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.
NOTE:

●
The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level
varies with engine temperature.

positioned 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.
