To check the coolant level
The coolant level should be checked as
follows before each ride. In addition,
the coolant must be changed at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart.
1. Place the vehicle on the center-
stand.NOTE:
The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level
varies with engine temperature.
Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking
the coolant level. A slight tilt to theside can result in a false reading.
2. Check the coolant level in the cool-
ant reservoir.
NOTE:The coolant should be between theminimum and maximum level marks.
3. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, remove the
bolt, the coolant reservoir cap cov-
er and the reservoir cap.4. Add coolant or distilled water to
raise the coolant to the maximum
level mark, install the coolant res-
ervoir cap, the coolant reservoir
cap cover and the bolt.
CAUTION:
ECA10470
If coolant is not available, use
distilled water or soft tap water
instead. Do not use hard water
or salt water since it is harmful
to the engine.
