and drain bolt to drain the oil from
the crankcase.
TIPSkip steps 6–12 if the oil filter cartridgeis not being replaced.
6. Remove the shift arm by removing
the bolt and pulling it off the shift
shaft.
7. Remove the fuel tank breath-
er/overflow hoses from the guides.8. Remove the oil filter cartridge with
an oil filter wrench.
TIPAn oil filter wrench is available at aYamaha dealer.
9. Apply a thin coat of clean engine
oil to the O-ring of the new oil filter
cartridge.TIPMake sure that the O-ring is properlyseated.
10. Install the new oil filter cartridge
with an oil filter wrench, and then
tighten it to the specified torque
with a torque wrench.

611. Install the fuel tank breather/over-
flow hoses into the guides, then
place them in their original posi-
tion.
12. Install the shift arm by aligning the
match mark on the shift arm with
the match mark on the shift shaft
and installing the bolt, then tighten-
ing it to the specified torque.
NOTICE: Be sure to align the
match marks to ensure proper
shifting. If the match marks are
not aligned, the shift arm willnot move correctly and you may
not be able to shift up or down.

13. Install the engine oil drain bolt, and
then tighten it to the specified
torque.TIPCheck the washer for damage and re-place it if necessary.14. Refill with the specified amount of
the recommended engine oil, and
then install and tighten the oil filler
cap.
TIPBe sure to wipe off spilled oil on any
parts after the engine and exhaust sys-tem have cooled down.NOTICE

In order to prevent clutch slip-
page (since the engine oil also
lubricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives. Do

63. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, remove pan-
el B. (See page 6-7.)
4. Remove the coolant reservoir cap,
add coolant to the maximum level
mark, and then install the reservoir
cap. WARNING! Remove only
the coolant reservoir cap. Never
attempt to remove the radiator
cap when the engine is hot.
[EWA15161]
NOTICE: 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 insteadof coolant, replace it with cool-
ant as soon as possible, other-
wise the cooling system will not
be protected against frost and
corrosion. If water has been
added to the coolant, have a
Yamaha dealer check the anti-
freeze content of the coolant as
soon as possible, otherwise the
effectiveness of the coolant will
be reduced.

To change the coolant
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face and let the engine cool if nec-
essary.
2. Remove cowlings B and C. (See
page 6-7.)
3. Place a container under the engine
to collect the used coolant.
4. Remove the radiator cap.
WARNING! Never attempt to re-
move the radiator cap when the
engine is hot.

tion shown, and then disconnect
the radiator hose to drain the radi-
ator.
7. Remove the coolant reservoir by
removing the bolts.
8. Remove the coolant reservoir cap,
and then turn the coolant reservoir
upside down to empty it.9. After the coolant is completely
drained, thoroughly flush the cool-
ing system with clean tap water.
10. Install the coolant reservoir by in-
stalling the bolts.
11. Connect the radiator hose, and
then move the hose clamp back to
its original position.
12. Install the coolant drain bolt, and
then tighten it to the specified
torque.
TIPCheck the washer for damage and re-place it if necessary.13. Pour the recommended coolant
into the reservoir to the maximum
level mark, and then install the
coolant reservoir cap.
14. Pour the recommended coolant
into the radiator until it is full.
15. Install the radiator cap, start the
engine, let it idle for several min-
utes, and then turn it off.
