EAU12182
Coolant temperature gauge
With the key in the “ON” position, the
coolant temperature gauge indicates
the temperature of the coolant. When
the key is turned to “ON”, the coolant
temperature gauge needle will sweep
once across the temperature range and
then return to “C” in order to test the
electrical circuit. The coolant tempera-
ture varies with changes in the weather
and engine load. If the needle reaches
or enters the red zone, stop the vehicle
and let the engine cool. (See
page 6-35.)
NOTICE

ECA10021
Do not continue to operate the en-
gine if it is overheating.

WARNING

EWA12312
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
making any setting changes to the
multi-function display. Changing
settings while riding can distract the
operator and increase the risk of an
accident.

8. If the chain drive oil is not between
the tip of the dipstick and the max-
imum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.
9. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler
hole, and then tighten the oil filler
cap.
NOTICE

ECA15010

Make sure that no foreign mate-
rial enters the chain drive case.

Make sure that no oil gets on the
tire or wheel.
10. Check the chain drive case for oil
leakage. If leakage is found, checkfor the cause.
11. Install the panel.
EAU20070
Coolant
The 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.
EAU46331
To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on the center-
stand.
TIP


The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level
varies with engine temperature.

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.
2. Check the coolant level through
the check window.
TIP

The coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
