Coolant
The coolant level should be checked before each
ride.
Checking the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Open the hood. (See pages 8-17–8-19 for
hood opening and closing procedures.)
3. Check the coolant level in the coolant reser-
voir when the engine is cold as the coolant
level varies with engine temperature.NOTE:_ The coolant should be between the minimum and
maximum level marks. _4. If the coolant is at or below the minimum level
mark, remove the reservoir cap, add coolant
to the maximum level mark, install the reser-
voir cap, and then close the hood.
Coolant reservoir capacity
(up to the maximum level mark):
0.35 L (0.31 Imp qt, 0.37 US qt)

CAUTION:_ Mix antifreeze with distilled water only. Howev-
er, if distilled water is not available, soft water
may be used for refilling._Changing the coolant
The coolant must be changed by a Yamaha dealer
at the intervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart.NOTE:_

Adding water instead of coolant lowers the
antifreeze content of the coolant. If water is
used instead of coolant, have a Yamaha
dealer check the antifreeze content of the
coolant as soon as possible.


The radiator fan operation is completely auto-
matic. It is switched on or off according to the
coolant temperature in the radiator.
_If your vehicle overheats, see page 8-134 for de-
tails.

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.Wait until the
engine has cooled.
Check the coolant level in the
coolant reserver and/or radiator.
Level is OK.Level is low, check the
