100 MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT Coolant Coolant absorbs excessive heat from the engine and transfers it to the air at 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, also in accordance with the periodic maintenance chart and replenish coolant if the level is low. Change the coolant in accordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart. inhibitor chemicals are not used, over a period of time, the cooling system accumulates rust and scale in the water jacket and radiator. This will clog up the coolant passages, and considerably reduce the efficiency of the cooling system. WARNING Coolant containing corrosion inhitors for alminum engines and radiators include harmful chemicals for human body. Drinking coolant can result in serious injury or death. Use coolant in accordance with the instractions of the manufacturer. Soft or distilled water must be used with the antifreeze (see below for antifreeze) in the cooling system. Information for Coolant To protect the cooling system (consisting of the aluminum engine and radiator) from rust and corrosion, the use of corrosion and rust inhibitor chemicals in the coolant is essential.

MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
Coolant -
Coolant absorbs excessive heat from
the engine and transfers it to the air
at the radiator. If the coolant level be-
comes low, the engine overheats and
may suffer severe damage. Check the
coolant level each day before riding the
motorcycle, also in accordance with the
periodic maintenance chart and replen-
ish coolant if the level is low. Change
the coolant in accordance with the Pe-
riodic Maintenance Chart.
Information for Coolant
To protect the cooling system (con-
sisting of the aluminum engine and
radiator) from rust and corrosion, the
use
of
corrosion
and
rust
inhibitor
chemicals in the coolant is essential. If
coolant containing corrosion and rust
inhibitor chemicals are not used, over
a period of time, the cooling system
accumulates rust and scale in the wa-
ter jacket and radiator.
This will clog
up the coolant passages, and con-
siderably reduce the efficiency of the
cooling system.
WARNING
Coolant containing corrosion in-
hitors for alminum engines and
radiators include harmful chem-
icals for human body. Drinking
coolant can result in serious in-
jury or death. Use coolant in ac-
cordance with the instractions of
the manufacturer.
Soft or distilled water must be used
with the antifreeze (see below for an-
tifreeze) in the cooling system.
