Coolant temperature warning light “ ”
When the coolant temperature reaches a speci-
fied level, this light comes on to warn that the
coolant 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.
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by turning the key to “ON”. If the warn-
ing light does not come on, and then go off,
have a Yamaha dealer check the electrical cir-
cuit.
cC
8The engine may overheat if the ATV is
overloaded. If this happens, reduce the
load to specification.
8After restarting, make sure that the light is
out. Continuous use while the light is on
may cause damage to the engine.

Engine trouble warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on or flashes when an
electrical circuit monitoring the engine is defec-
tive. When this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer
check the self-diagnosis system.
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by turning the key to “ON”. If the warn-
ing light does not come on, and then go off,
have a Yamaha dealer check the electrical cir-
cuit.
EBU15791
Fuel level warning light “ ”
This fuel level warning light comes on when the
fuel level drops below approximately 2.6 L (0.57
Imp.gal, 0.69 US gal). When this occurs, refuel
as soon as possible.
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by setting the engine stop switch to
“RUN” and turning the key to “ON”.
If the warning light does not come on, and then
go off, have a Yamaha dealer check the electri-
cal circuit.

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 coolant reservoir. If
the coolant level is at or below the minimum
level mark, add distilled water to bring the level
up to the maximum level mark. Change the
coolant every two years. (See pages 8-37–8-47
for details.)
cC
Hard water or salt water is harmful to the
engine. You may use soft water if you cannot
get distilled water.
Coolant reservoir capacity
(up to the maximum level mark):
0.25 L

Cooling system
1. Check the coolant level in the coolant
reservoir when the engine is cold as the
coolant level will vary with engine tempera-
ture.
NOTE:
The coolant should be between the minimum
and maximum level marks.
2. If the coolant is at or below the minimum
level mark, remove the coolant reservoir
cap, and then add coolant or distilled water
to raise it to the specified level.

Changing the coolant
w
Wait for the engine and radiator to cool
before removing the radiator cap. You could
be burned by hot fluid and steam blown out
under pressure. Always put a thick rag over
the cap when opening. Allow any remaining
pressure to escape before completely
removing the cap.
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove panel A. (See page 8-19 for panel
removal and installation procedures.)
3. Place a container under the engine, and
then remove the coolant drain bolt.
4. Remove the radiator cap.

5. Remove the coolant reservoir cap.
6. Disconnect the hose on the coolant reser-
voir side, and then drain the coolant from
the coolant reservoir.
7. After draining the coolant, thoroughly flush
the cooling system with clean tap water.
8. Replace the coolant drain bolt washer if it
is damaged, and then tighten the coolant
drain bolt to the specified torque.
9. Connect the coolant reservoir hose.
10. Pour the recommended coolant into the
radiator until it is full.
11. Pour the recommended coolant into the
coolant reservoir to the maximum level
mark.

12. Install the radiator cap and the coolant
reservoir cap.
13. Start the engine and let it idle for several
minutes. Stop the engine, and then check
the coolant level in the radiator. If it is low,
add more coolant until it reaches the top of
the radiator.
14. Check the coolant level in the reservoir. If it
is low, add coolant to the maximum level
mark.
15. Start the engine and then check for coolant
leakage.
NOTE:
If any leakage is found, have a Yamaha dealer
check the cooling system.
16. Install the panel.
