If coolant containing a corrosion
inhibitor is not used, the cooling system
will accumulate rust and scale in the
water jacket and radiator. This will block
the coolant passages, and considerably
reduce the efficiency of the cooling
system.
Coolants of different types must not
be mixed. Mixing coolants of different
types will reduce the performance of
the coolant and reduce its life. When
replacing coolant, it is recommended
to thoroughly flush the cooling system
with clean water.
Coolant Level Inspection
The expansion tank can be viewed from
the left hand side of the motorcycle. The
coolant level within the expansion tank
can be inspected without removing any
covers.
Note
If the coolant level is being checked
because the coolant has overheated,
also check the level in the radiator and
top up if necessary.
In an emergency, distilled water can be
added to the cooling system. However,
the coolant must then be drained and
replenished with HD4X Hybrid OAT
coolant as soon as possible.

To inspect the coolant level:
• Position the motorcycle on level
ground and in an upright position.
• Make sure that the engine is cold (at
room or ambient temperature).
• Check the coolant level in the
expansion tank. The coolant level
must be between the MAX and MIN
marks.
• If the coolant is below the minimum
level, the coolant level must be
adjusted.
