CoolantThe coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the cool-
ant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAU50543
To check the coolant level1. Place the vehicle on the center- stand.
2. Remove cowling A. (See page 6-8.)TIPThe coolant level must be
checked on a cold engine since
the level varies with engine tem-
perature.
 Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking
the coolant level. A slight tilt to the
side can result in a false reading.3. Check the coolant level in the
coolant reservoir.TIPThe coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
4. If the coolant is at or below theminimum level mark, remove
cowling C. (See page 6-8.)
5. Remove the coolant reservoir breather hose from the guide, and
then remove the coolant reservoir
cap. WARNING! Remove only
the coolant reservoir cap. Never
attempt to remove the ra diator
cap when the en gine is hot.

mark, and then install the coolant
reservoir cap. NOTICE: If coolant
is not availab le, use distille d wa-
ter or soft tap water instea d. Do
not use har d water or salt water

If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with cool-
ant as soon as possi ble, other-
wise the coolin g system will not
b e protecte d a gainst frost an d
corrosion. If water has been
a dd ed to the coolant, have a
