Level check
The engine is cooled by forced liquid circulation.
The cooling circuit holds 1.8 litres of a coolant
made up of 50% demineralised water and a solu-
tion of glycol-ethylene anti-freeze and corrosion
inhibitors.
The packaged coolant supplied is ready-mixed
and ready for use.
To ensure correct engine performance, the cool-
ant temperature should be between 60°C min. and
105°C max. as indicated on the relevant instru-
ment «D» with the coloured references on the
analogue instrument panel. If the needle goes into
the red , switch the engine off, allow it to cool then
check the coolant level. If the fluid is within the
normal limits, perform the cooling system checks.
The coolant level should be checked every 6,000
km with the engine cold, following the instruction
given below.
a) Put the vehicle in an upright position on the
kickstand.
b) Remove the expansion tank cap «A» by turning
it anti-clockwise.
c) Look inside the expansion tank: the minimum
and maximum levels are marked on the plastic in-
side the expansion tank.
d) Top up if the level of coolant is beneath the min.
level mark inside the expansion tank.
The coolant level must always be between the min.
and max. levels. If the coolant level is close to the
min. marking, top up as required when the engine
is cold. If frequent topping up is required or if the
expansion tank is completely dry, the cooling sys-
tem needs to be investigated.
The coolant must be replaced every 2 years.
