COOLANT
Coolant Recommendation
The owner must properly maintain the
coolant to prevent freezing, overheating,
and corrosion. Use only high quality
ethylene glycol antifreeze containing
corrosion protection inhibitors specifically
recommended for use in aluminum
engines. (SEE ANTIFREEZE CONTAINER
LABEL).
Use only low-mineral drinking water or
distilled water as a part of the antifreeze
solution. Water that is high in mineral
content or salt may be harmful to the
aluminum engine.
Using coolant with silicate inhibitors may
cause premature wear of water pump
seals or blockage of radiator passages.
Using tap water may cause engine
damage.

The factory provides a 50/50 solution of
antifreeze and distilled water in this
motorcycle. This coolant solution is
recommended
for
temperatures and provides good corrosion
protection. A higher concentration of
antifreeze decreases the cooling system
performance and is recommended only
when
additional
freezing is needed. A concentration of less
than 40/60 (40% antifreeze) will not
provide proper corrosion protection.
During freezing temperatures, check the
cooling system frequently and add higher
concentrations of antifreeze (up to a
maximum of 60% antifreeze) if required.
