8 4. Remove the coolant reservoir cap, add cool-
ant or distilled water to the maximum level
mark, install the reservoir cap, and then install
the panel.
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.TIPThe radiator fan is automatically switched on or
off according to the coolant temperature in the
radiator.If the engine overheats, see page 8-66 for fur-ther instructions.

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.

hole, tighten the water pump air bleed bolt to
the specified torque. Antifreeze/water mixture ratio:
1:1

taining corrosion inhibitors for aluminum en-
