Lift the front part of the motorcycle as shown in the
figure.
Fill the cooling system with a suitable liquid described
in the table (see page B-8) until you reach the level of
the bar of the radiator filler cap. Do this in stages to sta-
bilise the liquid level.
Close the cap and move the motorcycle to a horizontal
position.
Switch on the engine and keep it running until the
water becomes hot enough to automatically switch on
the electric cooling fan. Switch off the engine. Repeat
the operation at least once, then wait some minutes for
the engine to cool down.
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
