COOLANT REPLACEMENT
WARNING*: Coolant shall be replaced with cold
engine and coolant.
Standard procedure
- Place a vessel on the R.H. side of the cylinder,
under the coolant drain screw (1). FIRST remove
the screw (1) then SLOWLY open the R.H. radiator
cap (2); slope the motorcycle on the right side to
drain the coolant easily in the vessel. Reassemble
the screw (1).
- Pour the necessary quantity of coolant in the ra-
diator then warm up the engine in order to elimi-
nate any possible air bubbles.
- Allow the coolant to cool down then remove cap
(2) and check the level as explained under “Cool-
ant level check”.
- Periodically check the connecting hoses (see
“Scheduled Maintenance Chart”): this will avoid
coolant leakage and consequent engine seizure:
If hoses (A) show cracks, swelling or hardening
due to sheaths desiccation, their replacement
shall be advisable.
- Check the correct tightening of the clamps (B).
