Check The Coolant Level - Honda ST1300 2003 Setup Instructions

20. Check the final drive oil level.
Place the motorcycle on its center stand on a firm,
level surface.
Remove the oil filler cap.
Check the oil level. It should be flush with the lower
edge of the oil filler hole. If the level is low, check for oil
leaks. Add the recommended oil through the oil filler
hole until it reaches the lower edge of the opening.
Recommended oil: Pro Honda Shaft Drive Oil or
equivalent SAE 80 hypoid gear oil.
Reinstall the oil filler cap.
21. Check the front and rear brake reservoir
fluid levels.
Turn the handlebar so that the front brake reservoir is
level and check the fluid level.
Make sure the motorcycle is level and check the rear
brake fluid level.
If the fluid level is low in either reservoir, remove the
reservoir cover and diaphragm (by removing the two
screws) or cap.
Add Pro Honda DOT 4 brake fluid or equivalent from a
sealed container to bring the level up to the upper
level mark.
Reinstall the cap or the diaphragm, cover, and screws.
Operate the hand lever and foot pedal. If the free play
is excessive or the brake feels spongy and the
reservoir fluid level is correct, bleed the system.

22. Check the coolant level.

Check the coolant level at the coolant reserve tank. If
required, remove the coolant reserve tank cap and add
Pro Honda coolant or an equivalent 50/50 mixture of
antifreeze and distilled water to restore the level to the
UPPER level mark. Do not spill coolant on painted or
plastic surfaces as it can damage the finish.
