NOTE: This procedure is only re-
quired ifthe cooling system has been
drained for maintenance and/or re-
pair. However, if the recovery bottle
has run dry, the level in the radiator
should be inspected and coolant
added if necessary.
WARNING Never remove the
pressure cap when the engine is
warm or hot. Escaping steam can
cause severe burns. The engine
must be cool before removing the
pressure cap.
To access the radiator pressure cap:

clean the area around the oilcap and
remove the oil cap (2-cycle models).

fingers under the front of the cover
and pulling upward. Reinstall oil cap.
Gen IV - Remove the four screw se-
curing front rack. Remove front cov-
er by placing your fingers under the

cap should need replacement con-
tact your dealer for the correct re-
placement part.
