Maintenance and Adjustment
Distilled water must be used to dilute coolant
to the correct mixture ratio.
In an emergency, tap water can be added to
the cooling system. However, the coolant
must then be changed and returned to the
correct mixture ratio using distilled water and
new coolant as soon as possible.
Coolant Level Inspection
1. Expansion tank
2. MAX mark
3. MIN mark
4. Fluid level
Position the motorcycle on level ground and
in an upright position.
The coolant level within the expansion tank
can be inspected without removing any
covers. It is located behind the front edge of
the intake cover on the left hand side of the
fuel tank.
Check the coolant level in the expansion
tank. The coolant level must be between the
MAX (upper line) and MIN (lower line)
marks. If the coolant is below the minimum
level, the coolant level must be adjusted.
Warning
Use coolant mixture containing corrosion
inhibitors and anti-freeze suitable for
aluminium engines and radiators. Always
use the anti-freeze in accordance with the
instructions of the manufacturer.
Coolant mixture that contains anti-freeze
and corrosion inhibitors contains toxic
chemicals that are harmful to the human
body. Never swallow anti-freeze or any of
the motorcycle coolant.
Caution
Distilled water must be used to dilute
coolant to the correct mixture ratio. If hard
water is used in the cooling system, it will
cause scale accumulation in the engine
and radiator and considerably reduces the
efficiency of the cooling system. Reduced
cooling system efficiency may cause the
engine to overheat and suffer severe
damage.
