EAS2GB2084CHECKING THE COOLANT LEVELEWA
WARNING
If coolant seems hot, do not remove the ra-
diator cap.
1. Stand the vehicle upright on a level surface.
2. Remove:
• Radiator cap “1”
3. Check:
• Coolant level
Maximum level “a” or below  Add coolant
up to the maximum level.
ECA
NOTICE
• Adding water instead of coolant lowers the
antifreeze content. If, therefore, water is
used instead of coolant, check, and if nec-
essary, adjust the antifreeze concentra-
tion.
• Use only distilled water. However, if dis-
tilled water is not available, soft water may
be used.
4. Start the engine, warm this up for 3 minutes,
and then stop it.
5. Check:
• Coolant level
TIP
Before checking the coolant level, wait a few
minutes until the coolant has settled.

• Seat
• Side cover (left/right)
• Air scoop (left/right)
Refer to “GENERAL CHASSIS” on page 5-

WARNING
If coolant seems hot, do not remove the ra-
diator cap.
1. Place a container under the engine.
2. Remove:
• Coolant drain bolt “1”
3. Remove:
• Radiator cap
Slowly loosen the radiator cap to drain cool-
ant.
TIP
When the radiator cap is loosened, coolant will
gush out transversely; therefore, bring the con-
tainer near to the outlet.
4. Thoroughly flush the cooling system with
clean tap water.

EWA
WARNING
• If coolant splashes in your eyes, thorough-
ly wash them with water and consult a
doctor.
• If coolant splashes on your clothes, quick-
ly wash it away with water and then with
soap and water.
• If coolant is swallowed, induce vomiting
and get immediate medical attention.
ECA
NOTICE
• Adding water instead of coolant lowers the
antifreeze content of the coolant. If water
is used instead of coolant check, and if
necessary, correct the antifreeze concen-
tration of the coolant.
• Use only distilled water. However, if dis-
tilled water is not available, soft water may
be used.
• If coolant comes into contact with painted
surfaces, immediately wash them with wa-
ter.
• Do not mix different types of antifreeze.
7. Install:
• Radiator cap
8. Start the engine, warm this up for 3 minutes,
stop it, and then wait for it to cool down.
9. Check:
• Coolant level
Refer to “CHECKING THE COOLANT LEV-
EL” on page 3-10.

it can stay for 5 to 10 seconds within stan-
dard pressure values.
TIP
Before attaching the cap to the tester, apply
water to its sealing surface.

CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL
1. Stand the vehicle upright on a level surface.
2. Start the engine, warm this up for 3 minutes,
and then stop the engine and wait about 5
minute.
3. Check:
• Oil level
The engine oil level should be between the
minimum level mark “a” and maximum level
mark “b”.
Below the minimum level mark  Add the
recommended engine oil to the proper level.
ECA
NOTICE
• Since engine oil also lubricates the clutch,
the wrong oil types or additives could
cause clutch slippage. Therefore, do not
add any chemical additives.
• Do not allow foreign material to enter the
