Warning: Do not remove the coolant pressure cap when the engine is hot. When the engine is hot, the coolant inside the radiator is hot and also under pressure. Contact with the pressurised coolant will cause scalds and skin damage.
Note: Only inspect the coolant level when the engine is cold.
1. Position the motorcycle on level ground and in an upright position.
2. The expansion tank can be viewed from the right hand side of the motorcycle, below and towards the front of the fuel tank. The coolant level should be between the 'MAX' and 'MIN.' marks.
1. Expansion tank (fuel tank shown removed for clarity); 2. Expansion tank filler cap; 3. 'MAX' mark; 4. 'MIN' mark
3. If the level of coolant is low, remove the cap from the expansion tank and add coolant mixture as necessary to bring the level up to the 'MAX' mark. Refit the cap.
Caution: If the coolant level is found to be low, or if coolant has to be added regularly, inspect the cooling system for coolant leaks. If necessary, pressure test the system to locate the source of the leak and rectify as necessary. Loss of coolant may cause the engine to overheat and suffer severe damage.
