CAUTION:@ l
Do not put in any chemical addi-
tives. Engine oil also lubricates
the clutch and additives could
cause clutch slippage.
l
Be sure no foreign material en-
ters the crankcase.

10. Start the engine and warm it up for
several minutes. While warming
up, check for oil leakage. If oil
leakage is found, stop the engine
immediately and check for the
cause.NOTE:@ After the engine is started, the oil level
indicator light should go off if the oil is at
the specified level. @
EC000067
CAUTION:@ If the indicator light flickers or re-
mains on, immediately stop the en-
gine and consult with a Yamaha
dealer. @11. Install the cowling stay and cowl-
ing.
EAU01594
CoolantCheck the coolant level in the reservoir
tank when the engine is cold. The cool-
ant level will vary with engine tempera-
ture. The coolant level is satisfactory if
it is between the minimum and maxi-
mum marks on the tank. If the coolant
level is at or below the minimum mark,
fill with tap water (soft water) to bring
the level up to the maximum mark.
Have a Yamaha dealer change the
coolant every two years. Recommended oil:

CAUTION:Be sure to use motor oils that do not contain anti-friction
modifiers. Passenger car motor oils (often labeled
“Energy Conserving”) contain anti-friction additives which
will cause clutch and/or starter clutch slippage, resulting in
reduced component life and poor engine performance.
