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.

Cooling system
1. Check the coolant level in the coolant
reservoir when the engine is cold as the
coolant level will vary with engine tempera-
ture.
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.

5. Remove the coolant reservoir cap.
6. Disconnect the hose on the coolant reser-
voir side, and then 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 washer if it
is damaged, and then tighten the coolant
drain bolt to the specified torque.
9. Connect the coolant reservoir hose.
10. Pour the recommended coolant into the
radiator until it is full.
11. Pour the recommended coolant into the
coolant reservoir to the maximum level
mark.

12. Install the radiator cap and the coolant
reservoir cap.
13. Start the engine and let it idle for 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.
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.

Engine overheating
NOTE:
If it is difficult to get the recommended coolant, tap water can be temporarily used, provided that it is
changed to the recommended coolant as soon as possible.
w
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.
Wait until the
engine has cooled.Check the coolant level in the
reservoir tank and/or radiator.
Level is OK.
Level is low, check the
cooling system for leakage.
No
leakage.
Leakage.Ask a Yamaha dealer
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/or
repair the cooling system.
