1. Floorboard mat
4. Open the reservoir cap, and then
add coolant to the maximum
level mark. 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 andcorrosion. 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.

6. Place the floorboard mat in the
original position and push it
downward to secure it.

Changing the coolant
The coolant must be changed at the
intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
Have a Yamaha dealer change the
coolant. WARNING! Never attempt
to remove the radiator cap when
the engine is hot.

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.
