Is that the coolant level or am I seeing things?
Written by mlmiller1959 on 3/18/2012 at 12:15 pm

I have to do much the same thing but keep a small military-style angled head
flashlight which I put against the coolant tank.? It illuminates the inside of
the tank and allows me to see the level.

Hi Ben .... been there and thought the same as you. What I have resorted to
doing is parking the bike in a dark(ish) area, remove the coolant reservoir dash
panel. Then shine a flashlight down through the panel hole while looking up
beside the RH fork from below. There are a couple of lines on the reservoir tank
that become visible and the level can easily be seen. I usually have it near to
the top level when the bike is at operating temperature.
