Coolant level check
Check level (1) in right-hand radiator when engine is cold (place the motorcycle
so that it is perpendicular to the ground). The coolant should be approximately
0.39 in. above the cells.
The radiator cap features two locking positions: the rst one is for prior discharge
of pressure from the cooling system.
Avoid removing radiator cap when engine is hot, as coolant may spout
out and cause scalding.
TE-TXC: Because the cooling fan (V) can be activated even when the
start switch is in OFF position, always keep at a safe distance from the
fan blades.
Difculties may arise in eliminating coolant from painted surfaces. If this
occurs, wash off with water.
Coolant replacement
Place a vessel on the L.H. side of the cylinder, under the hose (1).
Remove the drain hose (A) as follows:
- Unscrew the two screws (C);
- Release the spring (D).
Loosen the clamp (2) on the hose (1) and detach the hose from the engine.
SLOWLY open the cap (3) of the right-hand radiator and lean the motorcycle to
the left to let the coolant drain into the vessel.
When nished, ret the hose (1) and secure it with the clamp (2). Ret the drain
hose.
Pour the necessary quantity of coolant in the radiator then warm up the engine
in order to eliminate any possible air bubbles.
Periodically check the connecting hoses (see “Scheduled Maintenance Chart”):
this will avoid coolant leakage and consequent engine seizure. If hoses (A) show
cracks, swelling or hardening due to sheaths desiccation, their replacement
shall be advisable.
Check the correct tightening of the clamps (B).
