Checking the coolant level (fig. 28.1)
Check the coolant level in the expansion reservoir, on the
LH side of the motorcycle.
The coolant level must be between the
MAX and MIN
marks.
Top up if the level is too low.
Remove the l.h. body panel and the fuel tank. Lift the tail
guard and undo the rear screw (2, fig. 28.2). Remove the
tank from its front clamping by pulling the tank
backwards. Move it to the right leaving fuel tubing
connected.
Unscrew the filler (1, fig. 28.1) and add a mixture
consisting of water and antifreeze SHEEL Advance
Coolant or Glycoshell (35-40% of the volume) up to
MAX
mark.
Refit the filler (1) and reassemble all removed parts. This
mixture improves operating conditions (coolant will start
freezing at –20°C).
Coolant circuit capacity: 3.5 cu dm (liters).
