must be clear and open.

of antifreeze and distilled water as required for freeze
protection in your area.

completely and check coolant level in the radiator and in-
spect for signs of trapped air in system.
RADIATOR COOLANT LEVEL INSPECTION

tem has been drained for maintenance and/or repair.
However, if the recovery bottle has run dry, or if overheat-
ing is evident, 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 se-
vere burns. The engine must be cool before removing the
pressure cap.
NOTE: Use of a non-standard pressure cap will not allow
the recovery system to function properly.

Remove the four screws securing front rack. Turn handle
bars full left or right to provide more clearance. Remove
front cover by placing your fingers under the front of the
cover and pulling upward.
