9. After the coolant is completely
drained, thoroughly flush the cool-
ing system with clean tap water.
10. Install the water pump drain bolt,
and then tighten it to the specified
torque.
NOTE:
Check the washer for damage and re-
place it if necessary.
11. Install the rubber coolant drain
plugs, and then install the cylinder
drain plug covers.
NOTE:
Check the rubber plugs for damage
and replace them if necessary.
12. Turn the coolant drain cock, mak-
ing sure to align the “OFF” with the
position indicator.
13. Pour the recommended coolant
into the reservoir to the maximum
level, and then install the cap.
14. Pour the recommended coolant
into the radiator until it is full.

●
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, 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.

tor, and then install the radiator
cap.

ervoir. If necessary, remove the
