The owner must properly maintain the
coolant to prevent freezing, overheating,
and corrosion. Use only high quality
ethylene glycol antif reeze containing
corrosion protection inhibitors specifically
recommended for use in aluminum engines.
(SEE ANTIFREEZE CONTAINER LABEL).
Use only low-mineral drinking water or
distilled water as a part of the antifreeze
solution. Water that is high in mineral
content or salt may be harmful to the
aluminum engine.
The factory provides a 50/50 solution of
antifreeze and distilled water in this
motorcycle. T his coolant solution is
r e c o m m e n d e d f o r m o s t o p e r a t i n g
temperatures and provides good corrosion
protection. A higher concentration of
antifreeze decreases the cooling system
performance and is recommended only
when additional protection against freezing
is needed. A concentration of less than 40/
60 (40% antifreeze) will not provide proper
corrosion protection. During f reezing
temperatures, check the cooling system
frequently and add higher concentrations of
antifreeze (up to a maximum of 60%
antifreeze) if required.
Using coolant with silicate inhibitors may
cause premature wear of water pump seals
or blockage of radiator passages.
Using tap water may cause engine damage.
