A mixture of 40 % antifreeze liquid and 60 % water is used as coolant. However,
the anti-freeze protection must be at least for –25° C (–13° F). This mixture offers
antifreeze protection but also good corrosion protection and should therefore not
be replaced by pure water.

Pressure induced by heating of the coolant in the system is controlled by a valve in

therefore, having to expect any trouble.
Checking the coolant level
The coolant should be 10 mm (0.4 in) above the radiator fins when the engine is
cold (cf. diagram). In the event of the coolant being drained, always fill and bleed
the system.

The cooling system must be bled as described below after draining of the cooling
liquid or after adding more than 0.25 l (0.06 US gallons) cooling liquid.

– Remove the screw
approx. 30 degree angle.
– Now add cooling liquid until it emerges free of bubbles at the right radiator.
Then immediately mount the screw so that no more air can enter the right
radiator.
– Return the motorcycle to its original position and top up the left radiator until
the coolant can be seen approx. 10 mm (0.4 in) above the radiator fins.
– Check the coolant level again after a short ride.
