If Your Engine Overheats
Taking Care of the Unexpected
Check the radiator fan.
If the fan is not working, turn the
engine off. Open the fuse box (page
) and check the radiator fan fuse.
If the fuse is blown, replace it with the
proper (same rating) spare fuse. Start
the engine. If the coolant temperature
indicator goes on, the coolant
temperature display begins to flash, and
a red bar appears and stays on the
display, turn the engine off.
If the radiator fan is working, visually
check the coolant level in the reserve
tank, located behind the left lower
fairing (page
). It isn’t necessary to
touch the radiator system.
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 temperature meter.
If the temperature doesn’t drop, do not
ride. The engine needs repair. Transport
your motorcycle 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 meter frequently.
If there’s a mild leak, you can ride for
awhile, carefully watching the meter. Be
prepared to stop and add more coolant or
water. If the leak is bad, transport your
motorcycle to a Honda dealer (page
).
