Additional Notes
- The Yamaha Ténéré 700 XTZ690 cooling system carries a split capacity across two separate volumes: 1.6 liters in the radiator and 0.25 liters in the reservoir, bringing the total coolant volume to 1.85 liters when both are filled.
- The 1.6-liter radiator figure represents the primary service fill capacity, meaning the volume required to properly charge the main cooling circuit during a coolant change or system service.
- The 0.25-liter reservoir capacity is a relatively modest overflow and expansion volume, consistent with the compact packaging typical of mid-displacement adventure motorcycles.
- Under normal use conditions, the coolant level inspection interval is set at 4,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first, reflecting a schedule tied to both distance and elapsed time.
- The coolant change interval is defined by time rather than mileage, with a 36-month replacement cycle specified under normal use conditions for the 2020 Ténéré 700 XTZ690.
- A time-based change interval of 36 months, rather than a mileage-based one, accounts for the chemical degradation of coolant additives that occurs regardless of how many miles the machine has covered.
