6. Refill with the specified amount
of the recommended final trans-
mission oil, and then install and
tighten the oil filler cap. WAR-
NING! Make sure that no
foreign material enters the final
transmission case. Make sure
that no oil gets on the tire or
wheel.
[EWA11311]

for oil leakage. If oil is leaking,
check for the cause.

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.
EAUS1274
To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on a level surfa-
ce and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
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 through
the check window.
TIP
The coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
1. Maximum level mark
2. Minimum level mark
3. Coolant level check window
3. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, remove the
right floorboard mat by pulling it
up.
4. Open the reservoir cap, and then
add coolant to the maximum
level mark. 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 available, use distilled
water or soft tap water instead.

Cast wheels
To maximize the performance, durabi-
lity, and safe operation of your vehi-
cle, note the following points regar-
ding the specified wheels.
●The wheel rims should be chec-
ked for cracks, bends or warpage
before each ride. If any damage
is found, have a Yamaha dealer
replace the wheel. Do not
attempt even the smallest repair
to the wheel. A deformed or crac-
ked wheel must be replaced.
●The wheel should be balanced
whenever either the tire or wheel
has been changed or replaced.
An unbalanced wheel can result
in poor performance, adverse
handling characteristics, and a
shortened tire life.
●Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire sur-
face must first be “broken in” for
it to develop its optimal characte-
ristics.

WARNING
A soft or spongy feeling in the bra-
ke lever can indicate the presence
of air in the hydraulic system. If the-
re is air in the hydraulic system,
have a Yamaha dealer bleed the
system before operating the vehi-
cle. Air in the hydraulic system will
diminish the braking performance,
which may result in loss of control
and an accident.
