To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on a level surfa-
ce and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
NOTE:
●
The coolant level must be chec-
ked on a cold engine since the
level varies with engine tempera-
ture.
●
Make sure that the vehicle is
positioned straight up when
checking the coolant level. A
slight tilt to the side can result in
a false reading.
1. Coolant level gauge window
2. Check the coolant level through
the check window.
NOTE:
The coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
1. Coolant reservoir
3. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, remove the
front cowling by removing the
screws.
4. Open the reservoir cap, and then
add coolant to the maximum
level mark.

CAUTION
●
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 coo-
lant as soon as possible, other-
wise the engine may not be
sufficiently cooled and the coo-
ling system will not be protec-
ted 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 possi-
ble, otherwise the effective-
ness of the coolant will be
reduced.
5. Close the reservoir cap, and then
install the front cowling by insta-
lling the screws.
Coolant reservoir capacity:
