Coolant Change; Radiator And Hoses - Triumph Speed Triple Handbook

Note:
• If the coolant level is being
checked because the coolant has
overheated, also check the level in
the radiator and
necessary.
• In an emergency, distilled water
can be added to the cooling
system. However,
must then be
replenished with
Hybrid OAT coolant as soon as
possible.
Caution
If hard water is used in the cooling system,
it will cause scale accumulation in the
engine and radiator and considerably
reduces the efficiency of the cooling
system. Reduced cooling system efficiency
may cause the engine to overheat and
suffer severe damage.

Check the radiator fins for obstructions by
insects, leaves or mud. Clean off any
obstructions with a stream of low-pressure
water.
The fan operates automatically when the
engine is running. Always keep hands and
clothing away from the fan as contact with
the rotating fan can cause injury.
Using high-pressure water sprays, such as
from a car wash facility or household
pressure washer, can damage the radiator
fins, cause leaks and impair the radiator's
efficiency.
Do not obstruct or deflect airflow through
the radiator by installing unauthorised
accessories, either in front of the radiator or
behind the cooling fan. Interference with
the radiator airflow can cause overheating,
potentially resulting in engine damage.
