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.

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

Radiator and Hoses
Warning
The fan operates automatically when
the engine is running.
Always keep hands and clothing away
from the fan.
Contact with the rotating fan may
cause an accident and/or personal
injury.
Caution
Using high pressure water sprays,
such as from a car wash facility or
household pressure washer, can
damage the radiator fins, cause leaks
and impair the radiator's efficiency.
Do not obstruct or deflect airflow
through the radiator by installing
unauthorized accessories, either in
front of the radiator or behind the
cooling fan.
Interference with the radiator airflow
can cause overheating, potentially
resulting in engine damage.
Check the radiator hoses for cracks
or deterioration, and tension clips for
tightness in accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements. Have your
authorized Triumph dealer replace any
defective items.
Check the radiator grille and fins for
obstructions by insects, leaves or
mud. Clean off any obstructions with a
stream of low pressure water.
