CHECK COOLANT LEVEL
When the engine is cold, the liquid must cover the radiator channels by
at least 10 mm. If the circuit is emptied, fill it immediately and bleed.
WARNING
WHEN THE COOLANT LIQUID HAS BEEN EMPTIED, WHEN RE-FILLING IT IS
NECESSARY TO BLEED THE COOLING SYSTEM (SEE BELOW).
EMPTYING, FILLING AND BLEEDING OF THE
COOLING SYSTEM
The coolant liquid may be emptied by removing the screw (1) from the
crankase on the right side of the engine. Prepare an adequate container
to collect the liquid when it comes out. To empty the liquid, the filling cap
must be opened. At the end, screw the emptying screw and tighten to
12 Nm.
To fill the cooling system, pour the amount of coolant liquid indicated in
the “Engine Technical Data” Table, through the inlet. Close the radiator
cap and start-up the engine for a few seconds. Re-open the cap and
check the level: add more liquid if necessary.
After a brief journey, check the level of coolant liquid again.
REPLACEMENT OF EXHAUST SILENCER
PACKING MATERIAL
The aluminium silencers are filled with acoustic insulating material (fibre -
glass) to limit motorcycle noise. Because of high temperatures reached
by the exhaust gases, the fibreglass tends to burn, leading to a decrease
in the effect of noise absorbtion and also causing a decrease in power.
To replace the fibreglass, disassemble the silencer from the motorcycle
frame, remove the rivets that support the front cap and slide the cap and
the wool to be replaced out.
Before dismantling you are advised to mark with a pen the points between
the slotted tube and silencer so that you’ll be able to put them together
again properly later on. Slide the fiberglass cartridge on the punched pipe
and push it all into the silencer. Hold the clamp and fasten with rivets.
WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING THE EXHAUST SYSTEM BECOMES VERY
HOT. ONLY START TO WORK ON THE EXHAUST SYSTEM WHEN IT HAS
COOLED DOWN, TO PREVENT BURNS.
To ease mounting of the silencer, grease the ends of the pipes.
Also fix the retaining spring between the pipe and the silencer.
When the engine is started-up it might generate some smoke from the
previously greased parts. This is caused by the high temperature that
melts the grease.
