CAUTION
Use only distilled water when topping
off the cooling system. This will reduce
damage to the engine.
WARNING
Do not add any additives or other
substances to the coolant.
The coolant is very hot.
Do not remove the filler cap (1) when
the engine is hot since the coolant is
under pressure and it will splash out
violently.
If it comes in contact with the skin or
with your clothing, it may cause severe
burns.

WARNING
Wait for the engine to cool down before
checking or topping up coolant level.
u Stop the engine and wait until it has
cooled down.
u Hold the vehicle upright, with both
wheels on the ground.
u Look through the slot (2) in the right
fairing and check that coolant level in the
expansion tank is between the "FULL"
and "LOW" marks.

If not so:
u Remove the side fairing, see page 113
(REMOVING THE SIDE FAIRINGS).

filler cap, wipe the cap and the area
around the cap with a clean cloth.

getting into the expansion tank, this
could lead to serious engine damage.
u Loosen the filler cap (1) (by giving it half
counterclockwise turn), without
removing it.

present in the circuit.
