Coolant temperature warning light “”
If the coolant temperature reaches a specific level,
this light comes on to warn that the coolant tem-
perature is too hot. If the light comes on during
operation, stop the engine as soon as it is safe to
do so and allow the engine to cool down for about
10 minutes. (See page 8-158.)
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by turning the key to “ON”. 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.NOTICE

The engine may overheat if the vehicle is
overloaded. If this happens, reduce the
load to specification.


After restarting, make sure that the warn-
ing light is out. Continuous use while this
warning light is on may cause damage to
the engine.

Engine trouble warning light “”
This warning light comes on or flashes if a problem
is detected in the electrical circuit monitoring the
engine. When this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer
check the self-diagnosis system. (See page 4-23
for an explanation of the self-diagnosis device.)
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by turning the key to “ON”. 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.

Self-diagnosis device
This model is equipped with a self-diagnosis de-
vice for various electrical circuits.
If a problem is detected in any of those circuits, the
engine trouble warning light comes on or flashes,
and the multi-function display indicates an error
code.
If the multi-function display indicates an error
code, note the code number, and then have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.NOTICEIf the multi-function display indicates an error
code, the vehicle should be checked as soon
as possible in order to avoid engine damage.

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, 8-87–8-89,
8-93–8-97, 8-103
Parking brakeCheck for proper operation, condition, and free play. 8-91, 8-99–8-101
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, 8-25–8-37
CoolantCheck coolant level.
Fill with coolant if necessary.5-21, 8-55–8-57
Final gear oil/
Differential gear oilCheck for leakage. 5-23, 8-39–8-53
Accelerator pedalCheck for proper accelerator pedal operation. 5-25
Seat beltsCheck for proper operation and belt wear. 5-25

Coolant
Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir
when the engine is cold (the coolant level will vary
with engine temperature).
The coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the
minimum and maximum level marks on the cool-
ant reservoir. If the coolant level is at or below the
minimum level mark, add additional coolant to
bring the level up to maximum level mark. If cool-
ant is not available, add distilled water. Change the
coolant every two years. (See pages 8-55–8-57 for
details.)NOTICEHard water or salt water is harmful to the en-
gine. You may use soft water if you cannot get
distilled water.
Coolant reservoir capacity
(up to the maximum level mark):
0.32 L (0.34 US qt, 0.28 Imp.qt)

Starting the engine
1. Turn the key to “ON”.NOTICEThe coolant temperature warning light and en-
gine trouble warning light should come on,
then go off.
If a warning light does not go off, see pages
4-7–4-9 for the corresponding warning light
circuit check.2. Apply the brake pedal.
3. Shift the drive select lever into the neutral po-
sition.


When the drive select lever is in the neu-
tral position, the neutral indicator light
should come on. If the neutral indicator
light does not come on, ask a Yamaha
dealer to inspect the electric circuit.

Shifting: neutral to reverse
WARNING
Before you shift into reverse, make sure there
are no obstacles or people behind you. When it
is safe to proceed, go slowly. Hitting an obsta-
cle or person could result in serious injury or
death.1. Stop the vehicle. Take your foot off the accel-
erator pedal and check behind you.
2. Apply the brake pedal.
3. Shift from neutral to reverse or vice versa by
moving the drive select lever along the shift
guide.


When in reverse, the reverse indicator
light should be on. Due to the synchroniz-
ing mechanism in the engine, the light
may not come on until the vehicle starts
moving.


If the light does not come on, ask a
Yamaha dealer to inspect the reverse in-
dicator light electrical circuit.
