E Checking the coolant level (fig. 28.1) Check the coolant level in the expansion reservoir, on the LH side of the motorcycle. The coolant level must be between the MAX and MIN marks. Top up if the level is too low. Remove the l.h. body panel and the fuel tank. Lift the tail guard and undo the rear screw (2, fig. 28.2). Remove the tank from its front clamping by pulling the tank backwards. Move it to the right leaving fuel tubing connected. Unscrew the filler (1, fig. 28.1) and add a mixture consisting of water and antifreeze SHEEL Advance Coolant or Glycoshell (35-40% of the volume) up to MAX mark. Refit the filler (1) and reassemble all removed parts. This mixture improves operating conditions (coolant will start freezing at -20°C). Coolant circuit capacity: 3.5 cu dm (liters). Warning Place the motorcycle on a flat surface and make sure the engine is cold before proceeding. fig. 28.1 fig. 28.2 40
