To install the panelPlace the panel in the original position, and
then install the quick fastener screws.EBU35434Engine oil and oil filterCheck the engine oil level before each opera-
tion. In addition, change the oil and replace
the filter at the intervals specified in the gen-
eral maintenance and lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Remove panel C (page 8-10). 3. Start the engine and warm it up to a nor-
mal operating temperature (the engine oil
temperature should reach 60 °C [140 °F]),
then let the engine idle for a minimum of
ten seconds before turning the engine off.
TIPIf the engine is cold, take the vehicle for a
short drive or let it idle for approximately ten
minutes before checking the engine oil level. 4. Remove the engine oil tank filler cap and
wipe the dipstick with a clean rag.
5. Insert the dipstick back into the oil tank
(without screwing it in), and then remove
it again to check the oil level.TIPThe engine oil level should be between the tip
of the dipstick and the maximum level mark.

type to raise it to the correct level.
7. Check the O-ring for damage, and re-
place it if necessary.
8. Install the engine oil tank filler cap.

3. Check the coolant level when the engineis cold (the coolant level will vary with en-
gine temperature).TIPThe coolant level in the coolant reservoir
should be between the minimum and maxi-
mum level marks. 4. If the coolant level is at or below the mini-
mum level mark, remove the coolant res-
ervoir cap and add coolant to the maximum level mark.
NOTICE: If cool-
ant is not available, use distilled water
or soft tap water instead. Do not use
hard water or salt water since they are
harmful to the engine. If water has
been used instead of coolant, replace
it with coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise the cooling system will not
be protected against frost and corro-
sion. If water has been added to the
coolant, have a Yamaha dealer check
the antifreeze content of the coolant
as soon as possible, otherwise the ef-
fectiveness of the coolant will be re-
duced.
