Checking the coolant levelThe 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.
1. Place the motorcycle on a level
surface and hold it in an upright
position.NOTE:_ l
The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level
varies with engine temperature.
l
Make sure that the motorcycle is
positioned straight up when
checking the coolant level. A slight
tilt to the side can result in a false
reading.
_
2. Check the coolant level in the
coolant reservoir.NOTE:_ The coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks. _3. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, remove the
rider seat (See page 3-11 for seat
removal and installation proce-
dures.), and then open the coolant
reservoir cap.1. Maximum level mark
