Replenishing the coolant WARNING @ G G Do not remove the coolant reservoir cap when the engine is hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may be blown out under pressure, which could cause serious injury. When the engine has cooled, place a thick rag or towel over the coolant reservoir cap, and slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the detent. This procedure allows any residual pressure to escape. When the hissing sound has stopped, press down on the cap while turning counterclockwise and remove it. The cooling system must be bled of air if the coolant reservoir becomes empty, if air can be seen in the cooling system, or if there is a cooling system leak. Consult a Yamaha dealer. @ 1. Remove the top cover. (See pages 8-5-8-7 for removal procedures.) 2. Remove the coolant reservoir cap, fill the reservoir with the recommended coolant, and then install the cap. 3. Remove the coolant recovery tank cap, add the recommended coolant until it reaches the "COLD LEVEL" mark, and then install the cap. Recommended coolant: High quality ethylene glycol antifreeze containing corrosion inhibitors. Antifreeze and water mixing ratio: 60:40 Total amount: For RX10GT 6.0 L (5.28 Imp qt, 6.34 US qt) For RX10M 6.4 L (5.63 Imp qt, 6.76 US qt) 1 "COLD LEVEL" mark 2 Coolant reservoir cap 3 Coolant recovery tank cap 8-15

Replenishing the coolant
WARNING
@
●
Do not remove the coolant reservoir cap when
the engine is hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam
may be blown out under pressure, which could
cause serious injury.
When the engine has cooled, place a thick rag or
towel over the coolant reservoir cap, and slowly
rotate the cap counterclockwise to the detent.
This procedure allows any residual pressure to
escape. When the hissing sound has stopped,
press down on the cap while turning counter-
clockwise and remove it.
●
The cooling system must be bled of air if the
coolant reservoir becomes empty, if air can be
seen in the cooling system, or if there is a cooling
system leak. Consult a Yamaha dealer.
@
1. Remove the top cover. (See pages 8-5–8-7 for
removal procedures.)
2. Remove the coolant reservoir cap, fill the reservoir
with the recommended coolant, and then install the
cap.
3. Remove the coolant recovery tank cap, add the rec-
ommended coolant until it reaches the “COLD
LEVEL” mark, and then install the cap.
