Thie cooling system is fitted with an electric fan (which starts automatically
above a given temperature) in order to guarantee the most efficient
performance in all riding conditions. The fluid used as coolant is constituted
by a liquid solution of ethylene glycol-based antifreeze and corrosion inhibitors.
In order for the correct operating temperature of the engine to be maintained,
the indicated coolant temperature must remain in the bottom half of the
gauge «1» «1». If the bars in the top-half of the gauge «1» «1» «1» «1»
riding the vehicle, stop the engine immediately and allow it to cool down.
