If the High Oil/Coolant Temperature
Indicator Lights
Taking Care of the Unexpected
If there’s a mild coolant leak, you can ride for awhile, carefully
watching the indicator. Be prepared to stop and add more coolant or
water. If the leak is bad, transport your ATV to a Honda dealer
(page
).
If there is an oil leak
do not ride the ATV until the leak is repaired by
Honda dealer (page
).
Start the engine, and check that the high oil/coolant temperature
indicator goes off.
Check the oil level. If necessary, add the recommended oil (page
)
to the upper level mark. If you must leave your ATV to get oil, secure
it as much as possible.
Check for an oil leak.
Check for any restriction of air flow through the oil cooler.
If the reserve tank is low or empty, don’t ride without adding coolant
(page
). After adding coolant, turn the engine on and check the
high oil/coolant temperature indicator.
If the indicator doesn’t turn off, do not ride. The engine needs repair.
Transport your ATV to a Honda dealer (page
).
If the temperature drops to normal, check the coolant level. If it has
gone down, add more coolant.
If you are able to resume riding, continue to monitor the high oil/coolant
temperature indicator frequently.
