Radiator Coolant Level Inspection
NOTE: This procedure is only re-
quired if the cooling system has been
drained for maintenance and/or re-
pair. However, if the recovery bottle
has run dry, the level in the radiator
should be inspected and coolant
added if necessary.
WARNING Never remove the
pressure cap when the engine is
warm or hot. Escaping steam can
cause severe burns. The engine
must be cool before removing the
pressure cap.

ing a flat, stubby screwdriver loosen

clean the area around the oil cap and
remove the oil cap (2 cycle models).
Remove front cover by placing your

curing front rack. Remove front cov-
er by placing your fingers under the
front of the cover and pulling upward.

tact your dealer for the correct re-
placement part.
