COOLANT REPLACEMENT
WARNING*: The coolant replacement operation
must be performed with the engine cold.
Standard procedure
- Place a vessel on the R.H. side of the cylinder,
under the coolant drain screw (1). FIRST remove
the screw (1) then SLOWLY open the R.H. radiator
cap (2); slope the motorcycle on the right side to
drain the coolant easily in the vessel. Re-mount
the screw (1), tightening it to a coupling torque of
8 Nm.
Fast procedure
- Place a vessel on the R.H. side of the cylinder, un-
der the tube (3).
- Loosen clamp (4) and disconnect tube (3) from
the engine.
- SLOWLY open the R.H. radiator cap (2); slope the
motorcycle on the right side to drain the coolant
easily in the vessel.
-
Reassemble the tube (3) and tighten the clamp (4).
Filling procedure
- Pour the necessary quantity of coolant in the ra-
diator then warm up the engine in order to elimi-
nate any possible air bubbles.
- Allow the coolant to cool down then remove cap
(2) and check the level as explained under “Cool-
ant level check”.
- Periodically check the connecting hoses (see
“Scheduled Maintenance Chart”): this will avoid
coolant leakage and consequent engine seizure:
If hoses (A) show cracks, swelling or hardening
due to sheaths desiccation, their replacement
shall be advisable.
- Check the correct tightening of the clamps (B).
