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.
