EAU15596
Inspect your vehicle each time you use it to make sure the vehicle is in safe operating condition. Always follow the ins-
pection and maintenance procedures and schedules described in the Owner’s Manual.
EWA11151
Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an accident or equipment dama-
ge. Do not operate the vehicle if you find any problem. If a problem cannot be corrected by the procedures pro-
vided in this manual, have the vehicle inspected by a Yamaha dealer.
Before using this vehicle, check the following points:
WARNING
ITEM CHECKS PAGE
• Check fuel level in fuel tank.
• Refuel if necessary.
Fuel• Check fuel line for leakage. 3-14
• Check the fuel tank breather/overflow hose for obstructions, cracks or
damage, and check the hose connection.
• Check oil level in oil tank.
Engine oil• If necessary, add recommended oil to specified level. 6-11
• Check vehicle for oil leakage.
• Check coolant level in reservoir.
Coolant• If necessary, add recommended coolant to specified level. 6-14
• Check cooling system for leakage.
• Check operation.
• If soft or spongy, have Yamaha dealer bleed hydraulic system.
• Check lever free play.
• Adjust if necessary.
Front brake• Check brake pads for wear. 6-21
• Replace if necessary.
• Check fluid level in reservoir.
• If necessary, add recommended brake fluid to specified level.
• Check hydraulic system for leakage.

Coolant
The coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the coo-
lant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAU20253
To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on a level surface
and hold it in an upright position.
TIP
The coolant level must be chec-
ked on a cold engine since the
level varies with engine tempera-
ture.
Make sure that the vehicle is
positioned straight up when
checking the coolant level. A
slight tilt to the side can result in
a false reading.
2. Check the coolant level in the
coolant reservoir.
TIP
The coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
1. Coolant reservoir
2. Maximum level mark
3. Minimum level mark
4. Coolant reservoir cap
3. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, remove
panel E (See page 6-8). , remove
the reservoir cap, add coolant to
the maximum level mark, and
then install the reservoir cap and
the panel. 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 avai-
lable, 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 instead of
coolant, replace it with coolant
as soon as possible, otherwise
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.
[ECA10472]
Coolant reservoir capacity (up to
the maximum level mark):
0.50 L (0.53 US qt, 0.44 Imp.qt)

Engine overheatingEWA10400
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may be
blown out under pressure, which could cause serious injury. Be sure to wait until the engine has cooled.
After removing the radiator cap retaining bolt, place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radiator cap, and then
slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the detent to allow any residual pressure to escape. When the his-
sing sound has stopped, press down on the cap while turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.
TIP
If coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided that it is changed to the recommended
coolant as soon as possible.
Wait until the
engine has cooled.Check the coolant level in the
reservoir and radiator.
The coolant level
is OK.
The coolant level is low.
Check the cooling system
for leakage.
Have a Yamaha dealer checkand repair the cooling system.
Add coolant. (See TIP.)
Start the engine. If the engine overheats again, have a
Yamaha dealer check and repair the cooling system.
There is
leakage.
There is
no leakage.
