3. If the coolant is at or below the mi-
nimum level mark, remove the
coolant reservoir cap. WARNING!
Remove only the coolant reser-
voir cap. Never attempt to re-
move the ra diator cap when the
en gine is hot.
[EWA15162]
4. Add coolant or distilled water to
raise the coolant to the maximum
level mark, install the coolant res-
ervoir cap. NOTICE: If coolant is
not availab le, use distille d water
or soft tap water instea d. Do not
use har d water or salt water
since it is harmful to the en gine.
If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with cool-
ant as soon as possi ble, other-
wise the coolin g system will not
b e protecte d a gainst frost an d
corrosion. If water has b een
a dd ed to the coolant, have a
Yamaha dealer check the anti-
freeze content of the coolant as soon as possi
ble, otherwise the
effectiveness of the coolant will
b e re duce d.

To change the coolant
1. Place the vehicle on the center- stand.
2. Remove panel A. (See page 6-8.)
3. Place a container under the en- gine to collect the used coolant.
4. Remove the radiator cap retaining bolt, radiator cap retainer and ra-
diator cap. WARNING! Never at-
tempt to remove the ra diator
cap when the en gine is hot.

5. Remove the coolant reservoir cov-
er and coolant reservoir by remov-
ing the bolts and collars. 6. Remove the coolant reservoir cap.
7. Drain the coolant from the coolant
reservoir by turning it upside
down.
8. Install the coolant reservoir and its cover by placing them in the origi-
nal position, and then installing the
collars and bolts.
9. Remove the coolant drain bolt and its gasket to drain the cooling sys-
tem. 10. After the coolant is completely
drained, thoroughly flush the cool-
ing system with clean tap water.
11. Install the coolant drain bolt and its new gasket, and then tighten
the bolt to the specified torque.
12. Pour the specified amount of the recommended coolant into the ra-
diator and reservoir.

13. Install the coolant reservoir cap.
14. Install the radiator cap.
15. Start the engine, let it idle for sev-
eral minutes, and then turn it off.
16. 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.
17. 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. 18. Start the engine, and then check
the vehicle for coolant leakage. If
coolant is leaking, have a Yamaha
dealer check the cooling system.
19. Turn off the engine, and then in- stall the panel.

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 rad iator cap, and then
slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the d etent to allow any residual pressure to escape. When the hiss-
in g soun d has stoppe d, press d own 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.
