Checking The Coolant Level - Ducati 1098 2007 Manual

section
D 4

Checking the coolant level

At the intervals specified in the "Routine Maintenance" chart (Sect. D 3), check the coolant level in the expansion tank, located
on the right-hand side of the motorcycle.
The coolant level must be between the MAX and MIN marks on the tank.
If the level is low, top up with the recommended coolant.
Remove the RH side fairing (Sect. E 2).
Remove the filler cap (1) and top up to the specified level.
Refit the cap (1) and replace any parts removed.
For optimal operating conditions (coolant mixture starting to freeze at -20 °C), the recommended liquid antifreeze should be
mixed with water in the following percentages:
ANTIFREEZE: 35÷40% of volume;
WATER: 65÷60% of volume.
Important
Avoid using particularly hard water with a high mineral salt content, as this could damage the engine.
Increase the amount of coolant to up to 55% of volume in the case of very cold climates.
Important
Solutions with less than 30% of anti-freeze will not provide sufficient protection against corrosion.
