every two years
Before proceeding the emptying of the system,
remove:
The ignition switch cover (see “Engine coolant
level check”);
The under-engine fairing;
The left fairing panel (see chapter C
“Bodywork”);
Place a container under the engine to collect the
used coolant;
open the radiator filler cap;
Remove the coolant discharge screw 1 situated
on the coolant pump 2 , thereby letting the coo-
lant flow out.
Wait for the engine coolant to completely flow out.
Tighten the engine coolant discharge plug 1 to the
specified torque, after having checked the condition of
the gasket.
Torque pressure, engine coolant discharge
plug: 8 ÷10 N·m
Lift the front part of the motorcycle as shown in the
figure.
Fill the cooling system with a suitable liquid described
in the table (see page B-8) until you reach the level of
the bar of the radiator filler cap. Do this in stages to sta-
bilise the liquid level.
Close the cap and move the motorcycle to a horizontal
position.
Switch on the engine and keep it running until the
water becomes hot enough to automatically switch on
the electric cooling fan. Switch off the engine. Repeat
the operation at least once, then wait some minutes for
the engine to cool down.
Carefully check for leaks, blow-bys, dam-
aged tubing, etc. If there are leaks or damage
in the cooling system, proceed with the over-
haul as described in the chapter “Cooling
system”.
