Maintenance and Adjustment
Corrosion Inhibitors
To protect the cooling system from corrosion,
the use of corrosion inhibitor chemicals in the
coolant is essential.
If coolant containing a corrosion inhibitor is
not used, the cooling system will accumulate
rust and scale in the water jacket and radiator.
This will block the coolant passages, and
considerably reduce the efficiency of the
cooling system.
Note:
• HD4X Hybrid OAT coolant, as
supplied by Triumph, is pre-mixed
and does not need to be diluted
prior to filling or topping up the
cooling system.
Coolant Level Inspection
The expansion tank is located on the left
hand side of the motorcycle next to the side
stand.
Note:
• The coolant level should be checked
when the engine is cold (at room or
ambient temperature).
1. Expansion tank
2. Tank cap
3. MAX mark
4. MIN mark
Position the motorcycle on level ground and
in an upright position.
Check the coolant level in the expansion
tank. The coolant level must be between the
MAX and MIN marks. If the coolant is below
the minimum level, the coolant level must be
adjusted.
Warning
HD4X Hybrid OAT coolant contains
corrosion inhibitors and anti-freeze suitable
for aluminium engines and radiators.
Always use the coolant in accordance with
the instructions of the manufacturer.
Coolant that contains anti-freeze and
corrosion inhibitors contains toxic
chemicals that are harmful to the human
body. Never swallow anti-freeze or any of
the motorcycle coolant.
