MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Engine Cooling System
Radiator Coolant Level
NOTE: This procedure is required
only if the cooling system has been
drained for maintenance and/or repair.
However, if the recovery bottle has
run dry, the level in the radiator
should be inspected and coolant
added if necessary.
1. Locate the radiator pressure cap:
Gen III - Clean the area around the
oil cap (1) and remove it (2-cycle
models). Remove the front cover by
placing your fingers under the front
of the cover and pulling upward.
Reinstall the oil cap.
Gen IV - Using the tool provided,
remove the four screws securing the
front rack (2). Remove the front
cover (3) by placing your fingers
under the front of the cover and
pulling upward.
2. Remove the pressure cap.
3. Using a funnel, slowly add
coolant as necessary through the
radiator filler neck.
4. Replace the pressure cap and
secure the front cover.
NOTE: Use of a non-standard pressure cap will not allow the
recovery system to function properly. Contact your dealer for the
correct replacement part.
WARNING
Escaping steam can cause severe burns. Never remove the
pressure cap while the engine is warm or hot. Always allow the
engine to cool before removing the pressure cap.
