material enters the final trans-
mission case.
Make sure that no oil gets on
the tire or wheel.
7. Check the final transmission case
for oil leakage. If oil is leaking,
check for the cause.

Coolant
The coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the coo-
lant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAUS1272
To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on a level surfa-
ce and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
NOTE:
The coolant level must be chec-
ked on a cold engine since the
level varies with engine tempera-
ture.
Make sure that the vehicle is
positioned straight up when
checking the coolant level. A
slight tilt to the side can result in
a false reading.
2. Check the coolant level through
the check window.
1. Maximum level mark
2. Minimum level mark
3. Coolant level window
NOTE:
The coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
3. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, remove the
right floorboard mat by pulling it
up.
4. Open the reservoir cap, and then
add coolant to the maximum
level mark.
Recommended final transmission
oil:
See page 8-1.

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.

Never attempt to remove the radia-
tor cap when the engine is hot.
5. Close the coolant reservoir cap.
6. Place the floorboard mat in the original position and push it
downward to secure it.

Never attempt to remove the radia-
tor cap when the engine is hot.
The coolant must be changed at the
intervals specified in the periodic

ced and the V-belt case air filter ele-
ment should be cleaned at the inter-
vals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
Service the air filter elements more
frequently if you are riding in unu-
sually wet or dusty areas.
Replacing the air filter element 1. Place the scooter on the centers- tand.

WARNING
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.
After removing the radiator cap retaining bolt, place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radiator cap, and then
slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the detent to allow any residual pressure to escape. When the his-
sing sound has stopped, press down on the cap while turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.
