For those not on FB forums you may or may not be aware of a common fault with the bike dropping it's coolant. Every case save one so far has been a seal as shown in the pic. Most have gone around 20k mark and coincidence would have it that mine has started at 19.5k The seal in the image is for a 2016, my bike, and is part number 93210-27194 Funnily enough this item isn't available anymore as Yamaha have replaced it on the later models for part 93210-27778. This is the one you want. For those with a 3 year old bike or approaching 20k miles I'd think about changing this seal as part of your next service. It looks a right bastard though as it's sat behind the exhaust and require the coolant to be drained, radiator removed and headers off 🙄

Great info to have on board, I hadn't heard of this happening but good to know and will keep an eye out for it.

Great post. I am 19000 miles on my 2016 and was thinking coolant change time. Thanks especially good on the part number info.

I'd add to this that I'd advocate you get new flange brackets, gaskets and bolts for the headers too. I managed to do the job without removing the headers but what a pig. If I'd had the time I would have bought those bits and just removed the whole exhaust. However after 3 years of shite I didn't fancy my chances of the brackets going back on due to the corrosion (another job for the spring 🙄) and I needed the bike the following day being my only transport. You also need the specific hose clip pliers £7.50 off Amazon.

Silly me. I've been informed, and it's quite clear when you look at it, that those brackets don't come off the headers
You need a complete set 🙄.
I've used this as an excuse to go titanium where a good dead done with another owner has been returned and I've bagged a set for £200 posted.

Hey there sorry to revive this..l but I tried to do this without removing the headers and I tried using a fuse as a way to take the gasket out since I have no nails…. I ended up dropping the fuse inside the hard coolant line and now I’m freaking out. But I see you took the whole line off… I was not able to do that … felt like I was going to break something or I needed to take the line off top first. What would y’all suggest at this point. Also do we have to replace the gaskets at the oil cooler inlet and outlet? thanks in advance I'd add to this that I'd advocate you get new flange brackets, gaskets and bolts for the headers too.
