MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT

NOTICE
If hard water is used in the
cooling system, it will cause scale
accumulation in the engine and
radiator and considerably reduce the
efficiency of the cooling system.
Reduced cooling system efficiency
may cause the engine to overheat and
suffer severe damage.
▼ Allow the engine to cool.
▼ The expansion tank can be viewed
from the left hand side of the
motorcycle, towards the front and
below the engine.
▼ Remove the cap from the expansion
tank and add coolant mixture
through the filler opening until the
level reaches the MAX mark.
▼ Reinstall the cap.

NOTICE
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 the correct OAT
coolant as soon as possible.

CAUTION
The fan operates automatically when
the engine is running.
Always keep hands and clothing away
from the fan.
Contact with the rotating fan could
result in minor to moderate injury.
NOTICE
Using high pressure water sprays,
such as from a car wash facility or
household pressure washer, can
damage the radiator fins, cause leaks
and impair the radiator's efficiency.
Do not obstruct or deflect airflow
through the radiator by installing
unauthorized accessories, either in
front of the radiator or behind the
cooling fan.
Interference with the radiator airflow
can cause overheating, potentially
resulting in engine damage.
We recommend that the coolant is
changed in accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements.
