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.


Make sure that no foreign material enters
the crankcase.

Cooling system
1. Check the coolant level in the coolant reser-
voir when the engine is cold as the coolant
level will vary with engine temperature.NOTE:_ The coolant should be between the minimum and
maximum level marks. _2. If the coolant is at or below the minimum level
mark, remove the coolant reservoir cap, and
then add coolant or distilled water to raise it to
the specified level.CAUTION:_ Hard water or salt water is harmful to the en-
gine. You may use soft water if you can’t get
distilled water. _
Coolant reservoir capacity
(up to the maximum level mark):
0.29 L

utes. 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 ra-
diator.
14. Check the coolant level in the reservoir. If it is
low, add coolant to the maximum level mark.
15. Start the engine and then check for coolant
leakage.NOTE:_ If any leakage is found, have a Yamaha dealer
check the cooling system. _16. Install the panel.
