Coolant
The 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.

To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
2. Remove cowling A. (See page
7-9.)
TIP
● The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level
varies with engine temperature.
● 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.
3. Check the coolant level in the cool-
ant reservoir.
TIP
The coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
4. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, remove cowl-
ing C. (See page 7-9.)
5. Remove the coolant reservoir
breather hose from the guide, and
then remove the coolant reservoir
cap.
