5B410002Coolant temperature warning light “ ”
If the coolant temperature reaches a specific
level, this light comes on to warn that the cool-
ant temperature 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 8-58.)
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
warning light is out. Continuous use
while this warning light is on may
cause damage to the engine.

5B410003Engine 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-diagno-
sis system. (See page 4-11 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.Electric Power Steering warning light
“EPS”
This warning light comes on when the key is
turned to “ ” (on), and then goes off once
the engine is started. If the warning light re-
mains on or comes on after the engine is
started, the EPS system may not be working
correctly. When this occurs, have a Yamaha
dealer check the EPS system.
The electrical circuit of the warning light can
be checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). If
the warning light does not come on, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical circuit.
TIPIf the steering load is too heavy (i.e., exces-
sive steering use when the Viking is traveling
at a slow speed), the power assist is reduced
to protect the EPS motor from overheating.

TIPThis fuel meter is equipped with a self-diagno-
sis system. If a problem is detected in an elec-
trical circuit, all the display segments and fuel
level warning indicator start flashing. If this oc-
curs, have a Yamaha dealer check the electri-
cal circuit.
Self-diagnosis device1. Error code display
2. Engine trouble warning light “ ”This model is equipped with a self-diagnosis
device for various electrical circuits.
If a problem is detected in any of those cir-
cuits, 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.

EVU00400FuelMake sure there is sufficient fuel in the tank.
WARNING
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are ex-
tremely flammable. To avoid fires and ex-
plosions and to reduce the risk of injury
when refueling, follow these instructions.1. Before refueling, turn off the engine and be sure that no one is sitting in the vehi-
cle.
Never refuel while smoking, or while in
the vicinity of sparks, open flames, or oth-
er sources of ignition such as the pilot
lights of water heaters and clothes dry-
ers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Because fuel
expands 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 se-
curely.
WARNING
Gasoline is poisonous and can cause inju-
ry or death. Handle gasoline with care.
Never siphon gasoline by mouth. If you
should swallow 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 gasoline spills on your
clothing, change your clothes.Your Yamaha engine has been designed to
use regular unleaded gasoline with a re-
search octane number of 91 or higher (95 or
higher for Europe). If knocking or pinging oc-
curs, use a different brand of gasoline or pre-
mium unleaded gasoline. Unleaded fuel will
give you longer spark plug life and reduced
maintenance cost.

A crash can damage the restraint systems in
your vehicle. A damaged restraint system
may not properly protect the person using it,
resulting in serious injury or death in a crash.
To help make sure your restraint systems are
working properly after a crash, have them in-
spected and any necessary replacements
made as soon as possible.Passenger handholdCheck that the handhold bar and its supports
are in good condition. Confirm that the locking
pins are securely fastened, and then push
and pull on the handhold to make sure that it
is not loose.EVU01230SteeringPark on level ground. Turn the steering wheel
right and left. Check for excessive free play,
abnormal noises, or a rough feeling. Have a
Yamaha dealer repair as necessary for proper operation.
EVU00470Fittings and fastenersAlways check the tightness of chassis fittings
and fasteners before a ride. Take the vehicle
to a Yamaha dealer or refer to the Service
Manual for correct tightening torque.Instruments, lights and switchesCheck that all instruments, lights and switches
are working properly. Correct if necessary.Control cablesWhen riding in cold weather, always make
sure all control cables work smoothly before
you begin riding. WARNING! Control cables
can freeze in cold weather and you could
be unable to control the vehicle.EVU00500TiresCheck tire pressure regularly to make sure it
is at the recommended specifications. Also
check for wear and damage.

Each full-throttle acceleration sequence
should be followed with a substantial rest pe-
riod for the engine, by cruising at lower r/min
so the engine can rid itself of the temporary
build-up of heat. If any abnormality is noticed
during this period, consult a Yamaha dealer.
0–10 hours:
Avoid continuous operation above 1/2-throt-
tle. Allow a cooling-off period of 5 to 10 min-
utes after every hour of operation. Vary the
speed of the vehicle from time to time. Do not
operate it at one set throttle position.
10–20 hours:
Avoid prolonged operation above three-quar-
ter throttle.
After break-in:
The vehicle may now be operated normally.
5B410007Starting the engine1. Turn the key to “ ” (on).NOTICEThe coolant temperature warning light and
engine trouble warning light should come
on, then go off.
The EPS warning light should come on,
then go off when the engine is started.
If a warning light does not go off, see page
4-2 for the corresponding warning light
circuit check.2. Apply the brake pedal.
3. Shift the drive select lever into the neutralposition.
●
When the drive select lever is in the
neutral position, the neutral indicator
light should come on. If the neutral in-
dicator 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 obstacle or person could result
in serious injury or death.1. Stop the vehicle, take your foot off the ac- celerator 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. If the light does not
come on, ask a Yamaha dealer to in-
spect the reverse indicator light elec-
trical circuit.
●
Due to the synchronizing mechanism
in the engine, the light may not come
on until the vehicle starts moving.
