WARNING
Engine coolant is harmful or fatal if
SAE 10W/40 swallowed or inhaled.

◉ ANTI-FREEZE
The coolant performs as rust inhibitor and
water pump lubricant as well as anti-freeze.
Therefore the coolant should be used at all
times even though the atmospheric temper-
ature in your area does not go down to
freezing point.

This 50%% mixture will protect the cooling
system from freezing at temperatures
above -31℃. If the motorcycle is to be
exposed to temperature below -31℃,
this mixing ratio should be increased up
to 55%% (-40℃) or 60% % (-55℃). The mix-
ing ratio should not exceed 60% %.
