3 decreases. When the fuel level be-
comes low, the last segment will flash,
(“LOW FUEL” message will also ap-
pear) and the fuel level warning
light “ ” will come on. Refuel as soon
as possible.
TIPThis fuel meter is equipped with a self-
diagnosis system. If a problem is de-
tected in the fuel meter electrical cir-
cuit, the display segments of the fuel
meter will flash eight times, and then
go off for 3 seconds repeatedly. If this
occurs, have a Yamaha dealer check
the electrical circuit.
Coolant temperature meter
With the key in the “ON” position, the
coolant temperature meter indicates
the temperature of the coolant. The
coolant temperature varies with
changes in the weather and engine
load. When the coolant temperature is
near the maximum limit, the second
segment from the top will flash. If the 2
top segments and “ ” start flashing
(“HIGH TEMP” message will also ap-
pear), stop the vehicle and let the en-
gine cool.
NOTICE
ECA10022
Do not continue to operate the en-
gine 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 ra-
diator.
If the engine overheats, see page
6-43 for further instruction.Odometer and tripmeter display

3. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, remove the
reservoir cap. WARNING! Re-
move only the coolant reservoir
cap. Never attempt to remove
the radiator cap when the en-
gine is hot.
[EWA15162]
4. Add coolant to the maximum level
mark, and then install the reservoir
cap. 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 assoon as possible, otherwise the
effectiveness of the coolant will
be reduced.

Changing the coolant
The coolant must be changed at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic main-
tenance and lubrication chart. Have a
Yamaha dealer change the coolant.
WARNING! Never attempt to remove
the radiator cap when the engine is
hot.

6 If the breather hose is posi-
tioned in such a way that the
frame is exposed to electrolyte
or gas expelled from the bat-
tery, the frame could suffer
structural and external damag-
es.

Replacing the fusesThe fuse boxes, which contains the
fuses for the individual circuits, are lo-
cated under the rider seat. (See page
3-18.)
If a fuse for the individual circuits is
blown, replace it as follows.
1. Turn the key to “OFF” and turn off
the electrical circuit in question.
2. Remove the blown fuse, and then
install a new fuse of the specified
amperage. WARNING! Do not
use a fuse of a higher amperage
rating than recommended to
avoid causing extensive dam-
age to the electrical system and
possibly a fire.

the electrical circuit in question to
check if the device operates.
4. If the fuse immediately blows
again, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical system.

6 Engine overheating
WARNING
EWA10401
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.
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.TIPIf coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided that it is changed to the recommended cool-
ant 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 TIP.)
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.
