MAINTENANCE

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.
Coolant Level Inspection
Note
The coolant level should be checked
when the engine is cold (at room or
ambient temperature).

To inspect the coolant level:
▼ Position the motorcycle on level
ground and in an upright position.
The expansion tank can be viewed
from the left hand side of the
motorcycle, below and towards the
front of the fuel tank.
▼
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.
Coolant Level Adjustment
Warning
Do not remove the expansion tank or
radiator pressure cap when the
engine is hot.
When the engine is hot, the coolant
inside the radiator will be hot and also
under pressure.
Contact with this hot, pressurised
coolant will cause scalds and skin
damage.
Caution
If hard water is used in the cooling
system,
it will cause scale
accumulation in the engine and
radiator and considerably reduce the
efficiency of the cooling system.
Reduced cooling system efficiency
may cause the engine to overheat and
suffer severe damage.
