3. If the coolant is at or below the minimumlevel mark, remove the coolant reservoir
cap, add coolant to the maximum level
mark, and install the reservoir cap. Changing the coolant
WARNING
EWB01891Wait for the engine and radiator to cool be-
fore removing the radiator cap. You could
be burned by hot fluid and steam blown
out under pressure. Always place a thick
rag over the cap when opening. Allow any
remaining pressure to escape before com-
pletely removing the cap. 1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Remove the hood. (See page 8-10 for
hood removal and installation proce-
dures.)
3. Place a container under the engine to col- lect the used coolant.
4. Remove the radiator cap.

8. Disconnect the coolant reservoir hose,and then drain the coolant from the cool-
ant reservoir.
9. After draining the coolant, thoroughly flush the cooling 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. Connect the coolant reservoir hose.
12. Pour the recommended coolant into the
radiator until it is full.
13. Pour the recommended coolant into the
reservoir to the maximum level mark, and
then install the reservoir cap.
NOTICEECB02190Mix antifreeze with distilled water only.
However, if distilled water is not available,
soft water may be used for refilling. Do not
use hard water or salt water since they are
harmful to the engine.

14. Remove the right panel and right rearpanel. (See page 8-11 for right panel and
right rear panel removal and installation
procedures.)
15. Loosen the water pump air bleed bolt, without removing it, to allow all of the air
to escape from the air bleed bolt hole. 16. When coolant begins to flow out of the
bolt hole, tighten the water pump air
bleed bolt to the specified torque.
17. Loosen the cylinder head air bleed bolt, without removing it, to allow all of the air
to escape from the air bleed bolt hole.Antifreeze/water mixture ratio:1:1
Recommended antifreeze: High-quality ethylene glycol antifreeze con-
taining corrosion inhibitors for aluminum
engines
Coolant quantity: Radiator (including all routes):2.85 L (3.01 US qt, 2.51 Imp.qt)

18. When coolant begins to flow out of thebolt hole, tighten the cylinder head air
bleed bolt to the specified torque.
19. Start the engine and let it idle for ten mi- nutes.
20. Rev the engine five times.
21. Pour additional coolant into the radiator until it is full. 22. Stop the engine and allow it to cool. If the
coolant level has dropped after the en-
gine has cooled, add sufficient coolant
until it reaches the top of the radiator, and
then install the radiator cap.
23. Check the coolant level in the reservoir. If necessary, remove the coolant reservoir
cap, add coolant to the maximum level
mark, and then install the cap.
24. Start the engine, and then check for cool- ant leakage.
TIPIf any leakage is found, have a Yamaha dealer
check the cooling system. 25. Install the panels and the hood.EBU32400Axle bootsCheck the axle boots for holes or tears.
If any damage is found, have them replaced
by a Yamaha dealer.

replacing a fuse. 2. Remove the hood. (See page 8-10 forhood removal and installation proce-
dures.)
3. Remove the blown fuse, and then install a new fuse of the specified amperage.
WARNING! Always use a fuse of the specified amperage. Never use any
material in place of the proper fuse.
Using an improper fuse can cause
damage to the electrical system and
may lead to a fire.
