Checking the coolant level
Check the coolant level in the expansion tank, on the RH
side of the motorcycle.
The coolant level must be between the MAX and MIN
marks (fig. 34.1).
Top up if the level is too low.
Remove the r.h. side guard of the instrument panel.
Unscrew the filler (1, fig. 34.2) and add a mixture
consisting of water and antifreeze SHELL Advance
Coolant or Glycoshell (35-40% of the volume) up to MAX
mark.
Refit the filler (1) and reassemble all removed parts.
This mixture improves operating conditions (coolant will
start freezing at –20 °C).
Coolant circuit capacity: 3.5 cu dm (liters).
Warning
Place the motorcycle on a flat surface and make
sure the engine is cold before proceeding.
