6 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 panels A and C. (See
page 6-7.)
3. Place a container under the engine
to collect the used coolant.
4. Remove the radiator cap retaining
bolt and radiator cap. WARNING!
Never attempt to remove the ra-
diator cap when the engine is
hot.
[EWA10381]
5. Remove the coolant reservoir by
removing the bolts.6. Remove the coolant reservoir cap.
7. Drain the coolant from the coolant
reservoir by turning it upside down.
8. Install the coolant reservoir by
placing it in the original position,
and then installing the bolts.

69. Remove the coolant drain bolt and
its gasket to drain the cooling sys-
tem.
10. After the coolant is completely
drained, thoroughly flush the cool-
ing system with clean tap water.
11. Install the coolant drain bolt and its
new gasket, and then tighten the
bolt to the specified torque.
12. Pour the specified amount of the
recommended coolant into the ra-
diator and reservoir.13. Install the coolant reservoir cap.
14. Install the radiator cap.
15. Start the engine, let it idle for sev-
eral minutes, and then turn it off.
16. Remove the radiator cap to check
the coolant level in the radiator. If
necessary, add sufficient coolant
until it reaches the top of the radia-
tor, and then install the radiator
cap and its retaining bolt.
17. Check the coolant level in the res-
ervoir. If necessary, remove the
coolant reservoir cap, add coolant
to the maximum level mark, and
then install the cap.18. Start the engine, and then check
the vehicle for coolant leakage. If
coolant is leaking, have a Yamaha
dealer check the cooling system.
19. Install the panels.
