EAU01621*Cooling system
1. Check the coolant level in the
reservoir tank when the engine is
cold as the coolant level will vary
with engine temperature. The
coolant level should be between
the minimum and maximum
marks on the tank.
2. If the coolant level is at or below
the minimum mark, fill with tap
water (soft water) to bring the
level up to the specified level.
Change the coolant every two
years.
3. If your motorcycle overheats, see
page 6-38 for details.

98Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and
lead to poor brake performance.
8Be careful that water does not
enter the master cylinder when
refilling. Water will significantly
lower the boiling point of the fluid
and may result in vapor lock.
8Brake fluid may deteriorate paint-
ed surfaces or plastic parts.
Always clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
8Have a Yamaha dealer check
the cause if the brake fluid level
goes down.
EAU00742Brake fluid replacement
The brake fluid should be replaced
only by trained Yamaha service per-
sonnel. Have the Yamaha dealer
replace the following components
during periodic maintenance or when
they are damaged or leaking:
8oil seals (every two years)
8brake hoses (every four years)
EAU00744Drive chain slack check
NOTE:
Spin the wheel several times and find
the tightest position of the chain.
Check and/or adjust the chain slack
while it’s in this tightest position.
