MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE »
Checking the cooling liquid level in the radiator
Remove the 5 screws and the right cover [1], disconnect the flasher cable
and tank ventilation.
IF POSSIBLE, ALWAYS CHECK LEVEL OF COOLING LIQUID WHEN ENGINE IS COLD.
IF YOU HAVE TO OPEN THE RADIATOR CAP WHEN ENGINE IS HOT, USE A RAG TO
COVER THE CAP AND OPEN SLOWLY TO RELEASE PRESSURE.
Carefully remove the radiator cap [2] with a rag, turning in a counterclock-
wise direction. The radiator should be completely filled with cooling liquid.
No air should be in the radiator.
If any cooling liquid is missing, the cooling system may leak. Have the
cooling system checked by an authorized KTM workshop.
IF MORE THAN 1 LITER (0.26 USGAL) OF COOLING LIQUID NEEDS TO BE ADDED,
THE COOLING SYSTEM MUST BE BLED.

Bleeding the cooling system *
Remove the 5 screws and the left cover [3], disconnect the flasher cable and
tank ventilation.
Remove the bleeder screw [4] on the left side of the radiator.
To be able to completely bleed the cooling system, raise the motorcycle
approx. 50 cm in the front.
Add cooling liquid until it runs out of the discharge opening without bubbles
and immediately mount the screw to prevent more air from getting into the
radiator.
Completely fill the radiator with cooling liquid.
Connect the flasher cable and tank ventilation. Mount the cover.
Take a short ride and check the cooling liquid level again.
