Engine coolant substitution
Substitution →
Every two years
Before proceeding the emptying of the system,
Perform the following operations in advance:
•
Remove the ignition switch cover (see "Engine
coolant level check");
•
Place a container under the engine to collect the
used coolant;
•
Open the expansion tank cap;
•
Remove the coolant discharge screw (1) situat-
ed on the coolant pump (2), thereby letting the
coolant flow out.
Wait for the engine coolant to completely flow out.
Collect the engine coolant in an appropriate
container. Do not scatter the engine coolant
into the environment.
Tighten the engine coolant discharge plug (1) to the
specified torque, after having checked the condition of
the gasket.
Torque pressure, engine coolant discharge
plug :
8 N·m
Fill the cooling system with the appropriate liquid
described in table (see page 11 of this chapter) until
the level is between the «MIN» mark found on the
expansion tank and the lower part of the frame tube
(see figure on next page).
Close the cap.
Start the engine, keep it running for a few minutes, and
then turn off. Wait for the engine to cool.
Carefully check for leaks, blow-bys, dam-
aged tubing, etc. If there are leaks or damage
in the cooling system, proceed with the over-
haul as described in the chapter "Cooling
system".
Check once again the level of the coolant inside the
expansion tank (3).
It should be between the «MIN» mark found on the
expansion tank and the lower part of the frame tube, as
shown in the figure.
f the level is inferior to the «MIN» mark, top up the
coolant level by pouring new coolant into the filler hole.
