Checking and topping up the coolant
(fig. 55)
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 68).
Unscrew the filler cap (3, fig. 55) 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

(litres).
Warning

cold and with the motorcycle vertical and level.
