Some models have fairing lowers. The fairing lowers provide an extra level of riding comfort by blocking wind and water from the rider's legs.
NOTE
The fairing lowers on Twin-Cooled models contain cooling system components and do not have a storage compartment.
Do not remove fairing lowers on Twin-Cooled vehicles.
Do not store any items in the fairing lowers on a Twin-Cooled vehicle.
Vent Door
See Figure 1. The fairing lower vent door can be adjusted to direct airflow for rider comfort and circulate air across the engine. Slide the vent door lever to adjust or close the vent door.
Cooling System: Twin-Cooled Vehicles
See Figure 1. On Twin-Cooled vehicles, the fairing lowers include cooling system components. The coolant bottle is behind the access panel in the right side fairing lower. See Maintenance and Lubrication → Cooling System to check the coolant level.
The access panel is secured with three retainers. Carefully pry at the top and at each lower corner to remove the access panel. To install, push the panel until the retainers snap into place.
Keep the radiator screen and outlet duct clean and free from obstructions.
