Title: Coolant tank
Post by: strat10 on February 21, 2011, 09:15:42 AM
I was cleaning my bike yesterday, and noticed that the White coolant tank was empty. Is that suppose to have coolant in it?

thanks

If you are referring to the coolant expansion tank, then (as far as I know) the answer is yes. It is not a must to have liquid in that tank, but as the radiator overflows or pulls the needed quantity of coolant from there, it would be a good idea to check if the radiator itself has enough coolant in it.

Either way, as a precaution, you can fill the tank up to the MAX level.

I'm not an expert but this seems the logical thing.

When you fill make sure to check your owners manual to see if it should be at the max line upright or on the side stand.
