Stop the engine and recheck the
coolant level in the radiator. If it
is low, add more coolant until it
reaches the top of the radiator.
12. Install the radiator cap stopper
bolt.
13. Fill the reservoir tank with
coolant up to maximum level.

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.
8
If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with
coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise the engine may not
be sufficiently cooled and the
cooling system will not be pro-
tected against frost and corro-
sion.
8
If water has been added to the
coolant, have a Yamaha dealer
check the antifreeze content of
the coolant as soon as possi-
ble, otherwise the effective-
ness of the coolant will be
reduced.
Recommended antifreeze:
High quality ethylene glycol
antifreeze containing corrosion
inhibitors for aluminum engines.
Antifreeze and water mixing ratio:
1:1
Total amount:
1.05 L
Reservoir tank capacity:
0.35 L
