TIPIf genuine Yamaha coolant is not available, use an
ethylene glycol antifreeze containing corrosion in-
hibitors for aluminum engines and mix with dis-
tilled water at a 1:1 ratio. NOTICEECB02190Mix antifreeze with distilled water only. Howev-
er, 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 en-
gine. EBU34201To check the coolant level1. Park the ATV on a level surface.
TIPThe coolant level must be checked on a cold en-
gine since the level varies with engine tempera-
ture. 2. Check the coolant level in the coolant reser- voir.TIPThe coolant should be between the minimum and
maximum level marks.
Recommended coolant:YAMALUBE coolant
Coolant quantity: Coolant reservoir (up to full level):0.24 L (0.25 US qt, 0.21 Imp.qt)
Radiator (including all routes): 1.99 L (2.10 US qt, 1.75 Imp.qt)

93. If the coolant is at or below the minimum level
mark, remove panels A and C to access the
coolant reservoir. (See page 9-10.)
4. Remove the coolant reservoir cap, add cool- ant or distilled water to the maximum level
mark, install the reservoir cap, and then install
the panels. NOTICE: If coolant is not avail-
able, use distilled water or soft tap water
instead. Do not use hard water or salt wa-
ter 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 corrosion. If
water has been added to the coolant, have
a Yamaha dealer check the antifreeze con-
tent of the coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise the effectiveness of the coolant
will be reduced.
[ECB01012]
TIP The radiator fan is automatically switched on or
off according to the coolant temperature in the
radiator.
 If the engine overheats, see page 9-65 for fur-
ther instructions. 1. Coolant reservoir capCoolant reservoir capacity (up to the maxi-
mum level mark):

EBU34213To change the coolant
WARNING
EWB01891Wait for the engine and radiator to cool before
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 completely removing the cap. 1. Park the ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove panels A, B, C, and D. (See page9-10.)
3. Remove the footboard by removing the bolts and nuts. 4. Remove the radiator cap.
1. Footboard
2. Bolt and nut

95. Place a container under the engine, and then
remove the coolant drain bolt and its gasket.
(Use a trough or a similar object as shown to
prevent coolant from spilling on the engine
guard.)

6. Place a container under the coolant reservoir
to collect the used coolant.
7. Remove the coolant reservoir cap.
8. Disconnect the coolant reservoir hose on the coolant reservoir side, and then drain the
coolant from the coolant reservoir.
9. After draining the coolant, thoroughly flush the cooling system with clean tap water.
10. Install the coolant drain bolt and its new gas- ket, and then tighten the bolt to the specified
torque. 11. Connect the coolant reservoir hose.
12. Pour the recommended coolant into the radi-
ator until it is full.
13. Pour the recommended coolant into the res- ervoir to the maximum level mark, and then
install the reservoir cap.
14. Loosen the water pump air bleed bolt, with- out removing it, to allow all of the air to es-
cape from the air bleed bolt hole.

915. When coolant begins to flow out of the bolt
hole, tighten the water pump air bleed bolt to
the specified torque.
16. Remove panel E. (See page 9-10.)
17. Loosen the clamp screw, and then remove the V-belt cooling duct. 18. Loosen the cylinder head air bleed bolt, with-
out removing it, to allow all of the air to es-
cape from the air bleed bolt hole.
19. When coolant begins to flow out of the bolt hole, tighten the cylinder head air bleed bolt
to the specified torque.
20. Start the engine and let it idle for ten minutes.
21. Rev the engine five times.

22. Pour additional coolant into the radiator until
it is full.
23. 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.
24. Start the engine, and then check for coolant leakage.
TIPIf any leakage is found, have a Yamaha dealer
check the cooling system. 25. Install the V-belt cooling duct, and then tight-en the clamp screw.
26. Install the footboard by installing the bolts and nuts, and then tighten them to the speci-
fied torques.
TIPTighten footboard bolts B in the order shown. 1. Footboard nut

EBU34234Cleaning the air filter elementThe air filter element should be cleaned at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic maintenance
chart. Clean or replace the air filter element more
frequently if you ride in unusually wet or dusty ar-
eas.TIPThere is a check hose at the bottom of the air filter
case. If dust or water collects in this hose, empty
the hose and clean the air filter element and air fil-
ter case. 1. Park the ATV on a level surface.
