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.
EAUU0462
To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on the center-
stand.
TIP
_
●
The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level
varies with engine temperature.
●
Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned 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.
TIP
_
The coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
_
3. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, remove
panel B (See page 7-8.), remove
the reservoir cap, add coolant to
the maximum level mark, and
then install the reservoir cap and
the panel.
WARNING! Never at-
tempt to remove the radiator
cap when the engine is hot.

NOTICE:
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 en-
gine. If water has been used in-
stead of coolant, replace it with
coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise 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 antifreeze content of the
coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise the effectiveness of
the coolant will be reduced.
