0-10 hours:
Avoid continuous operation above half throttle.
Allow a cooling off period of five to ten minutes
after every hour of operation. Vary the speed of
the machine from time to time. Do not operate it
at one set throttle position.
10-20 hours:
Avoid prolonged operation above 3/4 throttle.
Rev the machine freely through the gears but do
not use full throttle at any time.
After break-in:
Avoid prolonged full throttle operation. Vary
speeds occasionally.

7. Start the engine and warm up for a few
minutes. While warming up, check for oil
leakage. If oil leakage is found, stop the
engine immediately, and check for the
cause.
8. Turn the engine off, and then check the oil
level and correct it if necessary.

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.

6. Disconnect the hose on the coolant reser-
voir side and drain the coolant from the
coolant reservoir.
7. After draining the coolant, thoroughly flush
the cooling system with clean tap water.
8. Replace the coolant drain bolt washers if
they are damaged, and then tighten the
coolant drain bolts to the specified torque.
9. Install the coolant reservoir hose.
10. Pour the recommended coolant into the
radiator until it is full.

12. Run the engine several minutes. Stop the
engine, and then check the coolant level in
the radiator. If it is low, add more coolant
until it reaches the top of the radiator.
13. Fill the coolant reservoir with coolant up to
the maximum level.
14. Install the coolant reservoir cap and check
for coolant leakage.
NOTE:
If any leakage is found, ask a Yamaha dealer to
inspect the cooling system.
15. Install the radiator cover by installing the
bolts.

to inspect and repair
the cooling system.
Add coolant.
(See NOTE.)
Restart the engine. If the engine overheats
again, ask a Yamaha dealer to inspect and
repair the cooling system.
NOTE:
If it is difficult to get recommended coolant, tap water can be temporarily used, provided that it is
changed to the recommended coolant as soon as possible.

Wait for the engine and radiator to cool before removing the radiator cap. You could be burned
by hot fluid and steam blown out under pressure. Always put a thick rag over the cap when
opening. Allow any remaining pressure to escape before completely removing the cap.
