7. Drain the coolant from the coolant
reservoir by turning it upside
down.
8. Remove the coolant drain bolt and its gasket to drain the cooling sys-
tem.
9. After the coolant is completely drained, thoroughly flush the cool-
ing system with clean tap water.
10. Install the coolant drain bolt and its new gasket, and then tighten
the bolt to the specified torque. 11. Install the coolant reservoir and its
cover by placing them in the origi-
nal position, and then installing the
bolts.
12. Pour the specified amount of the recommended coolant into the ra-
diator and reservoir.
13. Install the radiator cap.
14. Install the coolant reservoir cap.
15. Start the engine, let it idle for sev- eral minutes, and then turn it off.
16. Remove the radiator cap to check the coolant level in the radiator. If
necessary, add sufficient coolant
until it reaches the top of the radi-
ator, and then install the radiator
cap. 17. Check the coolant level in the res-
ervoir. If necessary, remove the
coolant reservoir cap, add coolant
to the maximum level mark, and
then install the cap.
18. Route the coolant reservoir breather hose through the guide
as shown.
19. Start the engine, and then check the vehicle for coolant leakage. If
coolant is leaking, have a Yamaha
dealer check the cooling system.

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,
