13. Add the specified amount of the

recommended engine oil, and then

install and tighten the oil filler cap.

CAUTION:

● In order to prevent clutch slip-

page (since the engine oil also

lubricates the clutch), do not

mix any chemical additives. Do

not use oils with a diesel speci-

fication of “CD” or oils of a high-

er quality than specified. In

addition, do not use oils labeled

“ENERGY CONSERVING II” or

higher.

● Make sure that no foreign mate-

rial enters the crankcase.

14. Start the engine, and then let it idle

for several minutes while checking

it for oil leakage. If oil is leaking, im-

mediately turn the engine off and

check for the cause.

NOTE:

After the engine is started, the engine

oil level warning light should go off if the

oil level is sufficient.

CAUTION:

ECA10400

If the oil level warning light flickers

or remains on, immediately turn the

engine off and have a Yamaha dealer

check the vehicle.

check the oil level and correct it if

necessary.

Coolant

The coolant level should be checked

before each ride. In addition, the cool-

ant must be changed at the intervals

specified in the periodic maintenance

and lubrication chart.

EAU39083

To check the coolant level

1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-

face and hold it in an upright posi-

tion.

NOTE:

● The coolant level must be checked

on a cold engine since the level

varies with engine temperature.

● Make sure that the vehicle is posi-

tioned straight up when checking

the coolant level. A slight tilt to the

side can result in a false reading.

2. Check the coolant level in the cool-

ant reservoir.

NOTE:

The coolant should be between the

minimum and maximum level marks.
