Is that the coolant level or am I seeing things?
Written by gibinmich on 3/18/2012 at 02:44 pm

With my bike on the centerstand and hand on the front brake, I rock the bike and
if I can see the fluid sloshing around its fine. I like my fluid level a little
low because if its at the full mark it sometimes finds its way past the wimpy
cap seal.

the tank and allows me to see the level.

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.
