3 .
Remove the bleed screw from the right hand side of
the radiator.
1. Top hose
2. Bleed screw (if fitted)
Note:
•
During filling, squeezing the bottom hose
with both hands will help to pump coolant
around the system and remove trapped air.
5.
Slowly add coolant mixture to the system, through
the filler opening in the radiator, until the system is
full.
6.
If the system has filled correctly and fully, there
should be coolant visible through the:
radiator bleed screw opening;
top hose bleed screw opening (if fitted>;
radiator filler opening.
Z
If there is no coolant visible through the radiator
bleed screw opening, but the filler side appears to be
full, attach a length of clear tubing to the radiator
bleed screw spigot and syphon coolant into the
bleed screw side of the radiator.

•
A hand operated vacuum pump or similar
should be used to syphon the coolant
through the system.
8.
If necessary, top up the system through the filler and
refit the pressure cap.
9.
I nstall the rad iator bleed screw and tighten to
1. 5 Nm.

If fitted, install the top hose bleed screw and tighten
to
1 Nm.

With the aid of an assistant, lean the motorcycle fully
over to the right hand side, and then the left hand
side, to release air trapped in the cooling system.
Repeat as necessa ry.

Start
the
motorcycle
approximately 20 to 3 0 seconds. Briefly raise the
engine speed several times to a llow a ny air to be
expelled from the system.

Stop the engine. Check and top up the coolant level
as necessary.

Allow the engine to run u ntil the cooling fan
operates.
18.
Stop the motorcycle and allow the engine to cool.
Do not remove the coolant pressu re cap when the
engine is hot. When the engine is hot, the coolant inside
the cooling system is hot and also under pressu re.
Contact with the pressurised coolant will cause scalds
and skin damage.
19. Check and top up the coolant level as necessary.
20. Refit the upper radiator panels (see page 16-14).
21.
Refit the lower radiator panels (see page 16-14>.
2 2 . Check the expansion tan k level and top up if
necessary.
