MAINTENANCE

General Maintenance

Exhaust System

Check the exhaust system for wear or damage at approximately 2000

miles (3200 km). To inspect, allow the engine and exhaust system to

cool completely. Open the hood and inspect the muffler and pipes for

cracks or damage. Check for weak or missing retaining springs or

damper/support grommets.

WARNING

Hot exhaust system parts can cause serious burns. Allow

adequate time for the exhaust system to cool. Never perform this

procedure with the engine running.

Engine Cooling - Liquid Cooled Models

The cooling system on liquid cooled models consists of the following

major components:

Coolant bottle

Water pump

Cylinders

Heads

Inlet and outlet manifolds

Pressure cap

Heat exchangers
