Triumph Trident 2023 - 10.3.1 Coolant Level Inspection

MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
138
To protect the cooling system from
corrosion, the use of corrosion inhibitor
chemicals in the coolant is essential.
If coolant containing a corrosion
inhibitor is not used, the cooling system
will accumulate rust and scale in the
water jacket and radiator. This will block
the coolant passages, and considerably
reduce the efficiency of the cooling
system.
Coolants of different types must not be
mixed. Mixing coolants of different
types will reduce the performance of
the coolant and reduce its life. When
replacing coolant, it is recommended to
thoroughly flush the cooling system
with clean water.
Coolant Level Inspection
NOTICE
The coolant level should be checked
when the engine is cold (at room or
ambient temperature).
To inspect the coolant level:
▼ Position the motorcycle on level
ground and in an upright position.
The expansion tank can be viewed
from the left hand side of the
motorcycle, below and towards the
front of the fuel tank.
▼ Check the coolant level in the
expansion tank. The coolant level
must be between the MAX and MIN
marks.
