MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
j
Cooling System
Water Hoses
Check the water hoses for cracks or deterioration,
and the connections for looseness in accordance
with the Periodic Maintenance Chart.
Radiator
Check the radiator fins for obstruction by insects or
mud. Clean off any obstructions with a low-pressure
stream of water.
NOTICE
Using high-pressure water, as from a car
wash facility, could damage the radiator fins
and impair the radiator’s effectiveness.
Do not obstruct or deflect airflow by in-
stalling unauthorized accessories in front of
the radiator.
Interference with the cooling airflow can lead
to overheating and consequent engine dam-
age.
Coolant
Coolant absorbs excessive heat from the engine
and transfers it to the air through the radiator.
If
the coolant level becomes low, the engine overheats
and may suffer severe damage. Check the coolant
level each day before riding the motorcycle, and re-
plenish coolant if the level is low.
WARNING
The cooling system can get extremely hot
during normal operation and cause serious
burns. Do not touch the radiator when it is
hot, nor open the radiator cap. Hot coolant
inside will cause severe burns.
NOTE
°
The coolant originally filled into the cooling sys-
tem contains 50% of a permanent, ethylene-glycol
-based antifreeze, has a freezing point of –35°C
(–31°F) and a green appearance.
