COOLING SYSTEM 18 18.1 Cooling system When the vehicle is in standby mode, the water pump pumps the coolant through the cooling circuit. The pressure in the cooling system increases with the temperature of the coolant. A safety valve is contained in radiator cap .
18 COOLING SYSTEM Main work – Remove the radiator cap. – Check the antifreeze in the coolant. −25 … −45 °C (−13 … −49 °F) » If the antifreeze in the coolant does not match the speci- fied value: – Correct the antifreeze in the coolant.
COOLING SYSTEM 18 Coolant ( p. 143) – Mount the radiator cap. 18.4 Draining the coolant Warning Danger of scalding During motorcycle operation, the coolant gets very hot and is under pressure. – Do not remove the radiator cap, radiator hoses or other cooling system components when the motor is hot.
18 COOLING SYSTEM 18.5 Refilling with coolant Warning Danger of poisoning Coolant is toxic and a health hazard. – Keep coolant out of the reach of children. – Do not allow coolant to come into contact with the skin, the eyes and clothing. –...
COOLING SYSTEM 18 18.6 Changing the coolant Warning Danger of scalding During motorcycle operation, the coolant gets very hot and is under pressure. – Do not remove the radiator cap, radiator hoses or other cooling system components when the motor is hot. Allow the motor and cooling system to cool down. In case of scalding, rinse immediately with lukewarm water.
