18. Check the coolant level.
Check the coolant level at the coolant reserve
tank. If the level is low, remove the coolant
reserve tank cap and add Pro Honda HP
coolant or a 1:1 mixture of a high-quality
ethylene glycol anti-freeze containing
corrosion inhibitors and distilled water to
restore the level to the UPPER mark. Do not
spill coolant on painted or plastic surfaces as
it can damage the finish.
19. Verify the throttle freeplay.
Operate the throttle to confirm that it moves
smoothly and returns automatically from any
open position to the fully closed position in all
steering positions.
Confirm the throttle grip freeplay:
Throttle freeplay:
2 – 6 mm (1/16 – 1/4 in)
Make adjustments at the throttle grip
adjuster by loosening the lock nut and
turning the adjuster. Tighten the lock nut
after adjustment.
20. Check the oil level.
Before starting the engine, remove the anti-
rust coating from the engine and exhaust
system using a mild detergent and water.
Rinse with clean water.
Support the motorcycle in an upright position
on a firm, level surface.
Check that the oil level is between the
upper and lower level marks in the
inspection window.
