reading may be affected when
riding slowly [approximately under
20 km/h (12.5 mi/h)] or when
stopped at traffic signals, railroad
crossings, etc.

cates the temperature of the coolant.
The coolant temperature varies with
changes in the weather and engine
load.
If the message “Hi” flashes, stop the ve-
hicle, then stop the engine, and let the

Coolant The coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the cool-
ant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAU54160
To check the coolant level1. Place the vehicle on the center- stand.TIP●
The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level
varies with engine temperature.
●
Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking
the coolant level. A slight tilt to the
side can result in a false reading.
2. Remove the left cowling vent pan-el. (See page 3-40.)
3. Check the coolant level in the cool- ant reservoir.TIPThe coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
4. If the coolant is at or below theminimum level mark, remove the
coolant reservoir cap.
5. Add coolant or distilled water to raise the coolant to the maximum
level mark, and install the coolant reservoir cap. WARNING! Re-
move only the coolant reservoir
cap. Never attempt to remove
the radiator cap when the en-
gine is hot.
[EWA15161]

NOTICE: If
coolant is not available, use dis-
tilled water or soft tap water in-
stead. 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 possi-
ble, otherwise the cooling sys-
tem will not be protected
against frost and corrosion. If
water has been added to the
coolant, have a Yamaha dealer
check the antifreeze content of
the coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise the effectiveness of
the coolant will be reduced.
