Coolant

The coolant level should be checked
regularly. In addition, the coolant must
be changed at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance chart.
Recommended coolant:
YAMALUBE coolant
Coolant quantity:
Coolant reservoir (max level mark):
0.25 L (0.26 US qt, 0.22 Imp.qt)
Radiator (including all routes):
1.60 L (1.69 US qt, 1.41 Imp.qt)
TIP
If genuine Yamaha coolant is not avail-
able, use an ethylene glycol antifreeze
containing corrosion inhibitors for alu-
minum engines and mix with distilled
water at a 1:1 ratio.
To check the coolant level
Since the coolant level varies with en-
gine temperature, check when the en-
gine is cold.
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
6-13
2. With the vehicle in an upright posi-
EAUS1203
tion, look at the coolant level in the
reservoir.
