5. Engine overheatingEW000070
WARNING
Do 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. Open the radiator cap as follows. Wait until the engine has
cooled. Remove the radiator cap stopper by removing the screw. Place a thick rag like a towel over the radiator cap
and slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the detent. This procedure allows any residual pressure to escape.
When the hissing sound has stopped, press down on the cap while turning counterclockwise and remove it.
NOTE:
If it is difficult to get the recommended coolant, tap water can be temporarily used, provided that it is changed to the recom-
mended coolant as soon as possible.
Wait until the
engine has cooled.Check the coolant level in the
reservoir tank and/or radiator.
Level is OK.
Level is low, check the
cooling system for leakage.
No
leakage.
Leakage.Ask a Yamaha dealer to inspect
and repair the cooling system.
Add coolant. (See NOTE.)
Restart the engine. If the engine overheats again, ask a
Yamaha dealer to inspect and repair the cooling system.

CHANGING THE COOLANT
1. Remove:
• bottom cowling
• front cowling
Refer to “COWLINGS”.
2. Remove:
• coolant reservoir bolts 1
• coolant reservoir cap 2
NOTE:
When draining the coolant from the
coolant reservoir, be sure to tilt the res-
ervoir so that coolant cannot flow
through the coolant reservoir breather
hose 3.
3. Drain:
• coolant
(from the coolant reservoir)
4. Install:

5. Remove:
• radiator cap 1
WARNINGWARNING
A hot radiator is under pressure. There-
fore, do not remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. Scalding hot
fluid and steam may be blown out,
which could cause serious injury. When
the engine has cooled, open the radiator
cap as follows:
Place a thick rag or a towel over the
radiator cap and slowly turn the radia-
tor cap counterclockwise toward the
detent to allow any residual pressure to
escape. When the hissing sound has
stopped, turn the radiator cap counter-
clockwise while pressing down on it
and then remove it.
