tem, reducing braking perfor-
mance.
● Clean the filler cap before re-
moving. Use only DOT 4 brake
uid from a sealed container.● Use only the specified brake
fluid; otherwise, the rubber
seals may deteriorate, causing
leakage.● Refill with the same type of
brake uid. Adding a brake u-
id other than DOT 4 may result
in a harmful chemical reaction.● Be careful that water does not
enter the brake fluid reser-
voir when refilling. Water will
significantly lower the boiling
point of the fluid and may re-
sult in vapor lock.

NOTICEBrake fluid may damage painted
surfaces or plastic parts. Always
clean up spilled uid immediately.
As the brake pads wear, it is normal
for the brake fluid level to gradually

WARNING
Improper maintenance can result
in loss of braking ability. Observe
these precautions:● Insufficient brake fluid may al-
low air to enter the brake sys- shoes as a set.

Engine overheating
EWAT1040
WARNING
●
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot uid and steam may be
blown out under pressure, which could cause serious injury. Be sure to wait until the engine has cooled.
●
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 hissing sound has stopped, press down on the
cap while turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.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.
TIPIf coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided that it is changed to the recommended
coolant as soon as possible.
