2. With the vehicle in an upright posi-
tion, look at the coolant level in the
reservoir.

minimum level mark, remove the
coolant reservoir cap.

4. Add coolant to the maximum level
mark.
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 engine.
If 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.
