Cooling system (fig. 49)
Liquid cooling with pressurized circuit and mixing
thermostat. A centrifugal pump circulates coolant
through the circuit and an expansion reservoir takes up
excess coolant when it expands from heat.
Cooling system is made up of:
1) Coolant pump casing
2) Thermostat (starts opening at 75°C ± 2°C/ 167°F ±
36°F )
3) Temperature sensor
4) Thermistor
5) Radiator
6) Solenoid valve
7) Thermal switch (turns on solenoid valve at 92°C/
179°F and turns it off at 87°C/ 189°F)
8) Expansion reservoir
9) Filler plug
10) Secondary expansion reservoir
Important
Never run the engine at high speed with the
motorcycle standing, or engine may dangerously
overheat from lack of air cooling.
