98Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and
lead to poor brake performance.
8Be careful that water does not
enter the master cylinder when
refilling. Water will significantly
lower the boiling point of the fluid
and may result in vapor lock.
8Brake fluid may deteriorate paint-
ed surfaces or plastic parts.
Always clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
8Have a Yamaha dealer check
the cause if the brake fluid level
goes down.

w
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. Open the radiator cap as follows. Wait until the
engine has cooled. Remove the radiator cap stopper by removing the screw. Place a thick rag like a towel over
the radiator cap and slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the detent. This procedure allows any residual
pressure to escape. When the hissing sound has stopped, press down on the cap while turning counterclock-
wise and remove it.
NOTE:
If it is difficult to get the recommended coolant, tap water can be temporarily used, provided that it is changed to the rec-
ommended coolant as soon as possible.
Level is OK.
Wait until the engine
has cooled.
Restart the engine. If the engine overheats again, ask a
Yamaha dealer to inspect and repair the cooling system. Check the coolant level in the
reservoir tank and/or radiator.
Add coolant (See NOTE.)
Level is low, check thecooling system for leakage.Leakage.No
leakage.Ask a Yamaha dealer to inspect
and repair the cooling system.
