check the coolant level in the
radiator. If necessary, add suffi-
cient coolant until it reaches the
top of the radiator, and then
install the radiator cap.
13.Check the coolant level in the
reservoir. If necessary, remove
the coolant reservoir cap by
removing the screw and stopper,
add coolant to the maximum
level mark, and then install the
cap, stopper and screw.14.Start the engine, and then check
the vehicle for coolant leakage. If
coolant is leaking, have a
Yamaha dealer check the cool-
ing system.
15.Install the cowling, radiator cover
and seat.

Cleaning the air filter
elementThe air filter element should be
cleaned at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart. Clean the air filter element
more frequently if you are riding in
unusually wet or dusty areas.
1.Remove the seat. (See page
3-12 for seat removal and instal-
lation procedures.)
2.Remove cowlings A and B. (See
page 6-6 for cowling removal
and installation procedures.)
3.Remove the fuel tank bolt.1.Bolt

StorageShort-term
Always store your motorcycle in a
cool, dry place and, if necessary, pro-
tect it against dust with a porous
cover.
ECA00014
cC8Storing the motorcycle in a
poorly ventilated room or cov-
ering it with a tarp, while it is
still wet, will allow water and
humidity to seep in and cause
rust.
8To prevent corrosion, avoid
damp cellars, stables (because
of the presence of ammonia)
and areas where strong chemi-
cals are stored.
Long-term
Before storing your motorcycle for
several months:
1.Follow all the instructions in the
ÒCareÓ section of this chapter.
2.For motorcycles equipped with a
fuel cock that has an ÒOFFÓ posi-
tion: Turn the fuel cock lever to
ÒOFFÓ.
3.Drain the carburetor float cham-
ber by loosening the drain bolt;
this will prevent fuel deposits
from building up. Pour the
drained fuel into the fuel tank.
4.Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel
stabilizer (if available) to prevent
the fuel tank from rusting and
the fuel from deteriorating.
5.Perform the following steps to
protect the cylinder, piston rings,
etc. from corrosion.a.Remove the spark plug cap
and spark plug.
b.Pour a teaspoonful of engine
oil into the spark plug bore.
c.Install the spark plug cap onto
the spark plug, and then place
the spark plug on the cylinder
head so that the electrodes
are grounded. (This will limit
sparking during the next step.)
d.Turn the engine over several
times with the starter. (This
will coat the cylinder wall with
oil.)
e.Remove the spark plug cap
from the spark plug, and then
install the spark plug and the
spark plug cap.
EWA00003
wTo prevent damage or injury from
sparking, make sure to ground the
spark plug electrodes while turn-
ing the engine over.
