the
starter will not have enough power to crank the
engine. If this should happen, remove the bat-
tery and recharge it. (See page 8-53.) EBU18171Horn switch “ ”
Press the switch to sound the horn.
EBU18192Override switch “OVERRIDE” (YFM70KPXK /
YFM70KPAK / YFM70KPHK / YFM70KPSK /
YFM70KPLK)
Top speed is normally limited when operating in
differential gear lock. If conditions require more
engine power when riding forward, push and hold
this switch to override the differential gear lock
speed limiting function. (See page 4-16.) Releas-
ing the switch restores the speed limiting function.
While the override switch is pushed, the segments
of the speedometer digits will appear as shown in
the figure.

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”
(YFM70KPXK / YFM70KPAK / YFM70KPHK /
YFM70KPSK / YFM70KPLK)
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.

EBU30467On-Command drive switch “4WD/LOCK”
(YFM70KPXK / YFM70KPAK / YFM70KPHK /
YFM70KPSK / YFM70KPLK)
Stop the ATV and push this switch to change from
standard four-wheel drive to four-wheel drive with
the differential locked. Select the appropriate
switch position according to the terrain and the
conditions.
“4WD” (four-wheel drive): power is supplied to
the front and rear wheels, with the front differen-
tial unlocked.
 “LOCK” (four-wheel drive with the differential
gear locked): power is supplied to the front and
rear wheels and the differential gear is locked.
Unlike in four-wheel drive, all wheels turn at the
same speed, giving maximum traction.
WARNING
EWB00132Always stop the ATV before changing from
four-wheel drive to four-wheel-drive differen-
tial gear lock or vice versa.
The ATV handles differently in four-wheel drive
than in differential gear lock in some circum-
stances. Changing from four-wheel drive to
differential gear lock or vice versa while mov-
ing may cause the ATV to handle differently un- expectedly. This could distract the operator
and increase the risk of losing control and
causing an accident.
To access the “4WD/LOCK” switch, set the
“2WD/4WD” switch to “4WD”, and then move the
drive switch lock lever to the right.TIP
When the switch is set to “LOCK” or “4WD”, the
differential gear lock icon and indicator light will
flash until the differential gear is completely
locked or unlocked.1. On-Command drive switch “4WD/LOCK”
