de warnin g “Err”
When an internal error occurs (e.g.,
communication with a system control-
ler has been cut off), the error mode
warning will appear as follows.
“Err” and “ ” indicator light indicates
an ECU error.
“Err” only indicates an ABS ECU error.
TIPDepending on the nature of the error,
the display may not function properly
and the traction control system set-
tings may be impossible to change.
Additionally, ABS may not function
properly. Use extra care when braking
and have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle immediately.Auxiliary system warnin g“”
This icon appears if a problem is de-
tected in a non-engine-related system.

perature reaches 116 °C (241 °F) or
higher. Stop the vehicle and turn off the
engine. Allow the engine to cool.

CoolantThe coolant level should be checked
regularly. In addition, the coolant must
be changed at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance chart.TIPIf genuine Yamaha coolant is not avail-
able, use an ethylene glycol antifreeze
containing corrosion inhibitors for alu-
minum engines and mix with distilled
water at a 1:1 ratio.
EAU20097
To check the coolant level
Since the coolant level varies with en-
gine temperature, check when the en-
gine is cold.
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface. 2. With the vehicle in an upright posi-
tion, look at the coolant level in the
reservoir.
3. If the coolant is at or below the minimum level mark, remove the
coolant reservoir cap. WARNING!
Remove only the coolant reser-
voir cap. Never attempt to re-
move the ra diator cap when the
en gine is hot.
[EWA15162]
4. Add coolant to the maximum level
mark. NOTICE: If coolant is not
availa ble, use d istilled water or
soft tap water instead . Do not
use har d water or salt water
since it is harmful to the en gine.
If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with cool-
ant as soon as possi ble, other-
wise the coolin g system will not
b e protecte d a gainst frost an d
corrosion. If water has been
a dde d to the coolant, have a
Yamaha dealer check the anti-
freeze content of the coolant as
soon as possi ble, otherwise the
effectiveness of the coolant will
b e re duce d.
