Level check
The fluid level inspection should be carried out ev-
ery 6,000 km when the motor is cold, following the
methods indicated below:
•
Rest the scooter on the central stand
and on a flat ground.
•
Loosen the screw shown in the figure
and remove the expansion tank cover
located on the right side of the scooter.
•
Remove the expansion tank cap and
top up, if the fluid level is near to or be-
low the MIN level into the expansion
tank. The fluid level should always be
between the "MIN" and "MAX." level.
•
To check the level, look into the expan-
sion tank: the two marks into the ex-
pansion tank indicate the two levels,
"MIN" and "MAX.".
•
The coolant consists of a mixture of
50% demineralised water and ethylene
glycol and corrosion inhibitors based
anti-freeze solution.
CAUTION
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAX LEVEL WHEN FILLING SO
THAT COOLANT DOES NOT SPILL OVER THE EXPAN-
SION TANK WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING USED.
N.B.
THE COOLANT CONSISTS OF A MIXTURE OF DE-IONISED
WATER AND FLUID FOR SEALED CIRCUITS. THE RE-
SULTING MIXTURE ALLOWS A DECREASE OF THE
FREEZING POINT TO -35°C. THE MIXTURE AT A PRES-
SURE OF 0.9 BAR INCREASES THE BOILING POINT TO
APPROX. 125°C. THE RECOMMENDED FLUID IS ALSO
PROTECTIVE FOR ALUMINIUM ALLOYS, AND OVER TIME
THIS FEATURE MAY DECREASE. PERIODICAL REPLACE-
MENT IS THEREFORE ADVISABLE.
