Coolant
The coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the cool-
ant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAU54163
To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on the center-
stand.
TIP
The coolant level must be
checked on a cold engine since
the level varies with engine tem-
perature.
Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking
the coolant level. A slight tilt to the
side can result in a false reading.
2. Remove the left cowling vent pan-
el. (See page 4-36.)
3. Check the coolant level in the
coolant reservoir.
TIP
The coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
4. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, remove the
coolant reservoir cap.
WARNING!
Remove only the coolant reser-
voir cap. Never attempt to re-
move the ra
d
iator cap when the
en
g
ine is hot.
