2006 YAMAHA DT125R coolant capacity

NOTE:
The coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
4. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, open the
reservoir cap, add coolant to the
maximum level mark, and then
close the reservoir cap.
Coolant reservoir capacity:
0,3 L (0,32 US qt)
ECA10470
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 coo-
lant as soon as possible, other-
wise the engine may not be
sufficiently cooled and the coo-
ling system will not be protec-
ted 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 possi-
ble, otherwise the effective-
ness of the coolant will be
reduced.

WARNING
Never attempt to remove the radia-
tor cap when the engine is hot.
5. Install the panel.
NOTE:
If the engine overheats, see page

To change the coolant
1. Radiator cap bolt
2. Radiador cap
1. Put the vehicle on a level place.
2. Remove cowling C and panel D.
(See page 6-5 ~ 6-6.)
3. Remove the radiator cap stopper
bolt and the radiator cap.
1. Drain bolt
4. Place a container under the engi-
ne and remove the coolant drain
bolt.
5. Disconnect the coolant reservoir
hose on the reservoir side and
drain the coolant from the reser-
voir.
6. After draining the coolant, tho-
roughly flush the cooling system
with clean tap water.
7. Replace the coolant drain bolt
washer if it is damaged, and then
tighten the coolant drain bolt to
the specified torque.6

ze containing corrosion inhibitors for
aluminum engines
Antifreeze/water mixing ratio:
1:1

10. Install the radiator cap.
11. Run the engine several minutes.
Stop the engine and recheck the
coolant level in the radiator. If it is
low, add more coolant until it rea-
ches the top of the radiator.
12. Install the radiator cap stopper
bolt.
13. Fill the coolant reservoir with
coolant up to 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 cowling and the panel.

Cleaning the air filter
element and check hose
The air filter element should be clea-
ned at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart. Clean the air filter element more
frequently if you are riding in unu-
sually wet or dusty areas. In addition,
the air filter check hose must be fre-
quently checked and cleaned if
necessary.
