Coolant Level Inspection - Triumph Rocket III Classic Service Manual

Coolant Level Inspection
Before starting work, ensure the motorcycle is stabilised
and adequately supported. This will help prevent it from
falling and causing injury to the operator or damage to
the motorcycle.
1. Position the motorcycle on level ground and in an
upright position.
Note:
• The coolant level within the expansion tank can
be inspected, without removing any covers, by
looking between the fuel tank and frame
headstock on the left hand side of the
motorcycle. Always inspect the coolant level
with the engine cold.
2. The coolant level must be between the 'MAX' (upper
line) and 'MIN' (lower line) marks in the expansion
tank.

Coolant Level Ad;ustment
Before starting work, ensure the motorcycle is stabilised
and adequately supported. This will help prevent it from
falling and causing injury to the operator or damage to
the motorcycle.
Cooling
Do not remove the expansion tank or radiator pressure
cap when the engine is hot. When the engine is hot, the
coolant inside the expansion tank will be hot and also
under pressure. Contact with hot coolant will cause
scalds and skin damage.
1. Allow the engine to cool for at least 30 minutes.
2. Rocket III and Classic only: Remove the intake
cover as follows: Release the two screws from its
