December 11, 201312 yr i have had the petrol tank off, thinking i could get to the radiator filler cap but no chance, i can see the cap but it is under the frame and if i could get my fingers in i don't think i could poor water into it, i need to check it to see if their is antifreeze in it and check the level. regards Tony

December 11, 201312 yr Hi, To be able to see and check the level,and coolant mix. I used to remove the electric pack above the rad,it gives you a better access. may take a bit longer, but peace of mind.
December 11, 201312 yr I do as Sherco 34 does, and to check the level I have a piece small hose with a mark scratched on it that I stop at the filler neck and when withdrawn the fluid level shows somewhere under that mark showing how low the fluid is. Cheers Taff
December 12, 201312 yr Far easier to remove the front tank mounting bolt & fold the cdi etc out of the way, I've used both methods & prefer this 1 as theres no messing about trying to get the cap out of the way to see the level or struggling to get it sitting flat before screwing it back down
