If Your Engine Overheats
Taking Care of the Unexpected
The operation temperature of each
cooling fan is different. Therefore, it is
normal when only one of the fans operate.
Check the radiator fans.
If either or both are not working, turn
the engine off. Open the fuse box
(page ) and check the radiator fan
fuses. If the fuse is blown, replace it
with the proper (same rating) spare fuse.
Start the engine. If the warning
indicator and the high coolant
temperature indicator go on, turn the
engine off.
If the radiator fans are working,
visually check the coolant level in the
reserve tank, located behind the rear
brake fluid reservoir. It isn’t necessary
to touch the radiator system.
If there’s a mild leak, you can ride for
awhile, carefully watching the meter. Be
prepared to stop and add more coolant or
water. If the leak is bad, transport your
motorcycle to a Honda dealer (page ).
If you are able to resume riding, continue
to monitor the meter frequently.
If the reserve tank is low or empty, don’t
ride without adding coolant (page ).
After adding coolant, turn the engine on
and check the temperature meter.
If the temperature doesn’t drop, do not
ride. The engine needs repair. Transport
your motorcycle to a Honda dealer
(page ).
If the temperature drops to normal,
check the coolant level. If it has gone
down, add more coolant.
