CHECKING THE COOLANT LEVEL
1. Stand the motorcycle on a level surface.
NOTE:
• Place the motorcycle on a suitable
stand.
• Make sure that the motorcycle is
upright.
2. Remove:
• bottom cowling
• front cowling
Refer to “COWLINGS”.
3. Check:
• coolant level
The coolant level should be between
the minimum level mark a and maxi-
mum level mark b.
Below the minimum level mark → Add
the recommended coolant to the
proper level.
ACHTUNG:
CAUTION:
• Adding water instead of coolant lowers
the antifreeze content of the coolant. If
water is used instead of coolant, check
and if necessary, correct the antifreeze
concentration of the coolant.
• Use only distilled water. However,
soft water may be used if distilled
water is not available.
4. Start the engine, warm it up for several
minutes, and then turn it off.
5. Check:
• coolant level
NOTE:
Before checking the coolant level, wait a
few minutes until the coolant has set-
tled.
