NOTE
Check the level when the engine is cold (room or ambient temperature).
Check the coolant level in the reserve tank [A] with the motorcycle held perpendicular (Do not use the sidestand).
If the coolant level is lower than the “L” level line [B], remove the upper fairing assembly (see Upper Fairing Assembly Removal in the Frame chapter), and then unscrew the reserve tank cap and add coolant to the “F” level line [C].
“L”: Low
“F”: Full
NOTICE
For refilling, add the specified mixture of coolant and soft water. Adding water alone dilutes the coolant and degrades its anticorrosion properties.
The diluted coolant can attack the aluminum engine parts. In an emergency, soft water alone can be added. But the diluted coolant must be returned to the correct mixture ratio within a few days.
If coolant must be added often or the reservoir tank has run completely dry, there is probably leakage in the cooling system. Check the system for leaks.
Coolant ruins painted surfaces. Immediately wash away any coolant that spills on the frame, engine, wheels or other painted parts.

Radiator Hose and Pipe Inspection (coolant leak, damage, installation
condition)Air Suction Valve Installation
Install the air suction valve so that opening [A] of the reed
faces downward.
Apply a non-permanent locking agent to the threads of
the air suction valve cover bolts [A], and tighten them.

Clutch Plate, Wear, Damage Inspection
Visually inspect the friction and steel plates for signs of
seizure, overheating (discoloration), or uneven wear.
Measure the thickness of each friction plate [A] at several
points.
If any plates show signs of damage, or if they have worn
past the service limit, replace them with new on ...
Sprocket Wear Inspection
Visually inspect the engine and rear sprocket teeth for
wear and damage.
If the teeth are worn as illustrated, replace the sprocket,
and inspect the drive chain wear (see Drive Chain Wear
Inspection in the Periodic Maintenance chapter).
