GSX1300R - 99500-39187-03E - Pag 257

The document discusses the cooling and lubrication system for an engine. It recommends using a 50:50 mixture of distilled water and ethylene glycol antifreeze as engine coolant. This mixture provides optimal corrosion protection down to -31°C. If temperatures will be below this, the antifreeze ratio should be increased up to 55% or 60%. Only use high quality ethylene glycol and do not mix different brands or add additional radiator anti-leak additives. The system capacity is 1,475 ml of antifreeze and 1,475 ml of water. Proper precautions should be taken when working with hot coolant as it can cause burns.

* You can be injured by scalding fluid or steam if you open the radiator cap when the engine is
hot. After the engine cools, wrap a thick cloth around cap and carefully remove the cap by
turning it a quarter turn to allow pressure to escape and then turn the cap all the way off.
* The engine must be cool before servicing the cooling system.
* Coolant is harmful;
• If it comes in contact with skin or eyes, flush with water.
• If swallowed accidentally, induce vomiting and call physician immediately.
• Keep it away from children.
