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 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 possi-
ble, otherwise the effective-
ness of the coolant will be
reduced.

Changing the coolant
The coolant must be changed at the
intervals specified in the periodic
