4. Add coolant to the maximum level
mark, and then install the coolant
reservoir cap. WARNING! Re-
move only the coolant reservoir
cap. Never attempt to remove
the radiator cap when the en-
gine is hot.
[EWA15161]
NOTICE: If
coolant is not available, use dis-
tilled water or soft tap water in-
stead. Do not use hard water or
salt water since it is harmful to
the engine. If water has been
used instead of coolant, replace
it with coolant as soon as possi-
ble, otherwise the cooling sys-
tem will not be protected against frost and corrosion. If
water has been added to the
coolant, have a Yamaha dealer
check the antifreeze content of
the coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise the effectiveness of
the coolant will be reduced.
[ECA10472]
5. Route the coolant reservoir breath-
er hose through the guide as
shown.
EAU47573
To change the coolant1. Place the vehicle on the center- stand.
2. Remove cowlings A and C. (See page 6-8.)
3. Place a container under the engine to collect the used coolant.
4. Remove the radiator cap retaining bolt, radiator cap retainer and radi-
ator cap. WARNING! Never at-
tempt to remove the radiator
cap when the engine is hot.

13. Install the radiator cap.
14. Install the coolant reservoir 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 radia-
tor, and then install the radiator
cap, radiator cap retainer and radi-
ator 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. Route the coolant reservoir breath- er hose through the guide as
shown. 19. Start the engine, and then check
the vehicle for coolant leakage. If
coolant is leaking, have a Yamaha
dealer check the cooling system.
20. Install the cowlings.
