EAU00186
CAUTION:_

Immediately wipe off spilled fuel
with a clean, dry, soft cloth,
since fuel may deteriorate paint-
ed surfaces or plastic parts.


For Germany only: Whenever
replacement is necessary, use a
fuel tank cap of the same spe-
cial design as the original.

EAU04284ECA00104
CAUTION:_ Use only unleaded gasoline. The
use of leaded gasoline will cause se-
vere damage to internal engine
parts, such as the valves and piston
rings, as well as to the exhaust sys-
tem. _Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use regular unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
91 or higher. If knocking (or pinging)
occurs, use a gasoline of a different
brand or premium unleaded fuel. Use
of unleaded fuel will extend spark plug
life and reduce maintenance costs.
EAU00196
Fuel tank breather hose
(for Germany only) Before operating the motorcycle:

Check the fuel tank breather hose
connection.


Check the fuel tank breather hose
for cracks or damage, and replace
it if damaged.

tank breather hose is not blocked
and clean it if necessary. Recommended fuel:
REGULAR UNLEADED

613. Install the coolant drain bolts, and
then tighten them to the specified
torque.
NOTE:_ Check the washers for damage and re-
place them if necessary. _14. Pour the recommended coolant
into the radiator until it is full.
EC000080
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 cool-
ant as soon as possible, other-
wise the engine may not be
sufficiently cooled and the cool-
ing system will not be protected
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 possible,
otherwise the effectiveness of
the coolant will be reduced.
_15. Install the radiator cap, start the
engine, let it idle for several min-
utes, and then turn it off.
16. Remove the radiator cap to check
the coolant level in the radiator. If
necessary, add sufficient coolant
until it reaches the top of the radia-
tor, and then install the radiator
cap and the cap retaining bolt.
17. Check the coolant level in the res-
ervoir. If necessary, remove the
coolant reservoir cap, add coolant
to the maximum level mark, and
then install the cap.
18. Install the fuel tank. Tightening torque:
Coolant drain bolt:
7 Nm (0.7 m·kgf)
Antifreeze/water mixture ratio:
1:1
Recommended antifreeze:
High-quality ethylene glycol
antifreeze containing corrosion
inhibitors for aluminum engines
Coolant quantity:
Total amount:
