6If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with cool-
ant as soon as possible, other-
wise the cooling system will not
be protected against frost and
corrosion. If water has been
added to the coolant, have a
Yamaha dealer check the anti-
freeze content of the coolant as
soon as possible, otherwise the
effectiveness of the coolant will
be reduced.
[ECA10472]
5. Install the panel.
EAU39004
To change the coolant
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur- face and let the engine cool if nec-
essary.
2. Remove cowlings B and C. (See page 6-8.)
3. Place a container under the engine to collect the used coolant.
4. Remove the radiator cap. WARNING! Never attempt to re-
move the radiator cap when the
engine is hot.
[EWA10381]
5. Remove the coolant drain bolt andits gasket to drain the cooling sys-
tem. 6. Move the hose clamp in the direc-
tion shown, and then disconnect
the radiator hose to drain the radi-
ator.
7. Remove the coolant reservoir by removing the bolts.
8. Remove the coolant reservoir cap, and then turn the coolant reservoir
upside down to empty it.

9. After the coolant is completely
drained, thoroughly flush the cool-
ing system with clean tap water.
10. Install the coolant reservoir by in- stalling the bolts.
11. Connect the radiator hose, and then move the hose clamp back to
its original position.
12. Install the coolant drain bolt and its new gasket, and then tighten the
bolt to the specified torque. 13. Pour the recommended coolant
into the reservoir to the maximum
level mark, and then install the
coolant reservoir cap.
14. Pour the recommended coolant into the radiator until it is full.
15. Install the radiator cap, start the engine, let it idle for several min-
utes, 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. 17. Start the engine, and then check
the vehicle for coolant leakage. If
coolant is leaking, have a Yamaha
dealer check the cooling system.
18. Install the cowlings.
