Replace the radiator cap if it does not hold pressure, or
if relief pressure is too high or too low.
It must hold specified pressure for at least 6 seconds.
Install the tester to the radiator.
Pressure the radiator, engine and hoses, and check for

Repair or replace components if the system will not hold
specified pressure for at least 6 seconds.
COOLANT REPLACEMENT
PREPARATION
The effectiveness of coolant [1] decreases with the
accumulation of rust or if there is a change in the
mixing proportion during usage. Therefore, for best
performance change the coolant regularly as
specified in the maintenance schedule.

When filling the system or reserve tank with coolant or
checking the coolant level, place the motorcycle in an
upright position on a flat, level surface.
Remove the lower cowl (page 2-28).
Remove the screw [1] and radiator cap [2].
