Coolant temperature gaugeWith the key in the ÒONÓ position, the
coolant temperature gauge indicates
the temperature of the coolant. The
coolant temperature varies with
changes in the weather and engine
load. If the needle reaches or enters
the red zone, stop the motorcycle
and let the engine cool. (See page
6-43 for further instructions.)

9The condition of a vehicle is the ownerÕs responsibility. Vital components can start to deteriorate quickly and unexpect-
edly, even if the vehicle remains unused (for example, as a result of exposure to the elements). Any damage, fluid leak-
age or loss of tire air pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important, in addition to a thor-
ough visual inspection, to check the following points before each ride.

NOTE:
8The air filter needs more frequent service if you are riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
8Hydraulic brake service
9Regularly check and, if necessary, correct the brake fluid level.
9Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinder and caliper, and change the brake
fluid.
9Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

cC8In order to prevent clutch slip-
page (since the transmission
oil also lubricates the clutch),
do not mix any chemical addi-
tives with the oil.
8Make sure that no foreign
material enters the transmis-
sion.6.Start the engine, and then let it
idle for several minutes while
checking the transmission for oil
leakage. If oil is leaking, immedi-
ately turn off the engine and
check for the cause.

1.Maximum level mark

coolant reservoir.NOTE:
The coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.3.If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, open the
reservoir cap, add coolant to the
maximum level mark, and then
close the reservoir cap.
EAU03761
CoolantTo check the coolant level
1.Place the motorcycle on a level
surface and hold it in an upright
position.NOTE:
8The coolant level must be
checked on a cold engine since
the level varies with engine tem-
perature.
8Make sure that the motorcycle is
positioned straight up when
checking the coolant level. A
slight tilt to the side can result in
a false reading.

To change the coolant
1.Place the motorcycle on a level
surface and let the engine cool if
necessary.
2.Remove the seat. (See page
3-12 for seat removal and instal-
lation procedures.)
3.Remove the radiator cover and
cowling B. (See pages 6-6 for
cowling removal and installation
procedures.)
4.Remove the radiator cap .

5.Place a container under the
engine to collect the used
coolant.
6.Remove the coolant drain bolt
and disconnect the hose on the
side of the reservoir to drain the
reservoir.
7.After the coolant is completely
drained, thoroughly flush the
cooling system with clean tap
water.
8.Install the coolant drain bolt, and
then tighten it to the specified
torque.1.Coolant drain bolt

cC8If 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.
8If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with
coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise the engine may not
be sufficiently cooled and the
cooling system will not be pro-
tected against frost and corro-
sion.
8If water has been added to the
coolant, have a Yamaha dealer
check the antifreeze content of
the coolant as soon as possi-
ble, otherwise the effective-
ness of the coolant will be
reduced. 11.Install the radiator cap, start the
engine, let it idle for several min-
utes, and then turn it off.
