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 engine
has cooled, add sufficient coolant until it
reaches the top of the radiator, and then in-
stall the radiator cap.
23. Start the engine, and then check for coolant leakage.
TIPIf any leakage is found, have a Yamaha dealer
check the cooling system. 24. Install the footboard by installing the boltsand nuts, and then tighten them to the speci-
fied torques.
