COOLING SYSTEM
SYSTEM TESTING
RADIATOR CAP/SYSTEM PRESSURE
INSPECTION
Remove the following:
– Right middle cowl (page 2-7) (CBR650RA)
– Right shroud (page 2-10) (CB650RA)
– Radiator cap [1]
Wet the sealing surfaces of the cap [1], then install the
cap onto the tester [2].
Pressurize the radiator cap using the tester.
Replace the radiator cap if it does not hold pressure, or
if relief pressure is too high or too low.
The cap must hold the specified pressure for at least 6
seconds.
RADIATOR CAP RELIEF PRESSURE:
108 – 137 kPa (1.1 – 1.4 kgf/cm
Connect the tester to the radiator.
Pressurize the radiator, engine and hoses using the
tester, and check for leaks.
Excessive pressure can damage the cooling system
components. Do not exceed 137 kPa (1.4 kgf/cm
psi).
Repair or replace components if the system will not hold
the specified pressure for at least 6 seconds.
COOLANT REPLACEMENT
REPLACEMENT/AIR BLEEDING
• When filling the system or reserve tank with coolant,
or checking the coolant level, place the motorcycle
in an upright position on a flat, level surface.
Remove the following:
– Under cowl (page 2-11) (CBR650RA)
– Intake air duct (page 2-8) (CBR650RA)
– Shroud (page 2-10) (CB650RA)
