Maintenance and Adjustment
Coolant Level Adjustment
Coolant Expansion Tank Cap
Allow the engine to cool.
Remove the cap from the expansion tank,
located below the left hand cockpit infill
panel, and add coolant mixture through the
filler opening until the level reaches the MAX
mark. Install the cap.
Note:
• It is not necessary to remove the
left hand cockpit infill panel in
order to remove the coolant
expansion tank cap.
• If the coolant level is being
checked because the coolant has
overheated, also check the level in
the radiator and top-off if
necessary.
• In an emergency, water alone can
be added to the cooling system.
However, the coolant must then
be returned to the correct mixture
ratio using distilled water and new
coolant as soon as possible.
Coolant Change
Have the coolant changed by an authorized
Triumph dealer in accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements.
Warning
Do not remove the expansion tank or
radiator pressure cap when the engine is
hot. When the engine is hot, the coolant
inside the radiator will be hot and also
under pressure. Contact with this hot,
pressurized coolant will cause scalds and
skin damage.
