CAUTION
If the coolant level is found to be low, or if coolant has to be added regularly, inspect the cooling system for
coolant leaks. If necessary, pressure test the system to locate the source of the leak and rectify as
necessary. Loss of coolant may cause the engine to overheat and suffer severe damage.
Coolant Level Adjustment
WARNING
Before starting work, ensure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported. This will help prevent it
from falling and causing injury to the operator or damage to the motorcycle.
WARNING
Do not remove the coolant pressure cap when the engine is hot. When the engine is hot, the coolant inside
the radiator is hot and also under pressure. Contact with hot coolant will cause scalds and skin damage.
Allow the engine to cool. 1.
The coolant within the expansion tank can be topped up on the left hand side of the motorcycle without
removing any covers. 2.
