Average fuel economy:The average fuel economy display can
be set to “km/L” or “L/100km”. See
page 4-18.TIPAfter resetting the average fuel econo-
my display, “--.-” will be shown until thevehicle has traveled 1 km.
Instantaneous fuel economy:The instant fuel economy display can
be set to “km/L” or “L/100km”. See page 4-18.
TIP
If traveling at speeds under 10
km/h, “--.-” will be displayed.

The instantaneous fuel economy
function should be used for gener-
al reference only. Do not use this
figure to estimate the distance that
can be traveled on the current tankof fuel.
Air temperature:
The air temperature is displayed from
–9 C (16 F) to 50 C (122 F) in 1 C
(1 F) increments. The temperature dis-
played may vary from the actual ambi-
ent temperature.TIP
“--” will be displayed if the detected
temperature is lower.

“--” will be displayed if the detectedtemperature is higher. Coolant temperature:
The coolant temperature is displayed
from 40 
C (104 F) to 124 C (255 F)
in 1 C (1 F) increments.TIP
If the vehicle coolant temperature
is below 40 C (104 F) the coolant
temperature display will read “Lo”

If the vehicle coolant temperature
is above 124 C (255  F) the cool-
ant temperature display will read“Hi”
Fuel Meter:
The fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel meter disappear from
“F” (full) towards “E” (empty) as the fuel
level decreases. When the last seg-
ment starts flashing, refuel as soon as
possible.

uctions, cracks or damage, and check
hose connection. 4-23, 4-25
Engine oil Check oil level in engine.
If necessary, add recommended oil to specified level.
Check vehicle for oil leakage. 7-12
Coolant Check coolant level in reservoir.
If necessary, add recommended coolant to specified level.
Check cooling system for leakage. 7-13

Why YamalubeYAMALUBE oil is a Genuine YAMAHA
Part born of the engineers’ passion and
belief that engine oil is an important liq-
uid engine component. We form teams
of specialists in the fields of mechanical
engineering, chemistry, electronics and
track testing, and have them develop
the engine together with the oil it will
use. Yamalube oils take full advantage
of the base oil’s qualities and blend in
the ideal balance of additives to make
sure the final oil clears our performance
standards. Thus, Yamalube mineral,
semisynthetic and synthetic oils have
their own distinct characters and value.
Yamaha’s experience gained over
many years of research and develop-
ment into oil since the 1960’s helps
make Yamalube the best choice for
your Yamaha engine.
EAUS1203
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 distilledwater 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
1. Engine oil filler cap
2. O-ring
21
Recommended coolant:YAMALUBE coolant
Coolant quantity: Coolant reservoir (max level mark):0.28 L (0.30 US qt, 0.25 Imp.qt)
Radiator (including all routes): 1.72 L (1.82 US qt, 1.51 Imp.qt)

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 radiator cap when the
engine is hot.
[EWA15162]
4. Add coolant to the maximum level mark. NOTICE: If coolant is not
available, use distilled water or
soft tap water instead. Do not
use hard water or salt water
since it is harmful to the engine.
If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with cool-
ant as soon as possible, other-
wise the cooling system will not
be protected against frost and
corrosion. If water has been
added to the coolant, have a
Yamaha dealer check the anti-
freeze content of the coolant as
soon as possible, otherwise the
effectiveness of the coolant will be reduced.
[ECA10473]
5. Install the coolant reservoir cap.
EAU33032
Changing the coolant
The coolant must be changed at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart. Have a
Yamaha dealer change the coolant.
WARNING! Never attempt to remove
the radiator cap when the engine is
hot.
