3. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, remove pan-
el A (See page 6-8.), remove the
coolant reservoir cap, add coolant
to the maximum level mark, and
then install the reservoir cap and
the panel. WARNING! Remove
only the coolant reservoir cap.
Never attempt to remove the ra-
diator cap when the engine is
hot.
[EWA15162]
NOTICE: If coolant is
not available, 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 cool-
ant as soon as possible, other-
wise the cooling system will not
be protected against frost and
corrosion. 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.
[ECA10473]
EAU33032
Changing the coolant
The coolant must be changed at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic main-
tenance and lubrication chart. Have a
Yamaha dealer change the coolant.
WARNING! Never attempt to remove
the radiator cap when the engine is
hot.
[EWA10382]EAUB1483
Replacing the air filter ele-
ment and cleaning the check
hoseThe air filter element should be re-
placed at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart. Replace the air filter element
more frequently if you are riding in un-
usually wet or dusty areas. In addition,
the air filter check hose must be fre-
quently checked and cleaned if neces-
sary.
To replace the air filter element
1. Remove the seat. (See page 3-16.)
2. Remove the air filter case cover by
removing the screws.
