Coolant
Coolant absorbs excessive heat from the engine and transfers it to the air by the radiator� If the coolant
level is low, the engine will overheat and may suer severe damage. Check the coolant level daily before
riding the motorcycle and perform maintenance in accordance with the periodic maintenance chart�
Replenish coolant if the level is low�
To protect the cooling system (engine and radiator contain aluminum parts) from rust and corrosion,
the use of corrosion and rust inhibitor chemicals in the coolant is essential� Purchase only commercially
available coolant containing corrosion and rust inhibitors that are safe for aluminum, so there is no need to
add separately�
