Maintenance
130
To inspect the coolant level:
• Position the motorcycle on level
ground and in an upright position
(not on the stand).
• Check the coolant level in the
expansion tank.
• The coolant level must be between
the MAX and MIN marks. If the
coolant is below the minimum level,
the coolant level must be adjusted.
Coolant Level Adjustment
Warning
Do not remove the expansion tank or
radiator pressure cap when the engine
is hot.
When the engine is hot, the coolant
inside the radiator will be hot and also
under pressure.
Contact with this hot, pressurised
coolant will cause scalds and skin
damage.
Caution
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.

1. Expansion tank cap
To adjust the coolant level:
• Allow the engine to cool.
• The expansion tank cap can be
removed from the right hand side of
the motorcycle, between the front
of the fuel tank and the frame.
• Remove the cap from the expansion
tank and add coolant mixture
through the filler opening until the
level reaches the MAX mark.
• Refit the cap.
