voir when the engine is cold as the coolant
level varies with engine temperature. The

Changing the coolant
The coolant must be changed by a Yamaha dealer
at the intervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart.
Adding water instead of coolant lowers the anti-
freeze content of the coolant. If water is used in-
stead of coolant, have a Yamaha dealer check the
antifreeze content of the coolant as soon as possi-
ble.
The radiator fan is automatically switched on or off
according to the coolant temperature in the radia-
tor.NOTICEMix antifreeze with distilled water only. Howev-
er, if distilled water is not available, soft water
may be used for refilling.If your vehicle overheats, see page 8-154 for in-
structions.
