2022 Kawasaki CONCOURS 14ABS Coolant
Coolant
- Coolant Level Inspection Position the motorcycle so that it is perpendicular to the ground.
- Check the coolant level through the coolant level gauge on the reserve tank located to the left of the engine. The coolant level should be between the F (Full) and L (Low) level lines.
- A. F F (Full) Level Line
- B. L(Low) Level Line
- C. Reserve Tank
NOTE
Check the level when the engine is cold (room or atmospheric temperature).
- If the amount of coolant is insufficient, add coolant into the reserve tank.
Coolant Filling
- Remove the left rear middle fairing (see Air Cleaner section in this chapter).
- Remove the cap from the reserve tank and add coolant through the filler opening between the F (Full) and L (Low) level lines.
- A. Reserve Tank Cap
NOTE
ln an emergency you can add water alone to the coolant reserve tank, however it must be returned to the correct mixture ratio by the addition of antifreeze concentrate as soon as possible.
NOTICE
If coolant must be added of ten, or the reserve tank completely runs dry, there is probably leakage in the system. Have the cooling system inspected by your authorized Kawasaki dealer.
- Install the reserve tank cap
- Install the removed parts.
Coolant Change
Have the coolant changed by an authorized Kawasaki dealer
Coolant Requirement
WARNING
Coolant-containing corrosion inhibitors for aluminum engines and radiators includes harmful chemicals for the human body. Drinking coolant can result in serious injury or death. Use coolant in accordance with the instructions of the manufacturer.
Use a permanent type of antifreeze (soft water and ethylene glycol plus corrosion and rust inhibitor chemicals for aluminum engines and radiators) in the cooling system. On the mixture ratio of coolant, choose the suitable one referring to the relation between freezing point and strength directed on the container
NOTICE
If hard water is used in the system, it causes scale accumulation in the water passages, and considerably reduces the efficiency of the cooling system.
NOTE
A permanent type of antifreeze is installed in the cooling system when shipped. It is mixed at 50% and has the freezing point of-35°C (-31°F).
