Cooling
Coolant Replacement
Drainage
Do not remove the coolant pressure cap when the
engine
is hot. When the engine is hot, the coolant
inside the radiator
is hot and also under pressure.
Contact with hot coolant will cause scalds
and skin
damage.
Before starting work, ensure
the motorcycle is
stabilised and adequately supported. This will help
prevent
it from falling and causing injury to the
operator or damage to the motorcycle.
