The coolant liquid may be emptied by removing the screw (5) from the
water pump cover on the right side of the engine. Prepare an adequate
container to collect the liquid when it comes out. To empty the liquid,
the filling cap must be opened. At the end, screw the emptying screw
and tighten to 12 Nm.
To fill the cooling system, pour the amount of coolant liquid indicated
in the “Engine Technical Data” Table, through the inlet. Close the radia-
tor cap and start-up the engine for a few seconds. Re-open the cap
and check the level: add more liquid if necessary.
After a brief journey, check the level of coolant liquid again.

The aluminium silencers are filled with acoustic insulating material
(fibreglass) to limit motorcycle noise. Because of high temperatures
reached by the exhaust gases, the fibreglass tends to burn, leading to
a decrease in the effect of noise absorbtion and also causing a de-
crease in power.
To replace the fibreglass, disassemble the silencer from the motorcy-
cle frame, remove the rivets (1) that support the front cap (2) and slide
the cap and the wool to be replaced out.
In END/SMM/SMR models, the fibreglass cartridge (3) must be cut to a
length of about 35 cm (weight 350 grammes) while in the other mod-
els it is inserted whole.
Slide the fiberglass cartridge on the punched pipe (4) and push it all
into the silencer. Hold the clamp and fasten with rivets.
Never disassemble the rear cap (5), it is not necessary and you
run the risk of damaging the silencer.
WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING THE EXHAUST SYSTEM BECOMES VERY
HOT. ONLY START TO WORK ON THE EXHAUST SYSTEM WHEN IT HAS
COOLED DOWN, TO PREVENT BURNS.
To ease mounting of the silencer, grease the ends of the pipes.
Also fix the retaining spring between the pipe and the silencer.
When the engine is started-up it might generate some smoke from the
previously greased parts. This is caused by the high temperature that
melts the grease.
WARNING
REPLACE THE FIBREGLASS CARTRIDGE WITH A NEW ONE OF THE SAME WEIGHT
OR BOUGHT AT A TM AUTHORISED DEALER.
