FILLING THE COOLING SYSTEM
Position the motorcycle on the side stand.
Fill the cooling system with the required liquid
described in the table (see page B-8) up to the level of
the radiator fill cap. Carry out the operation several
times until the level of the liquid is stable.
Close the cap and bring the motorcycle back to a ver-
tical position on the central stand.
Fill the expansion tank up to the "MIN" level.
Start the engine, keeping it running long enough to
heat the fluid until the cooling fans begin operating,
then turn the engine off. Repeat the operation at least
once, then wait a few minutes for the engine to cool.
Check thoroughly for leaks, seepage, dam-
aged pipes, etc in the cooling system. If nec-
essary overhaul the system following the
steps described in this chapter.
Check the coolant liquid level inside the expansion
tank again. It must be above the "MIN" level marking
on the expansion tank.
If the level is below the "MIN" mark, top it up by adding
new liquid through the fill cap.
