To inspect the coolant level:
•
Allow the engine to cool. The coolant
level should be checked when the
engine is cold (at room or ambient
temperature).
•
Position the motorcycle on level
ground and in an upright position.
•
Check the coolant level in the
coolant expansion tank. The coolant
level must be between the MAX
(upper line) and MIN (lower line)
marks.
•
If the coolant is below the MIN
(minimum) level, the coolant
level must be adjusted. For more
information, see page 130.
Note
If the coolant level is being checked
because the coolant has overheated,
also check the level in the radiator and
top off if necessary.
In an emergency, distilled water can be
added to the cooling system. However,
the coolant must then be drained and
replenished with HD4X Hybrid OAT
coolant as soon as possible.
