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 at the back of the middle fairing. The coolant level should be between the F (Full) and L (Low) level lines.
A. 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 Requirement
WARNING
Coolant-containing corrosion inhibitors for aluminum engines and radiators include harmful chemicals to 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 a freezing point of—350C (—31 OF).
