- Engine coolant may be harmful if swallowed or if it comes in contact with skin or eyes. If engine coolant gets into the eyes or in contact with the skin, flush thoroughly with plenty of water. If swallowed, induce vomiting and call physician immediately.
- Flush the radiator with fresh water if necessary.
- Connect the radiator hose 2 securely.
- Pour the specified engine coolant up to the radiator inlet.

Air bleeding the cooling circuit
- Remove the fuel tank. (6-3)
- Remove the right frame head cover. (9-6)
- Add engine coolant up to the radiator inlet.
- Support the motorcycle upright.
- Slowly swing the motorcycle, right and left, to bleed the air trapped in the cooling circuit.
- Add engine coolant up to the radiator inlet.
- Start up the engine and bleed air from the radiator inlet completely.
- Add engine coolant up to the radiator inlet.
- Repeat the above procedure until bleed no air from the radiator inlet.
- Close the radiator cap securely.
- After warming up and cooling down the engine several times, add the engine coolant up to the full level of the reservoir.
Caution: Repeat the above procedure several times and make sure that the radiator is filled with engine coolant up to the reservoir full level.
