To check the coolant level
1. Place the motorcycle on a level
surface and hold it in an upright
position.
NOTE:
@
The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level
varies with engine temperature.
Make sure that the motorcycle is
positioned
checking the coolant level. A slight
tilt to the side can result in a false
reading.
