Kawasaki Ninja Owners Manual: Coolant Level Inspection

Kawasaki Ninja Owners Manual / Maintenance and adjustment / Cooling System / Coolant / Coolant Level Inspection

Situate the motorcycle so that it is perpendicular to the ground.
Check the coolant level through the coolant level gauge on the reserve tank located to the left of the engine.

The coolant level should be between the “F” (Full) and “L” (Low) level lines.

A. Reserve Tank

B. “F” (Full) Level Line

C. “L” (Low) Level Line

NOTE

Check the level when the engine is cold (room or atmospheric temperature).
If the amount of coolant is insufficient, add coolant into the reserve tank.
Remove the cap from the reserve tank and add coolant through the filler opening to the “F” (Full) level line.
