Maintenance
Coolant
Checking the Coolant
1. Place your motorcycle on a firm, level
surface.
2. Hold your motorcycle in an upright
position.
3. Check that the coolant level is between
the upper and lower level marks in the
reserve tank.
Reserve tank
Upper
level
Lower
level
If the coolant level is dropping noticeably or
the reserve tank is empty, you likely have a
serious leak. Have your motorcycle inspected
by your dealer.
Adding Coolant
1. If the coolant level is below the lower
level, add the recommended coolant
(
P.49)
until the level reaches the upper
level mark.
Add fluid only from the reserve tank cap
and do not remove the radiator cap.
2. Remove the right front side cowl.
