Coolant Level Inspection
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.
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.
Only inspect the coolant level when the engine is cold.
The coolant level within the expansion tank can be inspected without removing any
covers. The expansion tank can be viewed from the right hand side of the motorcycle,
in the radiator lower cowl.
