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.
To check the coolant level
1. Place the motorcycle on a level
surface and hold it in an upright
position.
2. Remove cowling A. (See page 6-8
for cowling removal and installa-
tion procedures.)
NOTE:
_
● The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level
varies with engine temperature.
●
Make sure that the motorcycle is
positioned straight up when
checking the coolant level. A slight
tilt to the side can result in a false
reading.
_
3. Check the coolant level in the
coolant reservoir.
NOTE:
_
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 and add
coolant to the maximum level
mark.
5. Install the coolant reservoir cap
and the cowling.
