Coolant The coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the cool-
ant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
To check the coolant level
1. Place the motorcycle on a level
surface and hold it in an upright
position.NOTE:_
The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level
varies with engine temperature.
Make 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, remove the
coolant reservoir cover by remov-
ing the bolts, open the reservoir
cap, and then add coolant to the
maximum level mark.

12. Remove the coolant reservoir cap,
and then turn the reservoir upside-
down to empty it.
13. Install the coolant reservoir by in-
stalling the bolts.

CAUTION:@
If 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.
If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with cool-
ant as soon as possible, other-
wise the engine may not be
sufficiently cooled and the cool-
ing system 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.
@16. Install the radiator cap, start the
engine, let it idle for several min-
utes, and then turn it off.
