Radiator Coolant; Cooling System - Honda NT700V Deauville Service Manual

Check the coolant level of the reserve tank with the
engine running at normal operating temperature.
The level should be between the "UPPER" and
"LOWER" level lines with the motorcycle is i n an
upright position.
If the level is low, remove the reserve tank cap, and
fill the tank to the "UPPER" level line with a
1:l mix-
ture of distilled water and antifreeze (coolant prepa-
ration: page 7-6).
RFCOMMERII2ED ANTIFREEZE:

Using coolant with silicate corrosion inhibitors may
cause premature wear o f water pump seals or
blockage o f radiator passages. Using tap water may
cause eng~ne damage.
Check to see if there are any coolant leaks when the
coolant level decreases very rapidly.
If the reserve tank becomes completely empty, there
is a possibflity of air getting into the coobng system.
Be sure to remove any air from the coobng system
(page
7-7).
OOLING SYSTEM
Check the radiator air passage for clogs or damage.
Straighten bent fins with a small, flat blade screw-
driver and remove insects, mud or other obstruc-
tions with compressed air or low pressure water.
Replace the radiator if the air flow is restricted over
more than 20% of the radiating surface.
For radiator replacement, refer to page 7-10.
