812. Pour the recommended coolant into the reser-
voir to the maximum level mark, and then in-
stall the reservoir cap.
NOTICEECB00401If coolant is not available, use distilled water
or soft tap water instead. Do not use hard wa-
ter or salt water since it is harmful to the en-
gine.If water has been used instead of coolant, re-
place it with coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise the cooling system will not be pro-
tected against frost and corrosion.
If water has been added to the coolant, have
a Yamaha dealer check the antifreeze con-
tent of the coolant as soon as possible, oth-
erwise the effectiveness of the coolant willbe reduced.
13. Loosen the water pump air bleed bolt, without
removing it, to allow all of the air to escape
from the air bleed bolt hole.
14. When coolant begins to flow out of the bolt
hole, tighten the water pump air bleed bolt to
the specified torque. Antifreeze/water mixture ratio:
1:1
Recommended antifreeze:
High-quality ethylene glycol antifreeze con-
taining corrosion inhibitors for aluminum en-
gines
Coolant quantity:
Radiator capacity (including all routes):
1.99 L (2.10 US qt, 1.75 Imp.qt)
Coolant reservoir capacity (up to the maxi-
mum level mark):

822. 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.
TIPIf any leakage is found, have a Yamaha dealercheck the cooling system.
24. Install the V-belt cooling duct, and then tighten
the clamp screw.
25. Install the panels.EBU27804Cleaning the air filter element The air filter element should be cleaned at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart. Clean or, if necessary, replace
the air filter element more frequently if you are
riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.TIPThere are two check hoses at the bottom of the air
filter case, which are located behind panels D and
E. (See page 8-8 for an explanation on removingthe panels.) Check the hoses periodically and, if
dust or water collects in them, empty them and
clean the air filter element and air filter case.1. Air filter case check hose

The main fuse, the fuel injection system fuse, the
EPS fuse, and the fuse box are located under pan-
el A. (See page 8-8.)
If a fuse is blown, replace it as follows.
1. Turn the key to “OFF” and turn off all electrical
circuits.
NOTICEECB00640To prevent accidental short-circuiting, turn off
the main switch when checking or replacing afuse.
2. Remove the blown fuse, and then install a
new fuse of the specified amperage.

WARNING
EWB02171Always use a fuse of the specified rating, and
never use a substitute object in place of the
proper fuse. An improper fuse or a substitute
object can cause damage to the electrical sys-tem, which could lead to a fire.
3. Turn the key to “ON” and turn on the electrical
circuits to check if the devices operate.
4. If the fuse immediately blows again, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical system.EBU27440Replacing a headlight bulb If a headlight bulb burns out, replace it as follows.
1. Remove the cover at the rear of the headlight
by pulling it off. Specified fuses:

8Engine overheating
WARNING
EWB02290Wait 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.TIPIf coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided that it is changed to the rec-ommended coolant as 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 check
and repair the cooling system.Add coolant. (See TIP.)
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.
