Note:
• HD4X Hybrid OAT coolant, as
supplied by Triumph, is premixed
and does not need to be diluted
prior to filling or topping off the
cooling system.
To protect the cooling system from
corrosion, the use of corrosion inhibitor
chemicals in the coolant is essential.
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
(not on the stand). The expansion
tank can be viewed from the right
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.
