PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT 13. Hold the vehicle upright, and pour the specified amount of the recommended coolant into the radiator and reservoir. NOTICE: Failing to hold the vehicle upright when filling the radiator with coolant may cause air to be trapped in the cooling system. [ECA16540] Antifreeze/water mixture ratio: 1:1 Recommended antifreeze: High-quality ethylene glycol antifreeze containing corrosion inhibitors for aluminum engines Coolant quantity: Radiator capacity (including all routes): 3.75 L (3.96 US qt, 3.30 Imp.qt) Coolant reservoir capacity (up to the maximum level mark): 0.27 L (0.29 US qt, 0.24 Imp.qt) 17. Remove the radiator cap to check the coolant level in the radiator. If necessary, add sufficient coolant until it reaches the top of the radiator, and then install the radiator cap. 18. Check the coolant level in the reservoir. If necessary, remove the coolant reservoir cap guard and the cap, add coolant to the maximum level mark, and then install the cap and the cap guard. 19. Start the engine, and then check the vehicle for coolant leakage. If coolant is leaking, have a Yamaha dealer check the cooling system. 20. Install the air intake duct by installing the bolts.

14. Install the coolant reservoir cap,
and then install the reservoir cap
guard by installing the bolt.
15.
Install the radiator cap.
16.
Start the engine, let it idle for sev-
eral minutes, and then turn it off.
17.
Remove the radiator cap to check
the coolant level in the radiator. If
necessary, add sufficient coolant
until it reaches the top of the radia-
tor, and then install the radiator
cap.
18.
Check the coolant level in the res-
ervoir. If necessary, remove the
coolant reservoir cap guard and
the cap, add coolant to the maxi-
mum level mark, and then install
the cap and the cap guard.
19. Start the engine, and then check
