checklist and perform all steps that apply:
General Items
1. Install previously removed components using
new gaskets, seals, and fasteners where
applicable.
2. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls,
and all important areas on the vehicle as outlined
in the daily pre-ride inspection checklist (refer to
Chapter 2 or the Owner’s Manual).

if necessary. Refer to Chapter 2 and Chapter 8.
Exhaust
1. Replace exhaust gaskets. Seal connections with
high temp silicone sealant.
2. Check to be sure all springs are in goodcondition.
Bleed Cooling System
NOTE: This cooling system contains vent lines to
help purge trapped air during filling. Refer to Page
3.15 for hose routing. Bleeding generally should not
be necessary.
1. Remove radiator cap and slowly add coolant to
the bottom of filler neck.
2. Fill coolant reservoir tank to full mark.
3. Install radiator cap and gently squeeze coolant
hoses to force any trapped air out of system.
4. Again, remove radiator cap and slowly add
coolant to the bottom of fill neck if needed.
5. Start engine and observe coolant level in the
radiator. Allow air to purge and top off as
necessary. Reinstall radiator cap and bring
engine to operating temperature. After engine is
cool, check level inreservoir tank and addcoolant
if necessary.
NOTE: Should the reservoir tank become empty, it
will be necessary to refill at the radiator and repeat the
bleeding procedure.
