• Refuel if necessary.
• Check fuel line for leakage.
• Check fuel tank overflow hose for obstructions, cracks or damage, and check
hose connection. 3-16, 3-18
En gine oil • Check oil level in engine.
• If necessary, add recommended oil to specified level.
• Check vehicle for oil leakage. 6-10
Coolant • Check coolant level in reservoir.
• If necessary, add recommended coolant to specified level.
• Check cooling system for leakage. 6-13
Front brake • Check operation.
• If soft or spongy, have Yamaha dealer bleed hydraulic system.
• Check brake pads for wear.
• Replace if necessary.
• Check fluid level in reservoir.
• If necessary, add specified brake fluid to specified level.
• Check hydraulic system for leakage. 6-22, 6-23

6 11. Install and tighten the engine oil
filler cap.
12. Start the engine, and then let it idle for several minutes while checking
it for oil leakage. If oil is leaking,
immediately turn the engine off
and check for the cause.
TIPAfter the engine is started, the engine
oil pressure warning light should go off.
NOTICE
ECA20860
If the oil pressure warnin g li ght flick-
ers or remains on even if the oil level
is correct, imme diately turn the en-
g ine off an d have a Yamaha d ealer
check the vehicle.13. Turn the engine off, wait a few mi- nutes until the oil settles, and then
check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.
EAU20071
CoolantThe 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.
EAU20095
To check the coolant level1. Place the vehicle on a level surfa- ce and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.TIPThe coolant level must be
checked on a cold engine since
the level varies with engine tem-
perature.
 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. Check the coolant level in the
coolant reservoir.TIPThe coolant should be between the mi-
nimum and maximum level marks.

3. If the coolant is at or below the mi-
nimum level mark, remove the res-
ervoir cap. WARNING! Remove
only the coolant reservoir cap.
Never attempt to remove the ra-
d iator cap when the en gine is
hot.
[EWA15162]
4. Add coolant to the maximum level mark, and then install the reservoir
cap. NOTICE: If coolant is not
availa ble, use distille d water or
soft tap water instead . Do not
use har d water or salt water
since it is harmful to the en gine.
If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with cool-
ant as soon as possi ble, other-
wise the coolin g system will not
b e protecte d a gainst frost an d
corrosion. If water has b een
a dd ed to the coolant, have a
Yamaha dealer check the anti-
freeze content of the coolant as soon as possi
ble, otherwise the
effectiveness of the coolant will
b e re duce d.
[ECA10473]
EAU59863
To change the coolant
1. Place the vehicle on a level surfa- ce and let the engine cool if neces-
sary.
2. Place a container under the en- gine to collect the used coolant.
3. Remove the radiator cap retaining bolt and radiator cap. WARNING!
Never attempt to remove the ra-
d iator cap when the en gine is
hot.

reservoir by turning it upside
down.
7. Install the coolant reservoir and its cover by placing them in the origi-
nal position, and then installing the
bolt and quick fastener. 8. Remove the coolant drain bolt and
its gasket to drain the coolant from
the cooling system.
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.

coolant reservoir cap, add coolant
to the maximum level mark, and
then install the cap. 17. Start the engine, and then check
the vehicle for coolant leakage. If
coolant is leaking, have a Yamaha
dealer check the cooling system.

Replacin g the air filter ele-
ment an d cleaning the check
hoseThe air filter element should be re-
placed at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart. Have a Yamaha dealer replace
the air filter element more frequently if
you are riding in unusually wet or dusty
areas. However, the air filter check
hose can be easily reached and should
be frequently checked and cleaned if
necessary.
To clean the air filter check hose
1. Remove the air filter check hose under the air filter case.

slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the detent to allow any resid ual pressure to escape. When the hiss-
in g soun d has stopped , press down on the cap while turnin g it counterclockwise, an d then remove the cap.TIPIf coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided that it is changed to the recommended cool-
ant as soon as possible.
Wait until the
engine has cooled.
Check the coolant level in the
reservoir and radiator.
