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 inter-
vals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart.
1. Place
the
vehicle
on
the
centerstand.
NOTE:
8
The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level
varies with engine temperature.
8
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 in the cool-
ant reservoir.
NOTE:
The coolant should be between the mini-
mum and maximum level marks.
