Checking the antifreeze and coolant level

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.
Warning
Danger of poisoning Coolant is poisonous and a health hazard.

the cooling circuit.
The pressure in the cooling system increases with the temperature of the coolant. A

the specified coolant temperature will not result in a risk of malfunctions.
