Here's some useful maintenance tips.

·         As with any other veichle, don't open the circuit with a warm engine.

·         Completely remove the body panels… you'll work smoothly.

·         Unscrew the bleeding screw before you take off the cork; coolant will not bleed out unless air  enters the circuit.

·         Be warned: coolant flow will be abundant at first, so hold a bucket in front of the bleeding hole.

·         Don't pour coolant in the expansion reservoir unless the circuit is completely filled. It's not recomended and it's vain.

·         Proceed carefully, pouring the coolant slowly and waiting the fluid to descent in the motor. You can accelerate this operation by pinching alternatively the rubber hoses, easing out air bubbles.

·         Once the cicuit looks completely filled you can screw in the cork and fill the expansion reservoir.

·         Check the reservoir to reach the correct coolant level.

All of the operations described above are much more easily done with the motorcycle on the side stand; you can also cant the bike on the left to help the fluid flow out.
