minimum level mark, remove pan-
el B for TDM900 or panel A for
TDM900A (See page 6-6.), re-
move the reservoir cap, add cool-
ant to the maximum level mark,
and then install the reservoir cap
and the panel.
WARNING! Re-
move only the coolant reservoir
cap. Never attempt to remove
the radiator cap when the en-
gine is hot.
[EWA15161]
NOTICE:
If
coolant is not available, use dis-
tilled water or soft tap water in-
stead. 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 coolant as soon as possi-
ble, otherwise the cooling sys-
tem will not be protected
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 possible,
otherwise the effectiveness of
the coolant will be re-
duced.

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 seat. (See
page 3-16.)
2. Remove cowlings A and B as well
as panels A and B. (See
page 6-6.)
3. Remove the fuel tank bolts.
TIP
For TDM900, skip steps 4 and 12.
