5. Remove the coolant reservoir
cap, and then add coolant to the
maximum level mark.
WARNING!
Remove only the coolant reser-
voir cap. Never attempt to re-
move the radiator cap when the
engine is hot.
NOTICE:
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, re-
place it with coolant as soon as
possible, otherwise the cooling
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 possi-
ble, otherwise the effective-
ness of the coolant will be
reduced.
Coolant reservoir capacity (up to the
maximum level mark):
0.28 L (0.30 US qt, 0.25 Imp.qt)
6. Install the coolant reservoir cap.
7. Place the coolant reservoir cap re-
tainer in the original position, and
then tighten the bolt to the speci-
fied torque.
Tightening torque:
Coolant reservoir cap retainer bolt:
7 Nm (0.7 m·kgf, 5 ft·lbf)
8. Install the cowling.
