3-6 COOLING SYSTEM

Coolant

Coolant Level Inspection

NOTE

○

Check the level when the engine is cold (room of ambi-

ent temperature).

CAUTION

Do not check the level through the coolant filler by

removing the radiator cap. If the cap is removed,

the coolant will flow out from the reservoir tank.

•

Check the coolant level in the reservoir tank [A] with the

vehicle held perpendicularly.

If the coolant level is lower than the L (Low) [B] mark,

remove the reservoir tank cap [C], then add coolant to

the F (Full) [D] mark.

CAUTION

For refilling, add the specified mixture of coolant

and soft water. Adding water alone dilutes the

coolant and degrades its anticorrosion properties.

The diluted coolant can attack the aluminum engine

parts. In an emergency, soft water can be added.

But the diluted coolant must be returned to the cor-

rect mixture ratio within a few days.

If coolant must be added often, or the reservoir tank

has run completely dry; there is probably leakage in

the cooling system. Check the system for leaks.

Coolant Draining

WARNING

To avoid burns, do not remove the radiator cap or

try to change the coolant when the engine is still

hot. Wait until it cools down. Coolant on tires will

make them slippery and can cause an accident and

injury. Immediately wash away any coolant that

spills on the frame, engine, or wheels.

Since coolant is harmful to the human body, do not

use for drinking.

•

Pull off the reservoir tank hose [A] and pour the coolant

into a container.

•

Remove:

Radiator Cap [B]

○

Remove the radiator cap in two steps. First turn the cap

counterclockwise to the first stop. Then push and turn it

further in the same direction and remove the c ap.
