1. | See Figure 2. Remove six screws from the outer shroud of the right cowling. Remove the outer shroud. | |
WARNING Do not loosen or remove pressure cap when cooling system is hot. The cooling system is under pressure and hot coolant and steam can escape from pressure cap, which could cause severe burns. Allow motorcycle to cool before servicing the cooling system. (00091c) CAUTION At operating temperature, radiators and oil coolers contain hot fluids. Contact with a radiator or oil cooler can result in minor or moderate burns. (00141b) | ||
2. | See Figure 3. Check coolant level in expansion tank with coolant cold and motorcycle on its sidestand. NOTE Only fill coolant into expansion tank. Do NOT remove cap from the radiator. See a Buell dealer if additional cooling system service is required. | |
WARNING Coolant mixture contains toxic chemicals, which may be fatal if swallowed. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting; call a physician immediately. Use in a well ventilated area. Irritation to skin or eyes can occur from vapors or direct contact. In case of skin or eye contact, flush thoroughly with water and go to hospital, if necessary. Dispose of used coolant according to federal, state and local regulations. (00092a) | ||
3. | If level is below COLD FULL line on tank, remove cap from expansion tank. Add HARLEY-DAVIDSON EXTENDED LIFE ANTIFREEZE & COOLANT (Part No. 99822-02) until fluid level reaches the COLD FULL line. NOTE Genuine Harley-Davidson Extended Life Antifreeze & Coolant is pre-diluted and ready to use full-strength. Do NOT add water. | |

5. | Install outer shroud on right radiator cowling. Tighten six screws to 9–9.9 N·m (80–88 in-lbs). NOTE If the coolant expansion tank is empty when the engine is cold, it is possible that air has been drawn into the cooling system. The system must be purged of any trapped air and refilled with coolant. See the service manual for instructions on the correct procedure. |
