Checking and topping up the coolant
(fig. 53)
Check the coolant level in the expansion reservoir on the
right side of the motorcycle. It should be between the
two marks (1) and (2). Mark (2) indicates
MAX
level, and
mark (1) indicates
MIN
level.
Top up if below the
MIN
level.
Remove the right-hand fairing (page 64).
Unscrew the filler cap (3, fig. 53) and add a mixture
consisting of water and antifreeze SHELL Advance Coolant
or Glycoshell (35-40% of the volume) up to the
MAX
mark.
Refit the cap (3) and replace all removed parts.
This type of mixture gives the best operating conditions
(the coolant starts to freeze at –20 °C/-4 °F).
Cooling circuit capacity: 2,3 dm
3
(litres).
Warning
This operation must be carried out with the engine
cold and with the motorcycle vertical and level.
