7. Start the engine and warm up for a few
minutes. While warming up, check for oil
leakage. If oil leakage is found, stop the
engine immediately, and check for the
cause.
8. Turn the engine off, and then check the oil
level and correct it if necessary.

Cooling system
1. Check the coolant level in the coolant
reservoir when the engine is cold as the
coolant level will vary with engine temper-
ature. The coolant level should be
between the maximum and minimum
marks.

2. If the level is low, remove the seat. (See
page 4-23 for seat removal and installa-
tion procedures.)
3. Open the coolant reservoir cover.
4. Remove the coolant reservoir cap, and
then add coolant or distilled water to raise
it to the specified level.
5. Install the coolant reservoir cap.
6. Close the coolant reservoir cover.
7. Install the seat.
cC
Hard water or salt water is harmful to the
engine. You may use soft water if you can’t
get distilled water.

6. Disconnect the hose on the coolant reser-
voir side and 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 washers if
they are damaged, and then tighten the
coolant drain bolts to the specified torque.
9. Install the coolant reservoir hose.
10. Pour the recommended coolant into the
radiator until it is full.

cC
Hard water or salt water is harmful to the
engine. You may use soft water if you can’t
get distilled water.
11. Install the radiator cap.Recommended antifreeze:
High quality ethylene glycol antifreeze
containing corrosion inhibitors for
aluminum engines.
Antifreeze and water mixing ratio:
1:1
Total amount:
1.5 L
Coolant reservoir capacity:
0.28 L

12. Run the engine 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.
13. Fill the coolant reservoir with coolant up to
the maximum level.
14. Install the coolant reservoir cap and check
for coolant leakage.
NOTE:
If any leakage is found, ask a Yamaha dealer to
inspect the cooling system.
15. Install the radiator cover by installing the
bolts.

Engine overheating
Wait until the
engine has cooled.Check the coolant level in the
reservoir tank and/or radiator.
Level is OK.
Level is low, check the
cooling system for leakage.
No
leakage.
Leakage.Ask a Yamaha dealer
to inspect and repair
the cooling system.
Add coolant.
(See NOTE.)
Restart the engine. If the engine overheats
again, ask a Yamaha dealer to inspect and
repair the cooling system.
NOTE:
If it is difficult to get recommended coolant, tap water can be temporarily used, provided that it is
changed to the recommended coolant as soon as possible.

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.
