COOLANT

Check
• Check coolant level before each ride; change coolant
every two years.
WARNING
Check the coolant level and top up the
expansion tank with cold engine.
• Stop the engine and wait until it has cooled down.
CAUTION Place the vehicle on a firm and flat surface.
•
Lift the fuel tank, see (LIFTING THE FUEL TANK).
•
Hold the vehicle upright with both wheels on the
ground.
•
Make sure that the level of the fluid contained in the
expansion tank (1) is included between the "MIN" and
"MAX" marks.
If not so:
• Unscrew and remove the filler plug (2).
DANGER
Coolant is toxic when ingested and is an
irritant, contact with eyes or skin may cause
irritation.
Do not attempt to check coolant level using
your fingers or any objects.
WARNING
Do not put additives or other substances into
the fluid.
If you use a funnel or other similar items, make
sure that they are perfectly clean.
TOPPING UP
•
Top up the expansion tank by adding coolant, see
(LUBRICANT CHART), until coolant almost reaches
the "MAX" level.
• Do not exceed this level, otherwise the fluid will flow
out while the engine is running.
• Refit the filler plug (2).
WARNING
In case of excessive consumption of coolant
and in case the expansion tank (1) remains
empty, make sure that there are no leaks in the
circuit.
