in this manual, have the vehicle inspecte d b y a Yamaha d ealer.
Before using this vehicle, check the following points:
ITEM CHECKSPAGE
Fuel • Check fuel level in fuel tank.
• Refuel if necessary.
• Check fuel line for leakage.
• Check fuel tank breather hose and overflow hose for
obstructions, cracks or damage, and check hose con-
nections. 3-28,
3-29
En gine oil • Check oil level in engine.
• If necessary, add recommended oil to specified level.
• Check vehicle for oil leakage. 6-10
Final gear oil • Check vehicle for oil leakage. 6-14
Coolant • Check coolant level in reservoir.
• If necessary, add recommended coolant to specified
level.
• Check cooling system for leakage. 6-16
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. 6-24,
6-25
Rear brake • Check operation.
• If soft or spongy, have Yamaha dealer bleed hydraulic
system.

Coolant
The 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.
EAU20095To check the coolant level
1. 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.
TIP
The 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
availab le, 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 been
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 red uced.

WARNING
EWAT1041
Do not remove the ra diator cap when the en gine an d ra diator are hot.
Scal din g hot flui d an d steam may b e blown out un der pressure, which
coul d cause serious injury. Be sure to wait until the eng ine has cooled.
 Place a thick ra g, like a towel, over the ra diator cap, an d then slowly ro-
tate the cap counterclockwise to the detent to allow any resi dual pres-
sure to escape. When the hissin g soun d has stopped , press down on the
cap while turnin g it counterclockwise, an d then remove the cap.
TIP
If coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided
that it is changed to the recommended coolant as soon as possible.
Wait until the engine
has cooled.
Check the coolant
level in the reservoir
and radiator.Add coolant.
