To check the coolant level
6
1. Place the motorcycle on a level
surface and hold it in an upright
position.
NOTE:
@
The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level
varies with engine temperature.
Make sure that the motorcycle is po-
sitioned straight up when checking
the coolant level. A slight tilt to the
side can result in a false reading.

If coolant is not available, use
distilled water or soft tap water
instead. Do not use hard water
or salt water since it is harmful
to the engine.
If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with cool-
ant as soon as possible, other-
wise the engine may not be
sufficiently cooled and the cool-
ing system will not be protected
against frost and corrosion.
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.
