PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR
4. Add coolant or distilled water to
raise the coolant to the specified
level, close the coolant reservoir
cap, and then install the rider seat.
Coolant reservoir capacity:
0.23 L
CAUTION:
_
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.
6
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.
