MAINTENANCE
Cooling System
Bleeding the Cooling System
6. Stop the engine and check the coolant bottle level. Fill as required.
7. Feel the heat exchangers under the running boards. If the system is
bled properly, they'll be warm to the touch. If they're not, repeat
step 5. Lift the front of the machine slightly to assist in the bleed-
ing.
8. Replace the pressure cap and carefully lower the front end of the
machine.
Exhaust System
Check the exhaust system for wear or damage at approximately 2000
miles (3200 km). Always allow the engine and exhaust system to cool
completely before inspecting.
1. Open the hood and inspect the muffler and pipes for cracks or dam-
age.
2. Check for weak or missing retaining springs or damper/support
grommets.
3. Check for loose clamps on the pipe covers.
WARNING
Hot exhaust system parts can cause serious burns. Allow adequate time for
the exhaust system to cool. Never perform this procedure with the engine
running.
