Thie cooling system is fitted with an electric fan (which starts automatically
above a given temperature) in order to guarantee the most efficient
performance in all riding conditions. The fluid used as coolant is constituted
by a liquid solution of ethylene glycol-based antifreeze and corrosion inhibitors.
In order for the correct operating temperature of the engine to be maintained,
the indicated coolant temperature must remain in the bottom half of the
