Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the “SELECT” button switches the display
between the odometer mode “ODO” and the trip-
meter modes “1” and “2” in the following order:
ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → ODO
To reset a tripmeter, select it by pushing the “SE-
LECT” button, and then push the “RESET” button
for at least three seconds.
The tripmeters can be used to estimate the dis-
tance that can be traveled with a full tank of fuel.
This information enables you to plan future fuel
stops.TIPTo switch the display between “km/h” and “MPH”,
turn the key to “” (off), then push and hold the
“SELECT” button while turning the key to “”

Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of fuel in the
fuel tank. The display segments of the fuel meter
disappear from “F” (full) towards “E” (empty) as the
fuel level decreases. When the “E” segment disap-
pears and the fuel level warning indicator flashes,
refuel as soon as possible.TIPThis fuel meter is equipped with a self-diagnosis
system. If a problem is detected in an electrical cir-
cuit, all the display segments and fuel level warn-
ing indicator start flashing. If this occurs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical circuit.

1 -FOR YOUR SAFETY – PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
Inspect your vehicle each time you use it to make sure the vehicle is in safe operating condition. Always fol-
low the inspection and maintenance procedures and schedules described in the Owner’s Manual.
WARNING
Failure 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:
ITEM ROUTINE PAGE
BrakesCheck operation, free play, fluid level, and fluid leakage.
Fill with DOT 4 brake fluid if necessary.5-7–5-9,
8-85–8-95, 8-99
Parking brakeCheck for proper operation, condition, and free play. 8-89, 8-97
FuelCheck fuel level.
Fill with fuel if necessary.5-11–5-17
Engine oilCheck oil level.
Fill with oil to proper level if necessary.5-19, 8-25–8-39
Coolant reservoirCheck coolant level.
Fill with coolant if necessary.5-21, 8-53–8-55
Front differential gear

Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in the tank.
WARNING
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are extremely
flammable. To avoid fires and explosions and
to reduce the risk of injury when refueling, fol-
low these instructions.1. Before refueling, turn off the engine and be
sure that no one is sitting in the vehicle.
Never refuel while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or other sourc-
es of ignition such as the pilot lights of water
heaters and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Because fuel ex-
pands when it heats up, heat from the engine
or the sun can cause fuel to spill out of the
fuel tank.
3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.

4. Be sure the fuel tank cap is closed securely.
WARNING
Gasoline is poisonous and can cause injury or
death. Handle gasoline with care. Never si-
phon gasoline by mouth. If you should swal-
low some gasoline or inhale a lot of gasoline
vapor, or get some gasoline in your eyes, see
your doctor immediately. If gasoline spills on
your skin, wash with soap and water. If gaso-
line spills on your clothing, change your
clothes.Your Yamaha engine has been designed to use
regular unleaded gasoline with a research octane
number of 91 or higher. If knocking or pinging oc-
curs, use a different brand of gasoline or premium
unleaded fuel. Unleaded fuel will give you longer
spark plug life and reduced maintenance cost.

Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gasohol contain-
ing ethanol and that containing methanol. Gasohol
containing ethanol can be used if ethanol content
does not exceed 10% (E10). Gasohol containing
methanol is not recommended by Yamaha be-
cause it may cause fuel system damage or vehicle
performance problems.
Recommended fuel:
Unleaded gasoline only
For Europe: Regular unleaded gasoline
only with a research octane
number of 91 or higher
Fuel tank capacity:
28.5 L (7.53 US gal, 6.27 Imp.gal)
