Installation Guide
-
Disconnect Battery: Ensure the engine is off and disconnect the negative battery cable for safety.
-
Locate Housing: Find the thermostat housing on the engine block. It is typically a small dome-shaped cover with a coolant hose attached.
-
Drain Coolant: Place a container underneath and partially drain the engine's coolant until its level is below the thermostat housing.
-
Remove Cover: Loosen and remove the bolts securing the thermostat housing cover. Note their positions if they are different lengths.
-
Remove Old Thermostat: Carefully lift off the cover. Remove the old thermostat and the gasket or o-ring.
-
Clean Surfaces: Thoroughly clean the mating surfaces of both the housing and the cover, removing any old gasket material or corrosion.
-
Install New Thermostat: Insert the new thermostat, ensuring it is oriented correctly (the spring side usually faces the engine). It is highly recommended to install a new thermostat gasket (not included) at the same time.
-
Reinstall Cover: Place the cover back on and tighten the bolts evenly in a star pattern to the manufacturer's specified torque. Do not overtighten.
-
Refill & Check: Reattach the hose, refill the cooling system with the appropriate coolant, and reconnect the battery. Run the engine and carefully check for leaks around the housing.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this thermostat fits my engine?
A: The most reliable method is to match the part number (6FP-12411-00-00) with your engine's service manual. You can also use the compatibility table on this page to check your Yamaha model and year. For further help, consult the Yamaha Serial Number Guide linked above.
Q: What are the common signs of a failing thermostat?
A: A thermostat can fail by sticking open or closed. If it sticks open, your engine may not reach its normal operating temperature, leading to poor performance and fuel economy. If it sticks closed, the engine will overheat, which can cause severe damage.
Q: Some retailers list this part as 62°C, but yours says 60°C. Which is correct?
A: This thermostat is manufactured to the OEM specification of 60°C (140°F). While some aftermarket sources may list a slightly different temperature, our part is designed to open at the correct 60°C for the listed Yamaha engines.
Q: OEM vs. Aftermarket?
A: This listing is an aftermarket replacement part (not an OEM component). We build to OEM specifications using comparable-grade materials. Production is done in an ISO9002-certified facility, and each batch is inspected for consistent performance.
Q: How fast do you ship and how much does it cost?
A: We offer fast global shipping—typically 5–15 days worldwide—and standard shipping is free. Expedited options are available at checkout depending on your location.

A: This product includes a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects under normal use. If something goes wrong, contact our support team with your order details.
