Coolant System - Check For Fluid Leaks
Make sure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported.
A correctly supported motorcycle will help prevent it from falling.
An unstable motorcycle may fall, causing injury to the operator or damage to the
motorcycle.
Do not remove the expansion tank or coolant pressure cap when the engine is hot.
When the engine is hot, the coolant inside the cooling system will be hot and may also
be under pressure. Contact with hot coolant will cause scalds and skin damage.
If the coolant level is found to be low, or if coolant has to be added regularly, inspect
the cooling system for coolant leaks. If necessary, pressure test the system to locate
the source of the leak and rectify as necessary. Loss of coolant may cause the engine
to overheat and suffer severe damage.
All cooling system components must be free from fluid leaks.
Check the visible areas of the radiator heat exchanger/oil cooler (if fitted) for fluid leaks.
Visually inspect the coolant hoses for fluid leaks.
A leaking or damaged cooling system component must be replaced.
