65. Remove the coolant reservoir cap.
6. Drain the coolant from the coolantreservoir by turning it upside
down. 7. Install the coolant reservoir and its
cover by placing them in the origi-
nal position, and then installing the
collars and bolts.
8. Remove the coolant drain bolt and its gasket to drain the cooling sys-
tem.
9. After the coolant is completely drained, thoroughly flush the cool-
ing system with clean tap water.
10. Install the coolant drain bolt and its new gasket, and then tighten
the bolt to the specified torque. 11. Pour the specified amount of the
recommended coolant into the ra-
diator and reservoir.
12. Install the coolant reservoir cap.
13. Install the radiator cap.
14. Start the engine, let it idle for sev- eral minutes, and then turn it off.
15. Remove the radiator cap to check the coolant level in the radiator. If
necessary, add sufficient coolant
until it reaches the top of the radi-
ator, and then install the radiator
cap, radiator cap retainer and ra-
diator cap retaining bolt.

16. Check the coolant level in the res-
ervoir. If necessary, remove the
coolant reservoir cap, add coolant
to the maximum level mark, and
then install the cap.
17. Start the engine, and then check the vehicle for coolant leakage. If
coolant is leaking, have a Yamaha
dealer check the cooling system.

WARNING
EWA10401
Do not remove the ra diator cap when the en gine an d ra diator are hot. Scal din g hot flui d an d steam may be
b lown out un der pressure, which coul d cause serious injury. Be sure to wait until the en gine has coole d.
 After removin g the ra diator cap retainin g b olt, place a thick ra g, like a towel, over the ra diator cap, an d then
slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the detent to allow any resid ual pressure to escape. When the hiss-
in g soun d has stopped , press down on the cap while turnin g it counterclockwise, an d 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.
