PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
4The condition of a vehicle is the owner’s 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.

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.
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.
2. Check the coolant level in the
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.

If the engine overheats, see page
6-43 for further instructions.
EAU03746
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 cowling B. (See page
6-6 for cowling removal and
installation procedures.)
4. Remove the radiator cap.

wNever attempt to remove the radia-
tor cap when the engine is hot.
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.

NOTE:
Check the washer for damage and
replace it if necessary.9. Connect the hose to the coolant
reservoir.10. Pour the recommended coolant
into the radiator until it is full.

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.

612. Remove the radiator cap to
check the coolant level in the
radiator. If necessary, add suffi-
cient coolant until it reaches the
top of the radiator, and then
install the radiator cap.
13. Check the coolant level in the
reservoir. If necessary, remove
the coolant reservoir cap by
removing the screw and retainer,
add coolant to the maximum
level mark, and then install the
coolant reservoir cap and retain-
er by installing the screw.14. Start the engine, and then check
the vehicle for coolant leakage. If
coolant is leaking, have a
Yamaha dealer check the cool-
ing system.
15. Install the cowling and the seat.
EAU03747
Cleaning the air filter
elementThe air filter element should be
cleaned at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart. Clean the air filter element
more frequently if you are riding in
unusually wet or dusty areas.
1. Remove the seat. (See page
3-12 for seat removal and instal-
lation procedures.)
2. Remove cowlings A and B. (See
page 6-6 for cowling removal
and installation procedures.)
3. Remove the fuel tank bolt.

If coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided that it is changed to the recommended
coolant as soon as possible.Engine overheating

w8Do 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. Be sure to wait until the engine has cooled.
8After removing the radiator cap retaining bolt, place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radiator cap, and then
slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the detent to allow any residual pressure to escape. When the
hissing sound has stopped, press down on the cap while turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the
cap.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 NOTE.)
Start the engine. If the engine overheats again,
have a
Yamaha dealer check
and repair the cooling system.
