Maintenance Fundamentals
A concentration of antifreeze below 40 % will
not provide proper corrosion and cold
temperature protection. A concentration of up
to 60 % will provide better protection in
colder climates.
NOTICE
Using coolant not specified for aluminium engines or
using ordinary tap water can cause corrosion.
Crankcase Breather
Service more frequently when riding in rain, at
full throttle, or after the motorcycle is washed
or overturned. Service if the deposit level can
be seen in the transparent section of the drain
tube.
Tyres (Inspecting/Replacing)
❙
Checking the Air Pressure
Visually inspect your tyres and use an air
pressure gauge to measure the air pressure at
least once a month or any time you think the
tyres look low. Always check air pressure when
your tyres are cold.
❙
Inspecting for Damage
Inspect the tyres for
cuts, slits, or cracks
that exposes fabric or
cords, or nails or
other foreign objects
embedded in the side
of the tyre or the
tread. Also inspect for
the bumps or bulges in the side walls of the
tyres.
❙
Inspecting for Abnormal Wear
Inspect the tyres for
signs of abnormal
wear on the contact
surface.
