If water has been added to the
coolant, have a Yamaha dealer
check the antifreeze content of
the coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise the effectiveness ofthe coolant will be reduced.WARNING
EWA10380
Never attempt to remove the radiatorcap when the engine is hot.
5. Install the panel.NOTE:
The radiator fans are automatically
switched on or off according to the
coolant temperature in the radia-
tor.
If the engine overheats, see page6-38 for further instructions.

Changing the coolant
WARNING
EWA10380
Never attempt to remove the radiatorcap when the engine is hot.The coolant must be changed at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart. Have a
Yamaha dealer change the coolant.

Replacing the air filter element The air filter element should be re-
placed at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart. Replace the air filter element
more frequently if you are riding in un-
usually wet or dusty areas.
1. Remove the rider seat. (See page
3-16.)
2. Remove panels A and B. (See
page 6-6.)
3. Remove the cowling bolts, and
then pull the cowling off.
4. Remove the fuel tank bolts.1. Cowling

sealed-type (MF) battery charg-
er, have a Yamaha dealer
charge your battery.

Replacing the fuses The main fuse, the fuel injection system
fuse, and the fuse box, which contains
the fuses for the individual circuits, are
located under the rider seat. (See page
3-16.)
If a fuse is blown, replace it as follows.
NOTE:Include steps 2 and 6 only for the fuelinjection system fuse.
1. Turn the key to “OFF” and turn off
the electrical circuit in question.
2. Unhook the battery band, and then
remove the battery cover.

3. Remove the blown fuse, and then
install a new fuse of the specified
amperage.
CAUTION:
ECA10640
Do not use a fuse of a higher amper-
age rating than recommended to
avoid causing extensive damage to
the electrical system and possibly afire.
4. Turn the key to “ON” and turn on
the electrical circuit in question to
check if the device operates.
5. If the fuse immediately blows
again, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical system.6. Install the battery cover, and then
hook the battery band onto the
holder.

6Engine overheating
WARNING
EWAT1040
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may be
blown out under pressure, which could cause serious injury. Be sure to wait until the engine has cooled.
Place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radiator cap, and then slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the de-
tent to allow any residual pressure to escape. When the hissing sound has stopped, press down on the capwhile turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.
NOTE:If coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided that it is changed to the recommended coolantas soon as possible.
Wait until the
engine has cooled.
Check the coolant level in the
reservoir and radiator.
The coolant level
is OK.The coolant level is low.
Check the cooling system
for leakage.
Have a Yamaha dealer checkand repair the cooling system.Add coolant. (See NOTE.)
Start the engine. If the engine overheats again,
have a
Yamaha dealer check
and repair the cooling system.
There is
leakage.
There is
no leakage.
