19. Start the engine and let it idle for ten minutes.
20. Rev the engine five times.
21. Pour the recommended coolant into the radia-
tor until it is full.22. Stop the engine and allow it to cool. If the cool-
ant level has dropped after the engine has
cooled, add sufficient coolant until it reaches
the top of the radiator, and then install the ra-
diator cap.
23. Start the engine, and then check for coolant
leakage.
NOTE:If any leakage is found, have a Yamaha dealercheck the cooling system.

frequently if you are riding in unusually wet or dusty
areas.NOTE:There are two check hoses at the bottom of the air
filter case, which are located behind panels D and

WARNING
EWB02310Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability,
increasing the chance of an accident. Test the
brakes after washing. Apply the brakes several
times at slow speeds to let friction dry out thelinings.EBU27260Storage Short-term
Always store your ATV in a cool, dry place and, if
necessary, protect it against dust with a porous
cover.CAUTION:ECB00720
Storing the ATV in a poorly ventilated room
or covering it with a tarp while it is still wet,
will allow water and humidity to seep in and
cause rust.
To prevent corrosion, avoid damp cellars,
stables (because of the presence of ammo-
nia) and areas where strong chemicals arestored.Long-term
Before storing your ATV for several months:
1. Follow all the instructions in the “Cleaning”
section of this chapter.
2. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel stabilizer (if
available) to prevent the fuel from deteriorat-
ing.
3. Perform the following steps to protect the cyl-
inder, piston rings, etc. from corrosion.
a. Remove the spark plug cap and spark
plug.
b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine oil into the
spark plug bore.
c. Install the spark plug cap onto the spark
plug, and then place the spark plug on the
cylinder head so that the electrodes are
grounded. (This will limit sparking during
the next step.)
d. Turn the engine over several times with the
starter. (This will coat the cylinder wall with
oil.) Specified amount:
7.5 ml of stabilizer to each liter of fuel (or 1 oz
of stabilizer to each gallon of fuel)
