been reached), the indicator must be
reset after the oil change for the next
periodic oil change to be indicated at
the correct time.

Coolant
The coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the cool-
ant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAU46331
To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on the center-
stand.
TIP
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 the
side can result in a false reading.
2. Check the coolant level through
the check window.
TIP
The coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
