1. Set a radiator tester (1) and an adapter (2) on the
radiator cap.
2. Apply the specified pressure.

4.3.4 Checking radiator water leakage
CAUTION
• When removing the radiator cap, wait at least
ten minutes after the engine has stopped and
cooled down. Otherwise, hot water may gush
out, scalding nearby people.
NOTE
• The pressure of the leak test is different from
each radiator specification.
Thus, do the leak test referring to the test
pressure of each radiator specification.
1. Pour a specified amount of water into the radiator.
2. Set a radiator tester (1) and an adaptor (2) and
raise the water pressure to the specified pressure.

3. Check the radiator for water leaks.
4. For water leak from the pinhole, repair with the
radiator cement. When water leak is excessive,
replace the radiator.
4.3.5 Checking thermostat valve opening
temperature
CAUTION
• When removing the radiator cap, wait at least
ten minutes after the engine has stopped and
cooled down. Otherwise, hot water may gush
out, scalding nearby people.
1. Suspend the thermostat in the water by a string with
its end inserted between the valve and seat.
2. Heating the water gradually, read the temperature
when the valve opens and leaves the string.
3. Continue heating and read the temperature when
the valve opens.
Valve opens
Approximately
8 mm
