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.
EAU40157
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. Check the coolant level in the
coolant reservoir.
TIP
The coolant should be between the mi-
nimum and maximum level marks.
3. If the coolant is at or below the mi-
nimum 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.
