      If your Honda Motorcycle engine is overheating, immediately stop the engine using the ignition switch and check that the radiator fan is operating, then turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. Check the coolant level in the reserve tank, and add coolant as necessary. If there is a leak, or if steps 1-4 check normal, do not start the engine and transport your motorcycle to your dealer. If 1-4 check normal, you may continue riding, but closely monitor the high coolant temperature indicator.
