SETTINGS AND ADJUSTMENTS
Coolant level check
Check level (1) in right-hand radiator when engine is cold (place the motorcycle
so that it is perpendicular to the ground). The coolant should be approximately
10 mm above the cells.
The radiator cap features two locking positions: the first one is for prior discharge
of pressure from the cooling system.
Avoid removing radiator cap when engine is hot, as coolant may spout
out and cause scalding.
Difficulties may arise in eliminating coolant from painted surfaces. If this
occurs, wash off with water.
Coolant replacement
Place a vessel on the L.H. side of the cylinder, under the screw (1).
Undo screw (A), and slightly lift tank (B).
SLOWLY open the R.H. radiator cap (2); slope the motorcycle on the left side
to drain the coolant easily in the vessel.
Pour the necessary quantity of coolant in the radiator then warm up the engine
in order to eliminate any possible air bubbles.
