PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR
Antifreeze/water mixture ratio:
1:1
Recommended antifreeze:
High-quality ethylene glycol anti-
1
freeze containing corrosion inhib-
itors for aluminum engines
Coolant quantity:
2
Radiator capacity (including all
routes):
1.70 L (1.80 US qt) (1.50 Imp.qt)
3
Coolant reservoir capacity (up to the
maximum level mark):
0.25 L (0.26 US qt) (0.22 Imp.qt)
4
CAUTION:
5
G
If coolant is not available, use
distilled water or soft tap water
6
instead. Do not use hard water
or salt water since it is harmful
7
to the engine.
G
If water has been used instead
8
of coolant, replace it with cool-
ant as soon as possible, other-
9
wise the engine may not be
sufficiently cooled and the cool-
ing system will not be protected
against frost and corrosion.
G
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 effectiveness of
the coolant will be reduced.
15. Install the radiator cap, start the
engine, let it idle for several min-
utes, and then turn it off.
16. Remove the radiator cap to check
the coolant level in the radiator. If
necessary, add sufficient coolant
ECA10470 until it reaches the top of the radia-
tor, and then install the radiator
cap and the cap retaining bolt.
17. Check the coolant level in the res-
ervoir. If necessary, remove the
coolant reservoir cap, add coolant
to the maximum level mark, and
then install the cap.
18. Install the fuel tank.
WARNING
G
Before installing the fuel tank,
make sure that the fuel hoses
are not damaged. If any fuel
hose is damaged, do not start
6-13
the engine but have a Yamaha
dealer replace the hose, other-
wise fuel may leak.
G
Make sure that the fuel hoses
are properly connected and
routed, and not pinched.
G
Be sure to place the fuel tank
breather hose in the original po-
sition.
19. Install the panel, the cowling, and
the seat.
20. Start the engine, and then check
the vehicle for coolant leakage. If
coolant is leaking, have a Yamaha
dealer check the cooling system.
