6. Fuel level warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on when the
fuel level drops below approximately
3.5 L. When this occurs, turn the fuel
cock lever to the “RES” position and re-
fuel as soon as possible.
EAU01773
7. Cruise control indicator lights
See page 3-6 for an explanation of
these indicator lights.
EAU00061

This indicator light comes on when the
transmission is in the neutral position.
EAU01707
9. Coolant temperature warning
light “ ”
This warning light comes on when the
engine overheats. When this occurs,
stop the engine immediately and allow
the engine to cool.
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked according to the fol-
lowing procedure.
1. Set the engine stop switch to “ ”
and turn the key to “ON”.
2. Shift the transmission into the neu-
tral position or pull the clutch lever.
3. Push the start switch. If the warn-
ing light does not come on while
pushing the start switch, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electri-
cal circuit.

5-PRE-OPERATION CHECKSThe condition of a vehicle is the owner’s responsibility. Vital components can start to deteriorate quickly and unexpectedly,
even if the vehicle remains unused (for example, as a result of exposure to the elements). Any damage, fluid leakage or loss
of tire air pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important, in addition to a thorough visual inspec-
tion, to check the following points before each ride.
EAU03439

Final gear oil The final gear case must be checked
for oil leakage before each ride. If any
leakage is found, have a Yamaha deal-
er check and repair the motorcycle. In
addition, have a Yamaha dealer
change the final gear oil at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAU03974
Checking the coolant level The coolant level should be checked as
follows before each ride. In addition,
the coolant must be changed at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart.
1. Place the motorcycle on a level
surface and hold it in an upright
position.
2. Remove panel A. (See page 7-9
for panel removal and installation
procedures.)NOTE:_ l
The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level
varies with engine temperature.
l
Make sure that the motorcycle is
positioned straight up when
checking the coolant level. A slight
tilt to the side can result in a false
reading.
_
3. Check the coolant level in the
coolant reservoir.NOTE:_ The coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks. _

2. Final gear oil drain bolt

2. Maximum level mark

minimum level mark, remove the
rider seat (See page 3-15 for rider
seat removal and installation pro-
cedures.), open the reservoir cap,
add coolant to the maximum level
mark, and then close the reservoir
cap and install the rider seat.
EC000080
CAUTION:_ l
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.
l
If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with cool-
ant as soon as possible, other-
wise the engine may not be
sufficiently cooled and the cool-
ing system will not be protected
against frost and corrosion.
l
If water has been added to the
coolant, have a Yamaha dealer
check the antifreeze content of
the coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise the effectiveness of
the coolant will be reduced.

WARNING
_ Never attempt to remove the radia-
tor cap when the engine is hot. _5. Install the panel.
NOTE:_ l
The radiator fan is automatically
switched on or off according to the
coolant temperature in the radia-
tor.
l
If the engine overheats, see page
7-39 for further instructions.

EW000070
WARNING
@ l
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may be
blown out under pressure, which could cause serious injury. Be sure to wait until the engine has cooled.
l
After removing the radiator cap retaining bolt, place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radiator cap, and then
slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the detent to allow any residual pressure to escape. When the hiss-
ing sound has stopped, press down on the cap while turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.
@NOTE:@ If coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided that it is changed to the recommended coolant
as soon as possible. @
Wait until the
engine has cooled.
Check the coolant level in the
reservoir and radiator.
The coolant level
is OK.The coolant level is low.
Check the cooling system
for leakage.
Have a Yamaha dealer checkand repair the cooling system.Add coolant. (See NOTE.)
Start the engine. If the engine overheats again,
have a
Yamaha dealer check
and repair the cooling system.
There is
leakage.
There is
no leakage.
