Coolant Pressure Cap
Inspection
Do not remove the coolant pressure cap when the
engine is hot. When the engine is hot, the coolant inside
the radiator is hot and also under pressure. Contact with
hot coolant will cause scalds and skin damage.
Before starting work, ensure the motorcycle is stabilised
and adequately supported. This will help prevent it from
falling and causing injury to the operator or damage to
the motorcycle.
1. Remove the pressure cap as described in the coolant
drain section on page 12-6.
2.
Check condition of the upper and lower seals of the
coolant pressure cap.

bar using proprietary tools. If the cap opens at a
lower pressure or fails to open at 1.2 bar, replace the
cap.

section on page 12-7.
