PRE‐RIDE INSPECTIONS
COOLANT
Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir when the engine is cold (the level may change with
the engine temperature. The coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the minimum and maximum
level marks on the coolant reservoir. If the coolant is at or below the minimum level add coolant until
the coolant is at the maximum level. If coolant is not available used distilled water. Change the
coolant every two years. Refer to the maintenance schedule (page 106).
NOTICE
Hard water or salt water is harmful to the engine; use only an automotive grade coolant.
Coolant reservoir capacity (with the level at the maximum mark) 0.30 L (0.32 qt)
