Coolant temperature warning light
“”
This warning light comes on if the
engine overheats. If this occurs, stop
the engine immediately and allow the
engine to cool.
The electrical circuit of the warning
light can be checked by turning the
key to “ON”. The warning light should
come on for a few seconds, and then
go off.
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.
ECA10021
Do not continue to operate the
engine if it is overheating.
TIP
For radiator-fan-equipped vehi-
cles, the radiator fan(s) automati-
cally switch on or off according to
the coolant temperature in the
radiator.
If the engine overheats, see page
6-40 for further instructions.
EAU11534
Engine trouble warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on or flas-
hes if a problem is detected in the
electrical circuit monitoring the engi-
ne. If this occurs, have a Yamaha dea-
ler check the self-diagnosis system.
(See page 3-8 for an explanation of
the self-diagnosis device.)
The electrical circuit of the warning
light can be checked by turning the
key to “ON”. The warning light should
come on for a few seconds, and then
go off.
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.
EAU11545
ABS warning light “ ” (for ABS
models)
If this warning light comes on or flas-
hes while riding, the ABS may not
work correctly. If this occurs, have aYamaha dealer check the system as
soon as possible. (See page 3-12).
EWA10081
If the ABS warning light comes on
or flashes while riding, the brake
system reverts to conventional bra-
king. Therefore, be careful not to
cause the wheels to lock during
emergency braking. If the warning
light comes on or flashes while
riding, have a Yamaha dealer check
the brake system as soon as possi-
ble.
The electrical circuit of the warning
light can be checked by turning the
key to “ON”. The warning light should
come on for a few seconds, and then
go off.
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.

EAU15596
Inspect your vehicle each time you use it to make sure the vehicle is in safe operating condition. Always follow the ins-
pection and maintenance procedures and schedules described in the Owner’s Manual.
EWA11151
Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an accident or equipment dama-
ge. Do not operate the vehicle if you find any problem. If a problem cannot be corrected by the procedures pro-
vided in this manual, have the vehicle inspected by a Yamaha dealer.
Before using this vehicle, check the following points:
WARNING
ITEM CHECKS PAGE
• Check fuel level in fuel tank.
• Refuel if necessary.
Fuel• Check fuel line for leakage. 3-14
• Check the fuel tank breather/overflow hose for obstructions, cracks or
damage, and check the hose connection.
• Check oil level in oil tank.
Engine oil• If necessary, add recommended oil to specified level. 6-11
• Check vehicle for oil leakage.
• Check coolant level in reservoir.
Coolant• If necessary, add recommended coolant to specified level. 6-14
• Check cooling system for leakage.
• Check operation.
• If soft or spongy, have Yamaha dealer bleed hydraulic system.
• Check lever free play.
• Adjust if necessary.
Front brake• Check brake pads for wear. 6-21
• Replace if necessary.
• Check fluid level in reservoir.
• If necessary, add recommended brake fluid to specified level.
• Check hydraulic system for leakage.

The following warning lights and
indicator lights should come on for
a few seconds, then go off.
Neutral indicator light
Turn signal indicator light
High beam indicator light
Engine trouble warning light
Coolant temperature warning
light
Immobilizer system indicator
light
ABS warning light (for ABS
model)
If a warning or indicator light does
not go off, see page 3-4 for the
corresponding warning and indica-
tor light circuit check.
2. Shift the transmission into the
neutral position.
TIP
When the transmission is in the neu-
tral position, the neutral indicator light
should be on, otherwise have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.
3. Start the engine by pushing the
start switch. NOTICE: For maxi-
mum engine life, never accele-
rate hard when the engine is
cold!
[ECA11041]
TIP
If the engine fails to start, release the
start switch, wait a few seconds, and
then try again. Each starting attempt
should be as short as possible to pre-
serve the battery. Do not crank the
engine more than 10 seconds on any
one attempt.
TIP
The engine is warm when it quickly
responds to the throttle.
EAU16671
Shifting
1. Shift pedal
2. Neutral position
Shifting gears lets you control the
amount of engine power available for
starting off, accelerating, climbing
hills, etc.
The gear positions are shown in the
illustration.
TIP
To shift the transmission into the neu-
tral position, press the shift pedal
down repeatedly until it reaches the
end of its travel, and then slightly rai-
se it.

Coolant
The coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the coo-
lant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAU20253
To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on a level surface
and hold it in an upright position.
TIP
The coolant level must be chec-
ked on a cold engine since the
level varies with engine tempera-
ture.
Make sure that the vehicle is
positioned straight up when
checking the coolant level. A
slight tilt to the side can result in
a false reading.
2. Check the coolant level in the
coolant reservoir.
TIP
The coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
1. Coolant reservoir
2. Maximum level mark
3. Minimum level mark
4. Coolant reservoir cap
3. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, remove
panel E (See page 6-8). , remove
the reservoir cap, add coolant to
the maximum level mark, and
then install the reservoir cap and
the panel. WARNING! Remove
only the coolant reservoir cap.
Never attempt to remove the
radiator cap when the engine is
hot.
[EWA15161]
NOTICE: If coolant is not avai-
lable, 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 coolant
as soon as possible, otherwise
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.
[ECA10472]
Coolant reservoir capacity (up to
the maximum level mark):

Changing the coolant
The coolant must be changed at the
intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
Have a Yamaha dealer change the
coolant. WARNING! Never attempt
to remove the radiator cap when
the engine is hot.
[EWA10381]EAUB1481
Replacing the air filter
element and cleaning the
check hose
The air filter element should be repla-
ced at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart. Replace the air filter element
more frequently if you are riding in
unusually wet or dusty areas. In addi-
tion, the air filter check hose must be
frequently checked and cleaned if
necessary.
To replace the air filter element
1. Remove the seat. (See page
3-16).
2. Remove the air filter case cover
by removing the screws.
1. Air filter case cover
2. Screw
3. Pull the air filter element out.
4. Insert a new air filter element into
the air filter case as shown.
NOTICE: Make sure that the air
filter element is properly sea-
ted in the air filter case. The
engine should never be opera-
ted without the air filter ele-
ment installed, otherwise the
piston(s) and/or cylinder(s)
may become excessively worn.
