Coolant mixture, which is blended with antifreeze and corrosion inhibitors contains
toxic chemicals which are harmful to the human body. Never swallow antifreeze,
corrosion inhibitors or any of the motorcycle coolant.
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. When the engine is hot, the
coolant inside the radiator is hot and also under pressure. Contact with the pressurised
coolant will cause scalds and skin damage.
The coolant antifreeze contains a corrosion inhibitor which helps prevent damage to
the metal surfaces inside the cooling system. Without this inhibitor, the coolant would
'attack' the metals and the resulting corrosion would cause blockages in the cooling
system leading to engine overheating and damage. Always use the correct antifreeze
as specified in the Owner's Handbook. Never use a methanol based antifreeze as this
does not contain the required corrosion inhibition properties.
Distilled water must be used with the antifreeze (see specification for antifreeze) in the
cooling system.
If hard water is used in the system, it causes scale accumulation in the water passages,
and considerably reduces the efficiency of the cooling system. Reduced cooling
system efficiency may lead to the engine overheating and engine damage.
