CAUTION
Use of incorrect coolant solutions will cause severe engine and
cooling system damage.
Use coolant containing corrosion inhibitors made specifically for
aluminium engines and radiators in accordance with the instructions
of the manufacturer.
WARNING
Coolant chemicals are harmful to the human body. Follow coolant
manufacturer warnings and coolant handing instructions.
CAUTION
Soft or distilled water must be used with the inhibitor chemicals and
the antifreeze in the cooling system.
If normal water is used in the system, it the cooling system tubes
may become blocked.
If the lowest ambient temperature encountered falls below the freezing
point of water, protect the cooling system against freezing.
Use a permanent type of anti-freeze (soft water and ethylene glycol
plus corrosion and rust inhibitor chemicals for aluminium engines
and radiators) in the cooling system.
For the coolant mixture ratio under extreme conditions, choose the
mixture ratio listed on the container for the lowest ambient temperature.
Coolant Level
- Situate the motorcycle so that it is perpendicular to the ground.
- Remove the radiator cap in two stages. First turn the cap anti-clock
wise and wait for a few seconds. Then push and turn it further in the
same direction to remove the cap.
(A). Radiator Cap.
CAUTION
Permanent types of antifreeze on the market have anticorrosion and
anti-rust properties. When diluted excessively these lose their
antifreeze and anticorrosion properties. These must be diluted in
accordance with the instructions of manufacturer.
