ANTIFREEZE(F)
(P/N 619 590 204)
Alternative, or
if not available
Distilled water and
antifreeze solution
(50% distilled water,
50% antifreeze)
NOTICE
A blend of 50% antifreeze
with 50% distilled water will im-
prove the cooling efficiency. Using
water tap instead of distilled water,
would contribute to make deposits
in cooling system and to reduce an-
tifreeze efficiency. This could lead to
engine overheating.
To prevent antifreeze deterioration, al-
ways use the same brand. Never mix
different brands unless cooling system
is completely flushed and refilled.
NOTICE
To prevent rust formation
or freezing condition in cold areas,
always replenish the system with
50% antifreeze and 50% distilled wa-
ter. Pure antifreeze will freeze at a
higher temperature than the opti-
mal water/antifreeze mix. Always
use ethylene glycol antifreeze con-
taining corrosion inhibitors specif-
ically recommended for aluminum
engines.

TYPICAL
1. Oil reservoir
Unscrew injection oil reservoir cap to
fill up reservoir then fully tighten.
NOTICE
Check level and refill ev-
ery time you refuel.
WARNING
Do not overfill. Reinstall cap and
fully tighten.
Wipe off any oil
spills. Oil is highly flammable
when heated.
Engine Oil
(1200 4-TEC / 900 ACE)
Engine Oil Level Verification
NOTICE
Check level before each
ride and refill if necessary. Do
not overfill. Operating the engine
with an improper level may se-
verely damage engine. Wipe off any
spillage.
Place vehicle on a level surface and
proceed as follows to check oil level:
1. Start engine and let it reach its nor-
mal operating temperature. Engine
is at normal temperature when rear
radiator gets warm, indicating that
the thermostat is open.
2. Let engine run at idle for 30 more
seconds.
3. Stop engine.
