ENGINE COOLANT

 • Using coolant with silicate inhibitors may cause premature wear

of water pump seals or blockage of radiator passages.

 • Using tap water may cause engine damage.

 • Do not spill coolant on painted or plastic surfaces as it may dam-

age the finish.

 • The effectiveness of coolant decreases with the accumulation of

rust or if there is a change in the mixing proportion during usage.
For best performance change the coolant regularly as specified
in the maintenance schedule.

 • Mix only distilled, low mineral water with coolant.

Hold the motorcycle in an upright position.

Check the reserve tank coolant level.

If the level is low, remove the coolant reserve tank cap, add coolant
to restore the level to the UPPER level mark.

When replacing the coolant, refer to the Service Manual.
