To inspect the coolant level:
• Position the motorcycle on level
ground and in an upright position
(not on the centre stand). The
expansion tank can be viewed from
the left hand side of the
motorcycle.
• Check the coolant level in the
expansion tank. The coolant level
must be between the MAX and MIN
marks. If the coolant is below the
minimum level, the coolant level
must be adjusted.
Coolant Level Adjustment
Warning
Do not remove the expansion tank cap
when the engine is hot.
When the engine is hot, the coolant
inside the radiator will be hot and also
under pressure.
Contact with this hot, pressurised
coolant will cause scalds and skin
damage.

To adjust the coolant level:
• Allow the engine to cool.
• The expansion tank cap can be
removed from the left hand side of
the motorcycle.
• Remove the expansion tank cap
from the expansion tank and add
coolant mixture through the filler
opening until the level reaches the
MAX mark.
• Refit the expansion tank cap.
Note:
• If the coolant level is being checked
because the coolant has
overheated, also check the level in
the radiator and top up if
necessary.
• In an emergency, distilled water
can be added to the cooling system.
However, the coolant must then be
drained and replenished with HD4X
Hybrid OAT coolant as soon as
possible.
Caution
If hard water is used in the cooling
system, it will cause scale
accumulation in the engine and
radiator and considerably reduce the
efficiency of the cooling system.
Reduced cooling system efficiency may
cause the engine to overheat and
suffer severe damage.
Coolant Change
It is recommended that the coolant is
changed by an authorised Triumph
dealer in accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements.
