COOLING SYSTEM 15.1 Cooling system Water pump in the engine circulates the coolant. The pressure resulting from the warming of the cooling system is regulated by a valve in radiator cap . Heat expansion causes excess coolant to flow into compensating tank When the temperature falls, this surplus coolant is sucked back into the cooling system.
COOLING SYSTEM The coolant is cooled by the air stream and a radiator fan , which is controlled by a ther- moswitch. The lower the speed, the less the cooling effect. Dirty cooling fins also reduce the cooling effect. 401768-10 15.2 Checking the antifreeze and coolant level...

COOLING SYSTEM Warning Danger of poisoning Coolant is poisonous and a health hazard. – Coolant must not come into contact with the skin, eyes, or clothing. If contact occurs with the eyes, rinse with water immedi- ately and contact a physician. Immediately clean contaminated areas on the skin with soap and water. If fuel is swallowed, con- tact a physician immediately.
COOLING SYSTEM – Remove radiator cap – Check the coolant antifreeze. −25… −45 °C (−13… −49 °F) » If the antifreeze in the coolant does not match the specified value: – Correct the coolant antifreeze. – Check the coolant level in the radiator. The radiator must be completely filled.

CLEANING, CARE 18.1 Cleaning the motorcycle Note Material damage Damage and destruction of components by high-pressure cleaning equipment. – When cleaning the vehicle with a pressure cleaner, do not point the water jet directly onto electrical components, connectors, cables, bearings, etc. Maintain a minimum distance of 60 cm between the nozzle of the pressure cleaner and the component. Excessive pres- sure can cause malfunctions or destroy these parts.
Page 160
CLEANING, CARE Info Use warm water containing normal motorcycle cleaner and a soft sponge. Never apply motorcycle cleaner to a dry vehicle; always rinse the vehicle with water first. If the vehicle was operated in road salt, clean it with cold water. Warm water would enhance the corrosive effects of salt.
CLEANING, CARE Perfect Finish and high gloss polish for paints ( p. 185) Info Do not polish parts that were matte when delivered as this would strongly impair the material quality. – Treat all plastic parts and powder-coated parts with a mild cleaning and care product.

STANDARDS JASO T903 MA Different technical development directions required a new specification for 4-stroke motorcycles – the JASO T903 MA Standard. Ear- lier, engine oils from the automobile industry were used for 4-stroke motorcycles because there was no separate motorcycle specification. Whereas long service intervals are demanded for automobile engines, high performance at high engine speeds are in the foreground for motorcycle engines.
