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, pressurized
coolant will cause scalds and skin
damage.

Expansion tank cap
To adjust the coolant level:
• Allow the engine to cool.
• The expansion tank cap can be
removed from the right hand side
of the motorcycle, between the
front of the fuel tank and the
frame.
• Remove the cap from the expansion
tank and add coolant mixture
through the filler opening until the
level reaches the MAX mark.
• Reinstall the cap.
Note:
• If the coolant level is being checked
because the coolant has overheated,
also check the level in the radiator
and top off 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.
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.
Coolant Change
It is recommended that the coolant is
changed by an authorised Triumph
dealer in accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements.

Warning
The fan operates automatically when
the engine is running. Always keep
hands and clothing away from the fan
