Coolant Level Adjustment
Warning
Do not remove the expansion tank or
radiator pressure cap when the
engine is hot.
When the engine is hot, the coolant
inside the radiator will be hot and also
under pressure.
Contact with this hot, pressurized
coolant will cause scalds and skin
damage.
Caution
If hard water is used in the cooling
system, it will cause scale
accumulation in the engine and
radiator and considerably reduce the
efficiency of the cooling system.
Reduced cooling system efficiency
may cause the engine to overheat and
suffer severe damage.
1. Expansion tank cover
2. Spigots
3. Grommets

To adjust the coolant level:
▼ Allow the engine to cool for a
minimum of 30 minutes.
▼ Position the motorcycle on level
ground and in an upright position.
▼ Grasp the coolant expansion tank
cover firmly in both hands and gently
pull the top edge of the panel away
from the motorcycle until the spigots
are away from the retaining
grommets (leaving the grommets in
place).
▼ The coolant level must be between
the MAX (upper line) and MIN (lower
line) marks in the expansion tank.
▼ Remove the coolant expansion tank
cap from the coolant expansion tank.
▼ Add coolant mixture through the
filler opening until the level reaches
the MAX mark.
▼ Reinstall the coolant expansion tank
cap.
▼ Position the spigots on the
expansion tank cover to the
grommets.
▼ Press firmly to secure the cover.
▼ Grasp the cover and make sure that
it is fully retained.
