Coolant - Yamaha YP125R Owner's Manual

Coolant

The coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the coo-
lant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on a level surfa-
ce and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
TIP
●
The coolant level must be chec-
ked on a cold engine since the
level varies with engine tempera-
ture.
●
Make sure that the vehicle is
positioned straight up when
checking the coolant level. A
slight tilt to the side can result in
a false reading.
2. Check the coolant level through
the check window.

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 coolant as soon as possi-
ble, otherwise the cooling sys-
tem 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 possi-
ble, otherwise the effective-
ness of the coolant will be
reduced.
