2. Slowly add coolant mixture to the system, through the filler opening in the radiator, until the system is full.
Note: A hand operated vacuum pump or similar should be used to syphon the coolant through the system.
3. If necessary, top up the system through the filler and refit the pressure cap.
4. With the aid of an assistant, lean the motorcycle fully over to the right hand side, and then the left hand side, to release air trapped in the cooling system. Repeat as necessary.
5. Refit the battery (see Battery - installation).
6. Start the motorcycle and allow to run for approximately 20 to 30 seconds. Briefly raise the engine speed several times to allow any air to be expelled from the system.
7. Stop the engine. Check and top up the coolant level as necessary.
8. With the aid of an assistant, lean the motorcycle fully over to the right hand side, and then the left hand side, to release air trapped in the cooling system.
9. Start the motorcycle. Briefly raise the engine speed several times to allow any air to be expelled from the system.
10. Allow the engine to run until the cooling fan operates.
11. Stop the motorcycle and allow the engine to cool.
Warning! Do not remove the coolant pressure cap when the engine is hot. When the engine is hot, the coolant inside the cooling system is hot and also under pressure. Contact with the pressurised coolant will cause scalds and skin damage.
12. Check and top up the coolant level as necessary (see Coolant level adjustment).
