TIP
The air filter needs more frequent service if you are riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
Hydraulic brake service
• Regularly check and, if necessary, correct the brake fluid level.
• Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers, and change th\
e bra- ke fluid.
• Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

11. Pour the recommended coolant
into the radiator until it is full.
12. Install the radiator cap.
13. Run the engine several minutes.
Stop the engine and recheck the
coolant level in the radiator. If it is
low, add more coolant until it rea-
ches the top of the radiator.
14. Install the radiator cap, radiator
cap retainer and radiator cap
retaining bolt.
15. Fill the coolant reservoir with
coolant up to the maximum level.
16. Install the coolant reservoir cap
and check for coolant leakage.TIP
If any leakage is found, ask a Yamaha
dealer to inspect the cooling system.
17. Install the cowling and the panel.
