Periodic maintenance and adjustment mark, add coolant until it reaches the "COLD LEVEL" mark. (See the following section "Replenishing the coolant" for more details.) 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, replace 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 possible, otherwise the effectiveness of the coolant will be reduced.

more details.)
NOTICE:
If coolant is not
available, use distilled water or soft
tap water instead. Do not use hard wa-
ter or salt water since it is harmful to
the engine. If water has been used in-
stead of coolant, replace it with cool-
ant 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 pos-
sible, otherwise the effectiveness of
the coolant will be reduced.

Bleeding the cooling system
The cooling system must be bled if the cool-
ant reservoir becomes empty, if air can be
seen in the cooling system, or if there is a
cooling system leak. Consult a Yamaha deal-
er.
NOTICE

Operating the engine with an improperly
bled cooling system can cause overheat-
ing and severe engine damage.
Replenishing the coolant
