Distilled water
CAUTION:
must be used with the
antifreeze (see specification for
antifreeze) in the cooling system.
A
PI
If hard water is used in the system, it
causes scale accumulation in the
water passages, and considerably
reduces the efficiency of the cooling
system.
A
WARNING: Do not remove
the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. When the engine is hot,
the coolant inside the radiator is hot
and also under pressure. Contact
with this hot, pressurised coolant will
cause scalds and skin damage.

In an emergency, water alone can
be added to the cooling system.
However, the coolant must be
returned to the correct mixture
ratio as soon as possible.

Coolant Level
Inspection
If the coolant level is being
checked because the coolant has
overheated, also check the level in
the radiator and top-up if
necessary.
If coolant must be added often, or the
expansion tank runs dry, there is
probably a leak in the system. Have
the cooling system inspected by your
authorised Triumph dealer.
Position the motorcycle on level
ground and in an upright position.
Remove the seat.
Check the coolant level in the
expansion tank. The coolant level
must be between the ‘MAX’ and ‘MIN’
marks.
If the level of coolant is too low,
remove the cap from the expansion
tank, and add coolant mixture
through the filler opening to the ‘MAX’
mark. Refit the cap.
