8In order to prevent clutch slippage (since
the engine oil also lubricates the clutch),
do not mix any chemical additives. Do not
use oils with a diesel specification of “CD”
or oils of a higher quality than specified. In
addition, do not use oils labeled “ENERGY
CONSERVING
II” or higher.
8Make sure that no foreign material enters
the crankcase.

leakage. If oil leakage is found, stop the
engine immediately, and check for the
cause.
8. Check the oil level.

Cooling system
1. Check the coolant level in the coolant
reservoir when the engine is cold as the
coolant level will vary with engine temper-
ature. The coolant level should be
between the maximum and minimum
marks.

3. Refill with the same type of brake fluid.
Mixing fluids may result in a harmful chem-
ical reaction and lead to poor brake perfor-
mance.
4. Be 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.
5. Brake fluid may deteriorate painted sur-
faces or plastic parts. Always clean up
spilled fluid immediately.
6. Have a Yamaha dealer check the cause if
the brake fluid level goes down.
