15 COOLING SYSTEM

15.1

Cooling system

B01931-10

Water pump

in the engine circulates the coolant.

The pressure resulting from the warming of the cooling system is regulated by a valve in
radiator cap

. This ensures that operating the vehicle at the specified coolant temper-

ature will not result in a risk of malfunctions.

120 °C (248 °F)

Cooling is effected by the air stream.

The lower the speed, the less the cooling effect. Dirty cooling fins also reduce the cooling

effect.

15.2

Checking the antifreeze and coolant level

Warning

Danger of scalding

During motorcycle operation, the coolant gets very hot and is under pressure.

–

Do not remove the radiator cap, radiator hoses or other cooling system components when the engine is hot. Allow the engine

and cooling system to cool down. In case of scalding, rinse immediately with lukewarm water.

Warning

Danger of poisoning

Coolant is poisonous and a health hazard.

–

Coolant must not come into contact with the skin, eyes, or clothing. If contact occurs with the eyes, rinse with water imme-

diately and contact a physician. Immediately clean contaminated areas on the skin with soap and water. If coolant is swal-

lowed, contact a physician immediately. Change clothing that is contaminated with coolant. Keep coolant out of reach of chil-

dren.

Condition

The engine is cold.

400243-10

–

Stand the motorcycle upright on a horizontal surface.

–

Remove the radiator cap.

–

Check antifreeze of coolant.

−

25…

−

45 °C (

−

13…

−

49 °F)

» If the antifreeze of the coolant does not meet specifications:

–

Correct the antifreeze of the coolant.

–

Check the coolant level in the radiator.

Coolant level

above radiator fins.

10 mm (0.39 in)

» If the coolant level does not meet specifications:

–

Correct the coolant level.

Alternative 1

Coolant (
