2.5. COOLANT<br />

2.5.1. COOLANT<br />

CHECKING AND TOPPING UP COOLANT LEVEL<br />

• Check coolant level before each ride. Change coolant<br />

every 2 years.<br />

WARNING<br />

Check and top up coolant level when the engine<br />

is cold.<br />

• The engine should be off and completely cold.<br />

IMPORTANT Place the motorcycle on firm and level ground.<br />

• Position the vehicle on the stand.<br />

• Remove front cover, see 7.1.9 (REMOVING THE<br />

FRONT COVER).<br />

• Check that the coolant level in the expansion (2) reservoir<br />

is between the MAX and MIN marks (see figure).<br />

If not, proceed as follows:<br />

• Release and remove the filler cap (1).<br />

WARNING<br />

Coolant is toxic when ingested and is an irritant,<br />

contact with eyes or skin may cause irritation.<br />

Do not put your fingers or any tools into the<br />

filler opening to check coolant level.<br />

CAUTION<br />

Do not add any additives or other products.<br />

If you use a funnel or other similar items, make<br />

sure that they are perfectly clean.<br />

• Add coolant mixture until the level reaches just below<br />

the MAX mark.<br />

• Never overfill (top up beyond the MAX mark), or coolant<br />

will leak out when the engine is running.<br />

• Refit the filler cap (1).<br />

• Refit front cover, see 7.1.9 (REMOVING THE FRONT<br />

COVER).<br />

CAUTION<br />

In the event the motorcycle is using up exceeding<br />

coolant or the expansion (9) reservoir is<br />

empty, check the circuit for leaks.<br />
