A mixture of 40% anti freeze liquid and 60% water is used as coolant. However,
the anti-freeze protection must be at least -25° C (-13° F). This mixture offers anti-
freeze protection but also good corrosion protection and should therefore not be
replaced by pure water.

Cooling system (EGS)
Coolant is circulated by a water pump located in the engine. When the engine is
cold the coolant circulates only through the cylinder and the cylinder head. After the
engine has reached its operating temperature (about 70°C, 158°F), the thermostat
7
opens and the coolant is also pumped through both aluminum radiators.
Air blowing in through the radiators cools the coolant. The slower the speed of
the motorcycle, the less the coolant is cooled down. Dirty radiators also reduce
the cooling efficiency.
If little or no air blows through the radiators, for example when riding through
slow traffic or waiting at traffic lights, the coolant temperature will rise. If the coo-
lant temperature rises to 85° C ((185°F), the fan
8
on. This fan will provide additional air circulation through the radiator thereby
preventing the cooling system from overheating.
