Checking the cooling liquid level in the radiator *
For better access to the radiator cap [1] , remove the screws [2] and take off the tank trim.
Hold the radiator cap with a cloth, carefully turn in a counterclockwise direction and remove.
The radiator should be completely filled with cooling liquid; no air should be in the
radiator.
If any cooling liquid is missing, the cooling system is probably leaking. Have the cooling
system checked at an authorized KTM workshop.
IF POSSIBLE, CHECK THE COOLING LIQUID LEVEL WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD. IF YOU NEED TO
REMOVE THE RADIATOR CAP WHEN THE ENGINE IS HOT, HOLD THE CAP WITH A CLOTH AND
OPEN SLOWLY, ALLOWING ANY EXCESS PRESSURE TO ESCAPE (DANGER OF SCALDING).
– IF MORE THAN 1 LITER OF COOLING LIQUID NEEDS TO BE ADDED, YOU WILL NEED TO BLEED
THE COOLING SYSTEM.
– ONLY CONTINUE TO DRIVE IF THERE IS ENOUGH COOLING LIQUID IN THE SYSTEM. CONTACT
AN AUTHORIZED KTM WORKSHOP TO HAVE THE ERROR ELIMINATED. YOU WILL DAMAGE THE
ENGINE IF YOU CONTINUE TO DRIVE WHEN THE COOLING LIQUID TEMPERATURE WARNING
LAMP IS ON.
Bleeding the cooling system *
For better access to the radiator cap and bleeder screw, lift the tank about 10 cm in the
front.
Take off the tank trim on the left [3] and right [4] .
